Is there a plugin or add on that i am missing? thanks for the help.

MpegStreamclip is working great for me now. I am curious, however, where you are getting the notion that converting h.264 to Prores will give you better image quality... The best you can ever do when transcoding an image is to not lose quality... but you cannot add image data that isn't there to begin with. So, even if you're converting h.264 footage to fully uncompressed, your image quality will look exactly the same as the source but not visually better. When I have converted 7D footage to Prores, it looks very close to the same quality but not better. happy to hear your insights thanks! Great tip thanks! MpegStreamclip is working great for me now.
