Pinnacle Studio won’t read my Nikon Coolpix S2900 MXF files

If your FCP X reports an import error or something similar while handling Nikon Coolpix S2900 MXF files, you may wish to read this tutorial. We write it to help those who are meeting problems working with Nikon Coolpix S2900 MXF footage in Final Cut Pro X. It presents a way of converting Nikon Coolpix S2900 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 Nikon Coolpix S2900 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 S2900 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 S2900 MXF footage to another format (e.g. Apple ProRes Codec ) that FCP X will handle well.
