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 Fujifilm FinePix S8200 MXF footage in FCP X after the upgradation to macOS High Sierra and FCP X 10.4. FCP X won't import the Fujifilm FinePix S8200 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 Fujifilm FinePix S8200 MXF footage to another format (e.g. Apple ProRes Codec ) that FCP X will handle well.
