Since updated to macOS High Sierra, lots of FCP X users have serious troubles dealing with MXF files from Fujifilm FinePix S9800 and other camcorders. Is there any possibilities to solve these problems? In this article, we explain a workaround to transcode Fujifilm FinePix S9800 MXF footage for easier use in Apple's Final Cut Pro X.
"Hi guys, I've been struggling with one problem none has been able to fix so far. I'm editing some MXF files coming from a Fujifilm FinePix S9800 through FCP X. For some reason the Fujifilm FinePix S9800 .mxf files are imported without any audio. I have processed a lot of Fujifilm FinePix S9800 MXF videos in the past without any issues at all and I'm following exactly the same procedure - the only change is that I have updated my OS to High Sierra. This is really strange and I'm wondering if it's related to some update in FCP X and if anyone else has experienced a similar issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!"
