Fujifilm FinePix S8200 MXF and Final Cut Pro X workflow
If your FCP X reports an import error or something similar while handling Fujifilm FinePix S8200 MXF files, you may wish to read this tutorial. We write it to help those who are meeting problems working with Fujifilm FinePix S8200 MXF footage in Final Cut Pro X. It presents a way of converting Fujifilm FinePix S8200 MXF files to ProRes codec for use in FCP X smoothly.
"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.

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 Fujifilm FinePix S8200 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.
