If you are asking for community version of Cinelerra, there is a PPA as @Brett Howard said. It worked on my current system. Just used these:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:cinelerra-ppa/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install cinelerra-cv

The updating process after installing the PPA is automatic:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

I am the maintainer of the Cinelerra ppa. After some compilation issues, cinelerra is finally available for oneiric (and precise):

https://launchpad.net/~cinelerra-ppa/+archive/ppa

As of this date, the cinelerra-ppa is no longer maintained. Trying to install using the command sudo add-apt-repository ppa:cinelerra-ppa/ppa will give the error:

************************************************************************
THIS PPA IS NO LONGER MAINTAINED.
WE RECOMMEND USERS TO TRANSITION TO CINELERRA-GG:
Details and installation: https://cinelerra-gg.org
************************************************************************

So....

You have to go to https://www.cinelerra-gg.org/ to find both the download you need, and installation instructions.

At this time, there is no Ubuntu 19+ version, so you have to install Ubuntu 18 version.

Also there are plenty of dependencies, and some may be unavailable for your system. The README files are your friends.

go to cinellera's official website cinellera.org and click the arrow at the side of the "download" button on the top and select "cinellera"

u will see 2 options for ubuntu 64bit and 32 bit choose according to your system and download the two links..

you will see those links in your download files in your file manager.....

maybe your Pc is 32 bit , so i think you must use 

wget http://www.deb-multimedia.org/pool/main/c/cinelerra/cinelerra-data_4.4-dmo1_all.deb http://www.deb-multimedia.org/pool/main/c/cinelerra/cinelerra_4.4-dmo1_i386.deb

but if cannot work as well , maybe you can also get the package from 

wget http://www.deb-multimedia.org/pool/main/c/cinelerra/cinelerra-data_4.4-dmo1_all.deb http://www.deb-multimedia.org/pool/main/c/cinelerra/cinelerra_4.4-dmo1_amd64.deb

and last step is sudo dpkg -i cinelerra_4.4-*.deb and than to run that app you can write the cinelerra on terminal

Heroine Virtual (HV), the producer of the original Cinelerra, generates a new release of Cinelerra annually, available as source code and a binary for Ubuntu in the HV-repo on SourceForge and as source code in the HV-repo on GitHub https://github.com/heroineworshiper/hvirtual

A new rolling repository for Cinelerra-HV was published on Feb. 2024 in the HV-repo on GitHub. https://github.com/heroineworshiper/hvirtual_bin This repo contains the binaries (continuous builds) for Ubuntu. These continuous builds contain the latest features and bug fixes for testing purposes. After each update to the source code repository on GH, Adam Wiiliams builds/provides a binary file for testing (in the binary repo on GH). No installation required. Just run ./cinelerra.sh from the directory.
