Yes; however the Mac version of MXFX is not released yet, so you would have to run it on a PC or bootcamp.

1. Use MXFX to convert 720/25PN to 720/50 and edit in a 720/50P
project or convert to 720/24 and edit in a 720/24P project.
2. Yes, see above. Both are lossless conversions.

Eventually the 25p/24P conversion will be made to work with all formats, however in the case of the other formats recompression will be required. The 720-line format is the only one that is more-or-less the same data format for both 50Hz and 60Hz cameras.
The Mac version is about a month away, and it will run on both
Powermacs and Intel.
And it works with the duel adapter as well when writing back to the card.

The new version of MXFX is online (1.03). It adds the capability to convert 720-line format clips to 1080-line format, and vice-versa.
For example, you can take a 720/24PN clip, upres to 1920 x 1080 and then apply a 3:2 pulldown, and this would allow you to bring HVX 720/24P clips into an Avid 1080/60i project.

Avid's Bob Russo's tutorial on using MXFX with Avid Media Composer
to convert 720/24PN to 1080i60 with 3:2 pulldown:

He demos with the PC version but the Mac version works exactly the same.

I've been waiting for the mac version for a while.
Here's my question:
I have a 720 24 p native project (80 minutes long) it's all imported using FCP log and transfer so every file is has now the QT wrap.
Later this month we'll upres to 1080 and I'll be delivering a rendered QT of the whole to the Post facility.
Before that I would like to try the noise (grain as they say) reducer in some shots. Of course I have all the original MXF files backed up.
So, I'll find the original files and apply the 'reducer', how should I proceed to bring back to my QT wrapped project?
Could this become a problem later for my upres?

You would have to use log and transfer to make a new QT wrapper
or use Raylight/Mac to import the MXF files directly into the project.
As far as I know there should not be a problem doing an upres with such a project.

Thanks for the quick reply.
Just to clarify: when using log and transfer should I point at the original file?
Should I save the corrected (reduced noise) file and then import that?
Sorry for the dumb questions, I'm the director and cinematographer of the project and our editor has moved on to a new project, I'm not really familiar with FCP.
