How to edit Nikon Coolpix A10 MXF files in Pinnacle Studio?

What's the best workflow for Nikon Coolpix A10 MXF video files and Apple's Final Cut Pro X? The workflow would depend greatly on how powerful your Mac system is. If for any reason you are unable to use Nikon Coolpix A10 MXF files in Final Cut Pro X fluidly, this tutorial may shed you some light. It explains a way of transcoding Nikon Coolpix A10 MXF media to FCP X preferred ProRes 422 codec for a smooth editing workflow on your Mac machine.

"Is there a way to go back to the previous version of Final Cut Pro X? I have serious issues editing Nikon Coolpix A10 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 A10 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 A10 MXF footage to another format (e.g. Apple ProRes Codec ) that FCP X will handle well.
