If you own a digital camera from well-known video equipment makers like Sony or Canon, then chances are you are already familiar with the MXF file format. The Material Exchange Format or MXF is a video format that is created when you record a video using many DSLR cameras.
As you might expect, the MXF file format isn’t as common as other formats like MP4, AVI, MOV, etc. This is a problem, as many devices that include iPhones and iPads do not support the .mxf format. This essentially means you are unable to transfer videos that are in this particular format to your iOS device and use them to view those files.
Thankfully it is simple enough to convert MXF file format into MP4 and make it suitable for your iPhone or iPad. There are several articles that explain how to convert MXF to MP4 format in multiple ways. However, in this post, we will simplify this process for you and recommend a tool that you can use to efficiently convert MXF to MP4 and easily transfer your videos to iPhone.
The following guide shows you how you can use Movavi Video Converter to convert MXF to MP4 on Mac or Windows. However, if you already use Adobe Premiere on your computer, then you can also import MXF files into Adobe Premiere and export them in your desired format as explained here.
