In case you take a XAVC camera like Sony F55 to record 2014 FIFA World Cup Video, and get some 4K, 2K, 1080P and 720P videos. You may have the quesion: Can I load World Cup XAVC shootings into FCP for editing on Mac? 
The answer is "No". Don't worry about this. This guide will show you two ways to import and edit World Cup XAVC recordings in FCP X on Mac.

If your Final Cut Pro version is lower than 10.0.8, you will can't use this plugin. Install, run, log, transfer... This is a long and painful process. And you can't edit World Cup XAVC files in FCP natively. I think this way isn't good for you.
