Traditional tools make you choose: work with massive files locally, or transcode everything to proxies and lose quality. Kino uses local files when they are available and proxies when they are not.

​
When you have the files locally

If you’re on the computer where the footage lives, Kino scrubs the original files directly. Your GPU decodes the video in the browser. Drag a 4K file into Kino and start scrubbing immediately.

​
When you’re remote

If you’re on a different computer, or your teammates are accessing the same project, Kino streams a proxy. The proxy is generated when you upload. Your teammates see the same timeline and cuts. They stream the proxy instead of reading from your drive.
