What is Video Logging?

Video logging is the process of analyzing footage and creating detailed descriptions of its content. Traditionally done manually by professional loggers, this time-consuming task involves watching every second of footage, often multiple times, and documenting what appears on screen. Kino automates this entire process using AI to generate clear titles, comprehensive descriptions, person identification, and highlight markers—completing in minutes what would take humans hours or days.

​
How Kino Logging Works

Kino combines multiple AI technologies to analyze your footage:
  • Computer vision identifies objects, scenes, people, and actions
  • Natural language processing creates human-like descriptions
  • Speech recognition captures and contextualizes dialogue
  • Face detection tracks individuals across your footage
  • Optional prompting to customize tone, pick out only certain details (like jersey numbers), and more
The result is time-coded descriptions that read as if written by an experienced human logger, enabling you to quickly understand and find what you need in your footage.
