What is an .MXF file?
MXF files are video files that may store professional-quality footage, audio, and metadata used in television broadcasting, filmmaking, and video production. The files are saved in the Material Exchange Format (MXF), an industry-standard container format developed by the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE) for exchanging media between different systems. MXF files can store video data encoded with various codecs, along with multiple audio tracks, timecode, and other production-related information.
You may encounter MXF files when working with footage captured by professional camcorders, digital cinema cameras, or broadcast equipment. For example, news segments, commercials, or film scenes shot on high-end production gear are often stored as MXF files to ensure consistent quality and compatibility across editing and broadcasting platforms. File Viewer Plus lets you open and play MXF files and convert them to the MP4 format for easier editing, sharing, or long-term storage.
