Although previewing your HD videos in OpenShot might be very stuttery
and jerky, it should still export smoothly and correctly.  If I was you,
I would do a couple of tests with your HD clips and a few small edits,
and export to a HD format, and see how the final result looks.

Also, I would recommend re-encoding the videos as other formats, just to
see if you can't find a better performing codec.  For example, this
command will re-encode an entire folder of videos into MP4 format, which
typically works very good in OpenShot:

$ find '/home/USER/MyMovie/Videos' -iname "*.MTS" -exec ffmpeg -i {}
-acodec ac3 -ab 128k -ac 2 -r 60 -vcodec mpeg4 -f mp4 -y -sameq
{}_new.mp4 \;

Good luck!

Title:
  Poor video playback with HD video

Status in OpenShot Video Editor:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  I have tried several video editors but Open Shot seems to be the best
  for Linux. However, the video playback with high def video is very
  poor. It will play back but it stumbles and breaks up the audio as
  well. I noted that the standard def vid (both high and standard def
  being GoPro cameras), works well but not the high def. This might not
  be a bug but more an upgrade if there is one?

  Steve.
