The reason that you can't edit Canon EOS M5 .mp4 files in FCP is simple: the Canon M5 uses the sophisticated H.264 compression method for recording video files to the camera's memory card. So the files you getting out of Canon EOS M5 are suited to be delivered as is, which is usually not what you want.
In order to edit Canon EOS M5 MP4 files in Final Cut Pro smoothly, the H.264 compression format requires that files be transcoded into a format better suited to editing, effects, and color grading; this would usually be Apple ProRes codec, which ensures maximum editing quality and efficiency when working with Final Cut Pro 7 or FCP X.
