Lux’s Halide app has been a hit with photographers for its easy-to-use pro-level features, to the point that it has a 4.5-star rating on the iOS App Store. Now, they're bringing that magic to video with Kino, a new app designed to allow iPhone videographers to shoot more professional films.
Kino takes advantage of the iPhone 15 Pro’s ability to shoot ProRes videos in Log format. If you’re not familiar with Log, It is a super flat color profile that videographers love because it gives them lots of control over the final look of their videos.
One of Kino’s coolest features is “Instant Grade,” which lets you shoot with grade presets right out of the gate. You can also record in Apple Log format and play with the presets later. Another handy feature is AutoMotion, which automatically picks the best exposure settings for that dreamy cinematic motion blur.
Kino also supports Look Up Tables (LUTs), which are tools that adjust the color and tone of your video. You can even import your own custom LUTs—a feature that Apple’s Final Cut Pro for iPad doesn’t have.
The developers are clear about privacy: their apps don’t collect data or analyze your media, and there’s no generative AI involved.
Alongside Halide and Kino, the team also built Spectre, a camera app dedicated to making long exposure photography on iPhone easier with AI-based stabilization technology.
You can pick up Kino for $9.99 today. After that, it goes up to $19.99, so get it while it’s hot.
