Every project in Kino is built from sequences. A sequence defines the canvas: resolution, frame rate, and the tracks that hold your clips.

Resolution presets

Open the Composition Inspector (select your sequence in the timeline) to pick a resolution:

​
Frame rate

Each sequence has its own frame rate. Choose from common presets or type a custom value: When you change the frame rate, Kino rescales all clip positions and durations to preserve their timing at the new rate.

​
Subsequences

A sequence can contain other sequences. This allows you and the Kino agent to build modular edits: assemble a scene as its own sequence with its own frame rate, then drop it into a master timeline. Each subsequence has independent resolution and frame rate settings. Select a subsequence in the timeline to see its composition settings in the inspector.

Rendering and export

Kino can render exports directly in your browser. For many timelines, this avoids a server queue. You can also render server-side if you prefer. Both methods produce the correct number of frames at every frame rate.
Browser-rendered exports at NTSC rates (23.976, 29.97, 59.94) accumulate a small timestamp drift toward the end of the file, about 3.6 ms per hour. A/V sync becomes noticeable (~20 ms) around the 5.5-hour mark. For exports longer than a few hours at NTSC rates, use server-side rendering to achieve frame-accurate containers.
