Can't import Canon EOS 6D Mark II MXF files into FCP X
Came upon troubles on your Mac while editing Canon EOS 6D Mark II MXF files in Final Cut Pro X after upgraded to High Sierra? Actually, there are a number of users having the same issues. To solve these incompatibility issues, you could convert Canon EOS 6D Mark II MXF video clips to Apple ProRes codec first before you start editing in FCP X.
"Is there a way to go back to the previous version of Final Cut Pro X? I have serious issues editing Canon EOS 6D Mark II MXF footage in FCP X after the upgradation to macOS High Sierra and FCP X 10.4. FCP X won't import the Canon EOS 6D Mark II 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 Canon EOS 6D Mark II 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 Canon EOS 6D Mark II 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.
