Introducing: Kino. Our take on pro video for iPhone.

Beautiful video made easy. One-tap cinematic color, perfect motion, and tons of pro features — great for film pros, but simple enough for the rest of us.

And... we have a few surprises:

Here’s 4 of the latest themes of our 52-week challenge! This week’s theme is ‘Speed’ - take a shot and share it to participate and have a shot at winning some really cool merch.

Some more details in our Discord. 💬 discord.gg/eCCSDqUp

Here’s a cool new thing we’re doing: we now have a Discord community! Great for sharing shots, tips, and tracking your progress in our 2025 photography challenge.

We never talk about our future plans. Let’s change that a bit. Take a peek at what’s coming in our next big release: Halide Mark III.

The bright “Star” you’re looking at next to the moon tonight is actually Jupiter.

Grades got an update in Kino 1.2 — from some fresh new graphics to an overhauled Grade presets menu! You can now reorganize all presets, including your imported LUTs.

Kino 1.2 lets you shoot 120 FPS video and other high frame rates on iPhone — great for rapid action shots! And, well, hummingbirds.

A new Kino update adds 4Kp120 support, access to the iPhone 16 Pro Camera Control, and 10 new languages.
