3FR to MTV conversion is the process of transforming Hasselblad's proprietary 3FR raw image files into the MTV image container/format used for specific media workflows or playback. This conversion extracts the raw sensor data, metadata, and embedded color profiles from 3FR and repackages or encodes the visual content into the MTV format so it can be viewed or processed by software and devices that support MTV.

3FR is a raw image format primarily used by Hasselblad cameras, containing unprocessed image data. MTV is a multimedia container format optimized for playback and editing, supporting various codecs. While 3FR files are ideal for high-quality image editing, MTV files are better suited for efficient video handling and sharing.
Keep original 3FR files intact; convert copies to preserve raw originals and metadata.
For best quality preservation, choose the MTV lossless option or the highest-quality MTV setting to retain color depth and dynamic range.
If converting many files, batch conversion tools that preserve XMP sidecars and filename mapping will save time and keep metadata consistent.
