That’s really good advice and I’ll tweak my content around that. Thanks to both of you for your input. I still personally feel like there’s room for using device-local uncompressed media in a media editing context, but I suppose that’s a pretty incredibly niche market. :)

There's minimal loss of fidelity, but it's also still relatively quick to do the encode because x264 is exceptionally performant. I use this extensively in a video processing pipeline I wrote (2 million-ish videos a month, at the moment). It's a total lifesaver, because processing video in a lossless way requires such a huge amount of storage/memory that it's almost not worth consideration for anything but digital mastering of original content. A better approach in probably ~95% of situations is a "near lossless" approach.
