Kino - Pro Video Camera

Вылетает на 13 mini: когда ставишь kodiak79 при 60fps - приложение фризит и вылетает

I loved Halide and wanted to support the developers so bought this immediately. However, I seem to be missing LUTs/filters and the ones I do have either don’t do much or don’t look very good to me. Honestly just a bit disappointed. Happy to support the Halide team as I enjoyed Halide and Spectre but this one has been a miss for me.

I purchased this app without hesitation as I already own Halide and Spectre, both of which work extremely well. I’m looking forward to see how this exciting new app develops with each update.

After a few days playing with Kino, I’m in love. Shooting 4K/60/LOG/HEVC and applying one of the included grades is like magic!! Very much enjoying a renewed interest in shooting video again on my iPhone. Another instant buy from the team at Lux!!

For a ‘pro’ app it’s really quite disappointing. It understand that it’s meant for more of a professional style of video shooting but it feels like it’s missing some key features that make it take longer to set up your shot and use, it puts me off using the app in it’s current state. I’ve tried to consolidate a list of bugs/ features I’d like to see addressed below: Bugs/Fixes: If you have the grid overlay turned on when you fully close the app, the next time you open it, the grid is switched off again. The app should remember the previous setting. When changing colour space, specifically from sRGB to Apple Log, the live preview freezes and the app needs to be restarted. There doesn’t seem to be any focus peaking in either manual or auto focus (I thought I read that there was that feature in this app). Features to add: Ability to tap to focus and easily lock focus (this would make it so much quicker when setting up different shots. Ability to set a specific white balance and lock that so that it can be consistent when recording multiple video clips in the same environment. Overall, the UI of the app is really nice and the general controls feel good. It just needs those improvements for it to become my go to app in my content creating process. For reference, I am running iOS 17.5.1 on an iPhone 15 Pro.

So far so good: the UI is easy to understand and navigate and the baking features are helpful for a quick run and gun

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!
