    - if your camera uses h265 it's not a prob, ffmpeg can convert it
    - if your camera uses .mts 4gb chunks you probably have to concatenate them together and remux them, ffmpeg works from standard input and remuxes setting audio and video codecs to 'copy'.
    - cameras encode with quick but wasteful settings in terms of space, you might want to reencode with fixed quality at slower presets if you know what you're doing.
    - conversely, good old xvid is not too bad at high bandwith, wastes space but is easier on cpu
    - archiving in h264/h265 patent encumbered formats? think [streaminglearningcenter.com] again [streamingmedia.com].
    - kdenlive seems to work better with mkv than mp4 for shuttling between frames
    - proxy clips are a must for HD, tried them in kdenlive, work like a charm
    - need to change fps and not have jerky movements? you may be in for trouble if you leave the matter to kdenlive rendering options. Try other options unless it's an easy conversion (3060, 2550). ffmpeg with -fps filter or piping to yuvfps -w or other editors maybe.
    - kdenlive has some export formats that are less stable than the others.
