Yes. Kino started as a desktop app for search and logging. It is now a browser-based editor with timeline editing, collaboration, AI search, and motion graphics.

​
What happened to the old Kino?

Kino started as a desktop app that helped you search and log footage, then send clips to editors like DaVinci Resolve and Premiere Pro. Now Kino is the editor itself. It runs in Chrome and includes collaboration and AI tools.

​
Can I still send clips to Resolve/Premiere?

The integration direction reversed. You now import existing projects from DaVinci Resolve or Premiere Pro into Kino and continue editing there. When you’re done, export a finished video from Kino.

​
Is Kino a plugin or extension for my NLE?

No. Kino is a standalone video editor. You can import timelines from other NLEs, but you edit in Kino.

​
What’s the difference between Kino and Frame.io?

Frame.io, Wipster, and similar tools are for review and approval. You upload a video, collect feedback, and take that feedback back to your editor. Kino is the editor. You cut, add motion graphics, collaborate in real time, and export in one place.
