What is MXF and why use it?
MXF (Material Exchange Format) is a professional container format designed for broadcast and post-production. It provides excellent metadata support and is widely used in professional workflows.
Which operational pattern should I choose?
OP1a is the most common and widely supported pattern for single video/audio items. Use OP1b for ganged items or other patterns for specific workflow requirements.
DNxHD vs DNxHR - which should I use?
Use DNxHD for HD (1080p) content and DNxHR for 4K/UHD content. DNxHR also supports higher bit depths and frame rates than DNxHD.
What are the different DNx quality levels?
Higher numbers mean better quality: DNxHD 36 (proxy), 115 (standard), 175/185 (high quality). For DNxHR: LB (proxy), SQ (standard), HQ (high), HQX (premium), 444 (highest).
Can I use MXF files in consumer video editors?
Some consumer editors support MXF, but it's primarily designed for professional software like Avid Media Composer, Adobe Premiere Pro, and DaVinci Resolve.
Why are MXF files so large?
MXF prioritizes quality and editing performance over file size. The format uses high-quality codecs and includes extensive metadata, resulting in larger but more professional files.
