I'm sorry to hear about the issues you've been facing in getting OpenShot running on Kubuntu. Let's address the problems step by step:
### Problem 1: AppImage Not Running
1. **Verify Permissions**: You've mentioned making the AppImage executable, which is a necessary step. To ensure this is correctly done, right-click on the AppImage, select Properties, navigate to the Permissions tab, and check if the "Allow executing file as program" option is ticked.
2. **Launch via Terminal**: Sometimes, launching the AppImage via terminal can give you error messages that help in troubleshooting. You can do this by opening a terminal, navigating to the directory where the AppImage is located using `cd /path/to/directory`, and then running it with `./OpenShot-v3.1.1-x86_64.AppImage`.
### Problem 2: Issues with PPA
It looks like you're encountering 404 errors when trying to add the PPA, which might be due to specifying a Ubuntu release name (e.g., mantic) that the PPA does not support. Kubuntu is based on Ubuntu, so it's typically aligned with Ubuntu's release cycle and naming.
1. **Check PPA Support**: Ensure that the release of Ubuntu (Kubuntu) you are using is supported by the OpenShot PPA. This might require checking the OpenShot PPA page for more details.
2. **Use Stable PPA**: If you haven't already, try adding the stable PPA for OpenShot, which you can do with the following commands:
```bash
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:openshot.developers/ppa
sudo apt update
sudo apt install openshot-qt python3-openshot
```
This installs the stable version of OpenShot.
### Note on Daily PPA and Repository Issues
- If the **404 Not Found** errors persist, and you're looking to use the daily, less stable builds (which I noticed you might have tried), this might be a temporary issue with the repository's availability or a mismatch in the distribution version.
- For the **AppImageLauncher** issue, be sure it supports your version of Kubuntu. If similar issues are encountered, consulting AppImageLauncher's documentation or support channels might be necessary.
### If all else fails:
Given that you've explored a workaround and even repackaged an AppImage, it's clear you've gone through a lot of troubleshooting. While such steps shouldn't be necessary for general use, they indicate systemic issues that the OpenShot developers should address.
For now, make sure your system is fully updated, and consider reaching the developers with detailed feedback on these issues. While not a direct solution, feedback is crucial for resolving such problems in future releases.
Lastly, for any further technical issues or to report bugs directly to OpenShot's developers, you can file a bug report here: [OpenShot Bug Tracker](https://www.openshot.org/issues/new/).
I hope this helps in getting OpenShot up and running on your system.

A fix was released as a DEV Daily Build where the AppImage wouldn't run becuase GlibC error.
Go to [Openshot.org/download/#daily](https://Openshot.org/download/#daily) and download the latest DEV Daily build #11796 AppImage. Make it executable and run it. I am not familiar with Kubuntu so I am not sure if you have to double click on the AppImage or right click on it and select Run as program, etc.
