For a video recording app, it's an interesting marketing decision that there's only one video on the page. And at least on my computer, it doesn't play, I only hear the audio.
These folks have a stellar reputation, and I'll be buying this app on that (and the I-was-expecting-more-digits price) alone, but I would have enjoyed seeing some kind of short film "shot on Kino". If only to see some professional work.

- dylan604 2y ago> These folks have a stellar reputation The name they've chosen for the app, Kino, is a bit weird to me. When I hear the word Kino, I immediately start to think about lighting as that's how people refer to lights from Kinoflo which gained popularity from their fluorescent lights in the years before LEDs took over.
- stnmtn 2y agoI think of the internet "meme" of calling movies you like "Kinography", or saying that a movie you watched was "kino". Example: Movie XYZ is pure kino
- dylan604 2y agoI get the use of Kino, and that's why I caveated the statement with "weird to me" immediately followed by the specific reasons it is weird to me. I did not say that it is weird because it has nothing to do with anything. It's just when someone that's been in the production world and familiar with equipment names and brands, Kino definitely has a specific meaning on first hearing it.
- janfoeh 2y agoKino is German for "cinema" — maybe that is the origin of the name?

- keiferski 2y agoKino is directly or extremely similar to the word for cinema in many languages, including German, Polish, Slovak, Czech, Danish, Croatian, and Finnish, to name a few. The word cinema itself is ultimately from the hard-K Greek kínēma: Borrowed from French cinéma, clipping of cinématographe (term coined by the Lumière brothers in the 1890s), from Ancient Greek κίνημα (kínēma, “movement”) + γράφω (gráphō, “write, record”). Compare German Kino (“cinema”), ultimately from the same Greek source. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/cinema#English https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/cinema#English
- sandofsky 2y agoWe definitely had more video examples planned, but production fell through at the 11th hour, and we decided it was important to ship before WWDC. So it goes. However, the advertisement in the blog post made by Sandwich Video was entirely shot on Kino.
- dylan604 2y agoMaking the decisions like that for getting exposure from an event with a pre-release version is always a scary thing. Luckily, WWDC attendees will be much more understanding of early versions vs the public. Good luck!
