Convert MXF to MP4
Footage from a broadcast camera, a Sony XDCAM or a Canon cinema body is an MXF that consumer software will not open.

Where the streams already fit the target container this is a lossless remux, which is close to instant. Otherwise it re-encodes, which in a browser is slow — keep it under a few hundred MB and send long videos to the cloud engine.

What actually changes
MXF and MP4 are not the same picture in two wrappers.
The video essence, often XDCAM HD, DNxHD, AVC-Intra or ProRes, is re-encoded to H.264 and the multiple mono audio tracks are mixed down or mapped into a stereo AAC track.
Worth knowing first
Broadcast MXF files routinely carry four or eight separate mono audio channels, one per microphone, rather than a stereo mix. A default conversion takes the first two and silently drops the rest, so the presenter's lapel mic can vanish.
Questions
MXF to MP4, answered
Why is MXF so awkward?
It is a wrapper standard with many operational patterns and vendor flavours. Two MXF files can be structured completely differently.
Will the timecode survive?
Not as broadcast timecode. MP4 has no equivalent field that editing software reads the same way.
