How to edit Sony Cyber-shot DSC-QX30 MXF files in FCP X?

Since updated to macOS High Sierra, lots of FCP X users have serious troubles dealing with MXF files from Sony Cyber-shot DSC-QX30 and other camcorders. Is there any possibilities to solve these problems? In this article, we explain a workaround to transcode Sony Cyber-shot DSC-QX30 MXF footage for easier use in Apple's Final Cut Pro X.


How to transcode MXF footage to ProRes for FCP X editing

"Is there a way to go back to the previous version of Final Cut Pro X? I have serious issues editing Sony Cyber-shot DSC-QX30 MXF footage in FCP X after the upgradation to macOS High Sierra and FCP X 10.4. FCP X won't import the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-QX30 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 Sony Cyber-shot DSC-QX30 MXF footage to another format (e.g. Apple ProRes Codec ) that FCP X will handle well.
