As I mentioned, to install / update Kdenlive to latest version you need to add the PPA. Here are the step by step to do :

Step 1 - Open Ubuntu's terminal window then add the following PPA into Ubuntu system :

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

Type your password when it prompted then press Enter to continue.

Step 2 - Refresh the sources by running the command below :

sudo apt-get update

Step 3 - Once updated, all you need is install the latest kdenlive by running :

sudo apt-get install kdenlive

It needs to get 18.3 MB of archives and 48.0 MB of additional disk space.

Now you can open Kdenlive from Unity dash, Synapse launcher or similar app launcher.
