Video audio organization and import tool (leminal.space)

Hello can anyone recommend some software for Linux that I can use to import audio recordings and videos and organize them while hopefully detecting duplicates and ignoring those.

I've been using darktable for a good while now for photography management and editing but sort of stopped hitting the record button on my camera because I know darktable doesn't import video.

I know digikam can sort of work with video files to import and organize as well as photo rapid downloaded. Photo rapid downloaded is pretty good from when I used to use it before moving to bazzite and was unable to get it to work. Now I'm on cachyOS but didn't have any luck getting it to work either. It also didn't do audio from what I remember.

But I'm also going to be recording audio with my field recorder and wonder if there's maybe another option where I can dump audio, video from my camera and my cars dash cam as well

Honestly I have really enjoyed using Kdenlive and it has a nice browser, clip editor and library building system of edited clips and stuff.

Do you use kdenlive to get your files off your SD card to your machine or is it more for after you already have you files there? I've used kdenlive for just video editing before but didn't see any sort of importing tool that sorts files into directories like by date or anything like that
