Traditional tools make you choose: work with massive files locally, or transcode everything to proxies and lose quality. Kino does both automatically. You get full-quality local playback and your team gets remote access without you managing proxy workflows.

​
When you have the files locally

If you’re on the computer where the footage lives, Kino scrubs the original files directly. 4K, 8K, RAW—it doesn’t matter. Your GPU decodes the video in the browser. No transcoding, no waiting. 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 automatically when you upload—you don’t need to do anything. Your teammates see the same timeline, same cuts, same everything. They just stream the proxy instead of reading from your drive.
