Does Pinnacle Studio have native support for Nikon Coolpix S32 MXF files?

Cannot import Nikon Coolpix S32 MXF footage into FCP X? This issue may happen due to various reasons. If you are trying to figure out a way solve the issue, you are just here in the right place. Here in this tutorial, we present a way of encoding Nikon Coolpix S32 MXF video files to Apple ProRes 422 codec for working with FCP X flawlessly.

"Is there a way to go back to the previous version of Final Cut Pro X? I have serious issues editing Nikon Coolpix S32 MXF footage in FCP X after the upgradation to macOS High Sierra and FCP X 10.4. FCP X won't import the Nikon Coolpix S32 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 Nikon Coolpix S32 MXF footage to another format (e.g. Apple ProRes Codec ) that FCP X will handle well.
