When creating a new sequence from footage I get the wrong codec

Hello,

Working for the first time in PP23 (I held out on 22.2 until now). When I drag a footage clip onto the 'New Item" icon in my bin, the sequence it creates has matching settings except for the codec. In this case, my footage clips are Prores422, and the new sequence sets to ProresLT. Any idea why this is happening and if there is a fix?

Premiere Pro 23.4

Macbook Pro 2020 2.3 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7

MacOS 13.3.1

internal GPU: Intel Iris Plus Graphics 1536 MB

external GPU: AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT

memory: 32 GB 3733 MHz LPDDR4X

Ann is correct – this is the preview file codec which is referring to the file that is created when you render your sequence (and get the green bar above it). It need not match your footage. In previous versions of Premiere Pro the preview format was the I-Frame MPEG, recently we have changed it to QuickTime/ProRes 422 LT. If you prefer a different preview codec you can always change it and save that as a new sequence preset, and use that preset moving forward.
