Halide Developer Launches Kino App for Cinematic Video Shooting

TapTechNews May 30th news, the developer of the popular photography app Halide announced today the launch of the Kino app, which is an app specifically designed for shooting cinematic videos.

Kino provides the tools needed by professionals to shoot videos, while also providing relevant guidance for amateur videographers. The Kino app has a one-click video recording function, and its InstantGrade function preset professional color grading content from experts, and users can also import their own LUTs to deploy color grading during recording. TapTechNews attached the relevant pictures as follows:

The AutoMotion function defaults to using a 180-degree shutter angle to help users capture a cinematic dynamic effect during shooting. When the ambient light is sufficient, the AutoMotion tab will turn green, indicating that this is the ideal time to capture the dynamic.

Although the design of the Kino interface is simple and easy to use, there are also many professional tools to choose from. There are exposure adjustment options such as RV adjustment, AE and WB lock, and there is also a full manual mode for controlling shutter speed and ISO.

The app includes quick access tools for adjusting resolution, frame rate, encoding, etc., as well as a level grid, an RGB waveform for adjusting exposure, and a focus peak for changing the focal length.

Kino is currently available on the Apple AppStore platform (click here to visit) and costs $10.
