Kdenlive Video Editor
Kdenlive, the popular Qt-based free open-source video editor, released new 24.12 version a few days ago.
The new release package was made available on December 14. KDE.org announced it within KDE Gear 24.12, though there’s still no official release note in kdenlive website at the moment of writing.
For those who prefer the native .deb app packages, here’s new unofficial PPA for installing the most recent Kdenlive video editor 24.08.3 in Ubuntu 24.04 and 24.12.2 in Ubuntu 24.10.
Since version 24.02, the Kdenlive video editor is finally ported to Qt6 plus KDE Frameworks 6, which brings big performance improvements, but also a few regressions.
Due to this change, the developer team discontinued the official Kdenlive PPA, since KF6 is NOT yet made into Ubuntu repositories.
The official packages are now only Flatpak and AppImage, that run in sandbox. For those who prefer the .deb package format, here’s the new unofficial PPA for choice.

However, due to this change, the developer team discontinued supporting for the official PPA that contains the native .deb package for Ubuntu and Linux Mint. Now, it supports only AppImage & Flatpak for Linux.
Other downsides due to switched to Qt6 and KDE Frameworks 6 include:
