Why does it say it’s 4 years old? Is that just when you initially put it in there during development?

#232…app. Pro Video Camera App.
It's not in the title, but it really should be.

#233I wish titles on HN would clarify the platform for limited releases like this. This is iOS exclusive.

Content rating. Ages 4 and older.

#235Just a future suggestion. Can you make the record button go on for a set time at set intervals. Would be useful when filming action or yourself but you just want to capture a variety of clips as you're progressing at doing something. Eg. 15 seconds every 5 minutes as you're painting a room.

#236I really appreciate that the app is just an up front price! I probably don't really need it but at that price and straightforwardness it's not really a big loss if I don't use it much so I grabbed it. I looked at the other apps and realized they had made Halide as well which I tried out for a bit, for some reason thought it was subscription only & decided I didn't want it that much while clearing out subscriptions, a…
They did the same thing with Hallide.
Give enough time (1-2y) and they will charge a subscription from you and lock you away from the app you've purchased.

#237Thanks for the honest pricing, and letting people own your software. I have an iPhone 11 with which I probably can't make the best use of Kino, but I bought anyway just to support you guys.

Hell hath no fury like an Android user spurned.

#239It's refreshing to see you kept the website simple. No stupid scroll jacking or fancy (read distracting) transitions or scroll effects. I like supporting independent software studios like yours who try not to sell out, so bought it without hesitation, even though I don't shoot a lot of video with my iPhone. This will probably make me experiment more with video.
This is a blog post about the app, not the website. The actual website has the fun you are complaining about: https://www.shotwithkino.com/

#240Just so you know: this app does not support zooming, it only switches between lenses. (This was a little surprising to me, but I'm not a video professional.)
Seems like what I’d expect from a movie making app. Why digital zoom your 4K camera 4x and pixelate your result down to 1080p?
If you're not shooting ProRes I'd imagine you'd get fewer compression artifacts by zooming before encoding.
