Hi NMGLUG folks,
I want to say thanks to everyone who has helped me to move forward with installing a video editor.
The rest of this email is directed to Jason.
Thanks for your detailed instructions with CLI commands.
With this help, I had a lot of success. Below are details.

Next, I looked in my menu under "Sound and Video". I found Kdenlive added as the only addition to the menu. I launched Kdenlive. There was an error message about Breeze. I ignored that. I think that it is only a skin. I've experimented with Kdenlive. It seems to be working OK. I will need to learn how to use it before I'll know if it's really working well or not. I found a tutorial which suggested to change the skin to Breeze. That functionality is missing for me. Nonetheless, my initial experiments with editing have been successful, I think.
So, thanks again.
About Ubuntu, I recognized that the link from leopoldo was for Ubuntu. I tried the CLI command there in my Debian unsuccessfully. I have Debian on my new, wonderful X240 which you helped set up for me. I have Lubuntu and Xubuntu on two other machines which I rarely use now.
Best,
LeRoy
