Kino is a collaborative video editor for teams and their agents. Compositions are code, so people and agents read and write the same projects, and everything you upload is indexed as soon as it lands. Kino was built alongside editors at major Hollywood studios and top YouTubers. It puts cloud storage, a multiplayer timeline, pro media playback, and agentic motion graphics in one place. Kino plays codecs that browsers can’t decode natively. ProRes, DNxHD, Blackmagic RAW, RED R3D, and Avid’s OP-Atom MXF play directly in the browser, and a timeline full of ProRes scrubs as smoothly as H.264.

What you need to run it

The desktop app is the recommended way to use Kino on macOS, Windows, and Linux. In the browser, use the latest Chrome — production workflows depend on Chrome-only APIs (WebGPU for the timeline, WebCodecs for decoding), so Safari, Firefox, Arc, Edge, and Brave are not supported for editing. Kino renders the timeline with WebGPU and decodes video on your GPU, so any modern computer with a WebGPU-capable browser works. For 4K+ footage, a dedicated GPU (NVIDIA, AMD, or Apple Silicon), 16GB+ RAM, and SSD storage help. On mobile, media viewing works: browse your projects and chat with your footage from your phone’s browser. The editor is desktop-only.
