How to install Kdenlive on Ubuntu Linux via PPA

Add the PPA and install. https://kdenlive.org/en/download/ sent to the instructions https://launchpad.net/~kdenlive/+archive/ubuntu/kdenlive-stable.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kdenlive/kdenlive-stable
sudo apt update
sudo apt install kdenlive

I encountered errors about mediainfo and glaxnimate

Some instructions https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/209923

I was able to fix the errors by installing the missing dependencies

sudo apt install mediainfo
snap install glaxnimate

Then updating a path in the settings

  1. Go to Settings -> Configure Kdenlive
  2. Choose “Environment” in the left column
  3. Click the “Default Apps” tab
  4. Enter /usr/bin/snap in the “Animation Editing” input
