Mastering video recording on your iPhone just got easier with the launch of Kino, a powerful new app from the creators of the renowned Halide camera app. While Halide has long been a favorite among iPhone photographers, Kino now brings similar benefits to the realm of video.
Designed for both beginners and experts, Kino offers a range of features to enhance your video recording experience. One standout feature is Instant Grade, which leverages the Log video recording mode introduced on the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max. This mode allows for greater flexibility in post-processing, enabling users to apply custom preset packages, or “grades,” to their videos for a unique cinematic look.
Even if you’re not shooting in Log mode, Kino provides preset packages that work seamlessly with standard iPhone video. The app’s intuitive interface, reminiscent of Halide, ensures that controls remain unobtrusive, allowing you to focus on framing your shot without distractions. Additionally, features like recording lock prevent accidental interruptions during filming.
For more experienced users, Kino offers pro-grade tools such as manual mode, RGB waveform, focus peaking, and custom recording modes. AutoMotion mode helps capture cinematic movement effortlessly, while a free video series guides users through the app’s functionalities, making it accessible to all skill levels.
Priced at $10, Kino is currently available on the App Store, with plans to increase to $20 at the end of the week. If you’re interested in elevating your iPhone videography, now is the perfect time to explore what Kino has to offer.
