Kino lets you just press record and create cinematic video with color presets by some of the best experts in the field, or by importing your own LUTs. Pick, enable, and shoot—no edit required.

Kino’s simple interface does not mean it lacks in powerful pro tools. Start out with automatic exposure with EV adjustment and AE and WB lock, or drop into full manual mode with shutter speed/angle and ISO adjustment. Compose a shot with the level grid, check exposure with the RGB waveform, and pull focus with focus peaking. Monitor audio levels and remaining recording time at a glance. Plus, Kino can store your recordings in Files instead of Photos for better and easy shot management — including opting large files out of iCloud backups. Easily set custom recording settings (like 4K 60FPS Apple Log ProRes 422HQ on iPhone 15 Pro) or get started with presets for flexibility.

At first launch, Kino lets you select your experience to put you on the right track. Start with simple recommended settings for great, immediate results and use our free included lessons to learn the fundamentals of video and filmmaking as you go along.

Simple enough for everyone, but powerful enough for pros. That’s possible thanks to its elegant, beautiful interface packed with thoughtful details. Its minimalism makes it approachable, but its gestures and consistent control placement eventually become muscle memory.

Kino biases exposure towards a 180° shutter angle in Automatic mode. Simply put, this helps you capture better looking, cinematic movement in a shot. If available light supports it, the ‘Auto’ label turns green — showing you are in the sweet spot and you are set up for capturing motion perfectly. Bright day out? Pop an ND filter on your iPhone, adjust its density, and watch the Auto label turn green when you are in the right spot. No manual setting adjustment required.
