Hi Noah,
I guess you're right. Instead of pointing to the ppa page, it could be a text presenting and explaining the commands:
> sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kdenlive/kdenlive-stable
> sudo apt-get update
> sudo apt install kdenlive
I don't have access to the website, but Farid and Eugène usually read this list.
Cheers,
Camille
