Halide has long been a popular photo app on the iPhone, providing more granular control over Apple's camera system than the stock Camera app. Now with Kino, its creators Lux Optics have fulfilled their promise to release a similar app exclusively for video.
Kino's main feature is Instant Grade, which is designed to provide cinematic video without the massive file sizes that Apple's magazine format creates. Kino comes with an ever-growing list of lookup tables (LUTs), which are color grading presets designed by experienced filmmakers and automatically applied during recording.

There is a manual mode, and everything can be adjusted even with automatic settings. But the company says Kino also has an exposure logic feature called AutoMotion, which applies motion blur depending on whether the video is shot indoors or outdoors.
Lux Optics wants to appeal to both new and experienced filmmakers. Thus, along with automatic settings — and an accompanying series of videos on the basics of videography — Kino also has professional features.

These include composition guides, audio levels, RGB waveform, white balance, auto exposure lock, etc.
Movie requires iOS 17 and is available for a short time on the App Store at a starting price of $9.99. After that, the price will increase to $19.99, but the purchase will still be a one-time purchase, without subscriptions or ads.
