Simple to use, easy to understand interface. Kino is great for editing DV content, where you need to simply cut footage, correct a little color here and there, splice footage together. If your looking for a ton of whizbangs, this isn't the program for you.
Has built in exports for most types of media formats (Xvid, FLV, DVD, SVCD, VCD) I usually export to raw DV then encode with mjpegtools (mpeg2enc piped through yuvdenoise and/or yuvkineco if needed).
The add transitions interface could use a little revamping in my opinion. I actually had to read the help manual to figure out how to add transition. I'm glad I did though, as the the help manual is well written with plenty of examples.
Version 1.1.1 had a bad habit of crashing if you worked it too hard (lots of shuttling, marking scenes quickly). It was as if the program couldn't keep up with my edits. 1.2.0 seems to have fixed this so far. |
