Update 17th January 2017: An updated working AppImage version for Kdenlive 16.12.1 has now been uploaded to KDE’s servers. To install it, just download the file and make it executable ( chmod +x ) in a terminal, then run it. This AppImage contains Kdenlive 16.12.1, as well as git master versions of MLT, Frei0r, OpenCV, and uses Qt 5.7 and KDE Frameworks 5.30.

On Arch linux and derivatives, you need to install libselinux from AUR to run the AppImage.

Due to the current state of snap, which is evolving quickly and regularly breaks compatibility, the snap packages are not updated on a regular basis

A Snap package of latest stable release is available for supporting distros. To install:
sudo snap install --edge --devmode kdenlive
Then start the application from the command line: /bin/snap/kdenlive

To update your installed snap package:
sudo snap refresh kdenlive
The git master development version is available as “kdenlive-devel” instead of “kdenlive”.

Unfortunately we don’t provide any flatpak’s yet. The community is invited to help with this task.
