Kino AI

What is Kino AI?

Kino AI is a filmmaking assistant for organizing and managing media assets. It combines the roles of an assistant editor, a digital imaging technician, and a script supervisor in a single tool.

The platform automatically backs up footage from SD cards, works with external hard drives and cloud storage, and organizes files into custom folder structures. It also handles automatic metadata labeling, AI transcription, sound artifact removal, and proxy file generation.

Kino is built for anyone involved in filmmaking: documentarians, short film directors, commercial editors, content creators, music video directors, TV studios, feature editors, event shooters, promo makers, and film students.

Kino is currently in private beta, meaning it is being tested by a select group of users before a wider release. You can join the waitlist on their website for early access.
