Kino - Pro Video Camera

The application is terrible! Its implementation is highly flawed. Not only does the application frequently encounter errors when saving files, but it also lacks an image stabilizer. The videos produced are jerky and shaky. Furthermore, there is no pause mode, making it impossible to shoot a decent video. Pressing the stop button causes the application to freeze and delays the file-saving process. I suggest leaving negative comments to warn users not to waste money on something that performs so poorly and to encourage the developers to improve the application. ——— Updated! But still a lot of glitches and still have not functionality of PAUSE when recording video. It’s not for professional! Every button press is an agony of waiting. Seconds pass after pressing a button before anything happens. Moreover, the stabilizer fails to stabilize anything at all. There have been numerous updates, yet none have resolved the application's issues. The response time when pressing any button remains slow. Additionally, there is still no proper image stabilization for video recording, nor is there a pause button. The app “MoviePro” — the best! Yr app is worst and 100% not for PRO!

The app is pretty great but randomly out of nowhere I’ve been noticing that all of my videos captured, the last couple of seconds added at the end are just stills of the last captured frame, making all of the videos I captured essentially useless. Also, I tried importing numerous LUTs and most of them always gives an error saying something like “There was an error importing your LUT - We failed to parse line 3 of the file” for instance.

I wish I could leave a better review. Bottom line - for $20 I expected better customer support. It’s been several weeks since I contacted support and have only received one response asking me more questions that were already in my ticket. The app advertises that it will write to a thumb drive or hard drive but it will not stop writing to my phone even though it detects the drive. The LUTs also only work with HEVC and not with ProRes which is disappointing if you want to bake in one of their looks. To be honest though, I would never use any of these LUTs professionally as they all look stock and none feel appropriate for any content. I hope this app improves over time but I don’t recommend the purchase in its current form. Stick to the camera app on iPhone, this doesn’t go above and beyond.

as a Vlogger this app hits it out of the park! Ive asked for the volume shutter to work and the added that.. now my vlogging set up is complete!!! this is better than the Final cut camera app from apple.. plz keep this simple to use and i love i can record non pro res video on an external SD card! apple default camera only lets you record pro res on external SD cards or ssd that are fast enough! thanks team!

I love the fundamental concept behind Kino and I applaud how hard the team is working to put the finishing touches on this great app. The provided LUTs are interesting but I’d like to see a curated library of LUTS users can individually download. I’ve gotta say that after using Apple’s new FCP camera app - I was more than happy to go back to Kino. One last comment - as I said - I applaud the fresh take on controlling the camera’s essential features while allowing the camera person to keep their concentration on the story they are telling. This is one great app!

If you want the best quality video your iPhone can record, look no further than this app. It’s incredible how much more cinematic this footage looks than the stock iOS camera app.

was loving the app for my first few uses, but after i decided to trust it for recording a longish musical improvisation i discovered that my videos had no audio!

I already emailed their support but I figure given the $20 price tag, this needs to be highlighted. Recorded a bunch of videos today and most of them either have no audio or the audio cuts out after 2~ seconds. Tried exporting the videos to my Mac and the audio is simply gone. Inexcusable for an app that costs this much especially when there are free alternatives out there.

Love the app and how nice it is to use. Can you please add file name, camera info and location for the video?? Please 😊

Great app, wonderful controls, day 1 buyer. There are some audio issues when using a 15 pro max and selecting to shoot in 4k 60fps pro res. Audio goes out of sync or completely cuts out. At least it did for a good amount of my videos which sucked but it happens. Also unable to use the 5x camera when shooting in the same format. There should be a dialog box that says it doesn’t support that format rather than black screen and the app crashing.
