Frequently Asked Questions

You should consider changing MP4 to MXF when you want your video to fit into a professional workflow. The MXF format is often applied in TV stations, post-production studios, and by editors who work with broadcast and cinema projects.

Some editing software and broadcast systems process MXF files more reliably than MP4, because MXF is better at storing multiple audio tracks, timecode, and technical details in a clean, structured way. Therefore, if you find your MP4 files have problems in editing (e.g., missing audio channels and import errors), converting them to MXF can ensure the workflow becomes smoother.

MP4 is the most versatile video format made for most users. It is small, easy to share, and works on the majority of phones, laptops, tablets, and websites. Most online platforms, like social media and video hosting sites, prefer MP4 to other formats.

MXF is a professional container format. It is used in cameras, recorders, and broadcast systems. MXF can hold high-quality video, many audio tracks, and detailed metadata (including timecode and camera information) at the same time. It is designed for professional use, not for casual watching.

No, the conversion won’t improve the video quality. The video inside the MP4 file is already compressed. Converting it to MXF cannot add pixels or sharpness that do not exist. So the visual quality will stay nearly the same.

However, MXF can help keep the quality stable during editing. It can reduce the possibility of glitches and errors and ensure a more reliable playback on professional timelines.

You can open MXF files with professional or advanced media players and editors. On a computer, programs like VLC, DaVinci Resolve, Adobe Premiere Pro, and some other NLEs can read MXF.

Many basic players that work well with MP4 will not open MXF. If you double-click the file and nothing happens, try opening it manually with VLC or your editing software. If you are using MXF for a broadcast or studio device, copy the file to the device as instructed by the manufacturer.

On phones, MXF support is limited. It is better to use MP4 for normal playback on mobile devices.

Right now, AhaConvert converts one file at a time. This is because batch processing may be heavy for a browser and may cause upload or timeout problems.

You can still convert as many MP4 files as you like. You just need to upload and convert them one by one. If batch conversion is very important for you, you can send feedback. We may consider adding a batch option in the future if many users request it.

Yes, basic MP4 to MXF conversion is free. There may be limits on file size, daily jobs, or advanced options. If there are any limits, we will show them before you start.

Yes. You can upload MP4 files up to 1 GB in size. The limit is enough for long clips, HD videos, and many short films.

We set the 1 GB limit because very large files can be slow and unstable to upload through a browser, especially with weak internet connections. If your file is larger than 1 GB, you can trim, split, or compress it first, then upload the part you want to convert. As long as the file is within the size limit, AhaConvert will convert the full video for you.

Absolutely. All the video files, whether uploaded or downloaded, are kept safe during processing. We use 256-bit SSL encryption, store files in a secure cloud environment, and automatically delete them within 24 hours.
