What video logging means
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 does that work during ingest, so editors can skim a library without opening every file.How Kino logging works
Kino combines multiple AI technologies to analyze your footage:- Computer vision identifies objects, scenes, people, and actions.
- Speech recognition captures dialogue.
- Face detection tracks people across your footage.
- Optional prompts can focus logs on details like jersey numbers, locations, or product names.
Features
- Automatic titles
- Automatic descriptions
- Person identification
- Highlight generation
Whether it’s raw footage, clips from YouTube, or a mix of both, every clip receives a readable title.Filenames like 
IMG_3923.MOV can become Brendan Backstage Interview Before Keynote, which makes grid browsing much faster.
