It's my go-to video camera for reportage and doco, and recently shot a short film with it.” - Kinomatic User Mike R. ------------------- **HIGHLIGHTED FEATURES** CAMERA AND MICROPHONE SELECTION Choose from all available camera on the phone - e.g. ultra wide, wide, telephoto and triple lens on the iPhone Pro models. Select any of the available microphones. Want to do live voice over while recording? Select the front facing mic while you record with the back facing camera. Want to monitor audio with a headset but don’t want to use the headset’s mic? Just select the phone’s back mic instead. 4K Record and edit at 4K resolution. CAPTURE STILL IMAGE Need to capture a still while using Kinomatic? Just tap the still image button. Captures at maximum resolution when you’re not recording video and at video resolution while recording video (yes, you can capture still images while recording video!) SUPER PERSIST After hearing from filmmakers using Kinomatic in studio shoots we worked with them to create Super Persist. Set up your shot and enable Super Persist to keep your White Balance, Focus and Exposure settings uniform between sessions. Also great for consistency on multi-camera shoots. SMART PRESETS Kinomatic comes loaded with presets for filmmakers and broadcasters (For broadcast in EU 25FPS, and in US 30FPS). You can also add your own presets or customise any existing presets. Save time on set-up and consistency by using Smart Presets.

Lots of options and an easy interface. One star lost because you can’t edit in landscape orientation. ### 5/5 — Unique with good features *2024-03-26* I really like all the fine tune and manual controls, including the zoom speed adjustment. When I checked some test footage using Exiftool I saw that metadata are encoded correctly including gps coordinates. This isn’t an important consideration to most people but they are to me. Although I don’t have a Bluetooth mic, I like that it can support one. The editing feature is basic, yet it enables you to quickly throw together a video that’s comprised of several clips stitched together. Although you can’t directly copy or move a clip from one project to another, you can import a clip that’s part of another project from the Camera Roll, or even other videos that weren’t filmed using the app. That said I personally don’t like that the app saves recordings directly to the camera roll, although it’s one of the app’s main features. This would not be my main app for recording video, but it has certain advantages over other apps which are enough for me to use in specific situations. ### 4/5 — Good app but… *2022-04-18, version 1.12.1* Hi, I love the app but I’m struggling to use a usb remote to Initiate video recording. My remote works on the ios camera app well but it adjusts the sound on this app??? Please advise ### 4/5 — Remote control access *2022-02-02* Hi I just purchased your app, and I’ve been trying to find a good app that will take videos record pause play, but with a remote control, is there any way to connect a lanyard??? Sincerely Mike ### 4/5 — Totally worth it *2022-01-18* I stumbled onto this app a few years back and I wish I could set it as my default camera in someways. It had all the features I needed specially microphone input selection and monitoring and a nice simple interface the editing system is not bad although I haven’t used it too much. I could’ve swore there was a way to manually set white balance. Glad to see that this is getting updated I hope it continues. You can take photos while recording video. There can occasionally be bugs but usually you close out and it resets and fixes it and I haven’t lost any files yet although I did have a audio video synchronization issue once and I think that was from unplugging the microphone while recording. I have it on every device from a 4s to 13 mini. **Developer response:** Thanks for the thoughtful and thorough review! Great to hear you are enjoying Kinomatic. Your feedback and suggestions are much appreciated: an option to lock to landscape video in the app is a great idea. ### 1/5 — Weird popping noises in audio *2021-01-01* This app was working fine and recently strange popping noises happen anytime I record rendering the app useless to me. Just a waste of money for me now. I checked to make sure my levels were not clipping in the app, just using my normal voice in a quiet room. I deleted the app and reinstalled and still have the same thing. I tested my normal camera app on my iPhone 8 and it doesn’t do this. Wouldn’t recommend. ### 3/5 — Corrupt file *2020-07-04, version 1.12.1* I want to like and recommend this app but can’t. Great features and loads of useful formats. I tried transferring a large 50min video (9gb) from iPhone to iMac. The only way I could was to load in iMovie then save to camera roll. Then transfer the new file, who knows why. Not good enough I want something reliable. ### 3/5 — Can Get Back to Home Screen *2020-04-21* First time user. I couldn’t figure out how to get back out of video mode to start or home screen. How do I easily get to list of my saved videos? **Developer response:** Hi Blue Minny. To go from the camera to the editor, tap the EDIT button (next to record button). To go from the editor to the camera, tap the camera button (top of screen). To see all your projects, tap the library button on the editor screen (four squares on top of screen, next to the camera button). Individual clips you record are all saved to your phone's camera roll. Email us at help@kinomatic.co any time if you have more questions! ### 1/5 — Preset option now crashes app *2020-03-01, version 1.12.1* I used to use this app all the time but since getting an iPhone 11 every time I try to select a preset it crashes. It’s getting frustrating having to reset it every time I need to use it ### 2/5 — Bluetooth setting not working *2020-01-15* How do I access the Bluetooth option on the app? I go in the app to find I can’t even use it, waste of my money ## Frequently asked questions about Kinomatic ### What does Kinomatic do?
