Cannot import Nikon Coolpix S7000 MXF footage into FCP X? This issue may happen due to various reasons. If you are trying to figure out a way solve the issue, you are just here in the right place.

"Is there a way to go back to the previous version of Final Cut Pro X? I have serious issues editing Nikon Coolpix S7000 MXF footage in FCP X after the upgradation to macOS High Sierra and FCP X 10.4. FCP X won't import the Nikon Coolpix S7000 MXF clips correctly, so they are totally unusable. How can I get a fix for this? Please help."
As far as I know, it is impossible to download older versions of FCP X from Apple, which is annoying in cases like this. Until Apple fixes this the only solution is to somehow transcode the Nikon Coolpix S7000 MXF footage to another format (e.g. Apple ProRes Codec ) that FCP X will handle well.
Video Converter (It is available for Mac, simply download the proper version depending on your computer.) 
Step 2: Click "Profile" to select output format. We would recommend choosing "Final Cut Pro" > "Apple ProRes 422 (*.mov)" as output format. Apple ProRes is FCP X's favorite editing codec, which FCP X will recognize and handle well.

Tips: If necessary, you can click "Settings" button to modify video and audio parameters like encoder, resolution, frame rate, bitrate, aspect ratio, sample rate, and audio channels. You can also "Enable 3D Settings" to add 3D effect to your source media.

Step 3: Start MXF files conversion. Click "Convert" to start Nikon Coolpix S7000 MXF files to ProRes conversion. As soon as the conversion is complete, click "Open Folder" to get the generated files for editing in Premiere Pro on your Mac with optimum performance.
