Lux, known for its popular Halide app among photographers, has now introduced Kino, a dedicated video capture app for iPhone users. Designed with a focus on supporting professional-level features, Kino aims to provide users with the tools they need to create high-quality videos.
One of the standout features of Kino is its “Instant Grade” feature, which allows users to apply grade presets to their footage while shooting. Additionally, users can record in Apple Log format within the app and preview or add presets later. Kino also includes AutoMotion, which automatically selects the best exposure settings for cinematic motion blur.
In addition to the preset options, Kino allows users to add Look Up Tables (LUTs) to alter the look of their footage using mathematical formulas. This app also supports the addition of custom LUTs, a feature that is notably missing in other editing applications like Apple’s Final Cut Pro iPad app.
Developers at Lux have made it clear that their apps, including Kino, do not gather or collect user data, nor do they analyze videos and photos. Furthermore, the app does not utilize generative AI training, ensuring user privacy and data security.
While Log support is exclusive to the iPhone 15 Pro, Kino is compatible with any device running iOS 17 or higher. This broad compatibility ensures that a wide range of users can take advantage of the app’s professional-level features.
Kino is available in the App Store at an introductory price of $9.99 until Friday, after which it will be priced at $19.99. This competitive pricing makes Kino an attractive option for both amateur and professional videographers looking to enhance their video capturing and editing capabilities.
Overall, Lux’s Kino app offers a comprehensive set of features geared towards photographers and videographers who seek professional-level tools for their iPhone devices. With its user-friendly interface and powerful editing capabilities, Kino is poised to become a go-to app for mobile video production.
