Unfortunately the version in Ubuntu is pretty bug-riddled, yes. So it
might be normal that you experience crashes :-(

The good news is there's a version that is newer and that should also
work. It's called the AppImage format and it's basically a newer version
with all dependencies included in the box. Pretty easy to get it --
download:

https://kdenlive.org/download/

Cross distribution packages -> Appimage

You'll download a largish file (~167 MB) called
"Kdenlive-17.12.0d-x86_64.AppImage". In caja, navigate to your downloads
folder. You should see the kile there. Right click and choose
"Properties". Go to the "Permissions" tab. Check "File is executable"
(this might sound different in your version, I have the German locale).

Close the dialog. Now you can start the kdenlive Appimage version by
double clicking it.

Good luck to you!

Cheers,
Joe
