PROGRAM:

NAME

kino - non-linear editing of Digital Video data

SYNOPSIS

kino [ ( file | playlist ) ... ]

DESCRIPTION

kino allows you to import movies from DV camcorders, to edit, and play them. file may be
a DV encoded file that will be loaded at startup. Alternatively, you can specify a SMIL
playlist of DV files that was previously created with kino.

DV is a special kind of video encoding, commonly used in digital camcorders. Differently
coded movies, like DivX or mjpeg, need to be converted to DV before they can be fed into
kino.

A video file either holds the raw DV-coded data, or wraps it in a certain container
format. Kino currently supports AVI, and QuickTime containers, and distinguishes between
the different formats by file extension. Therefore, file names need to end in .dv or .dif
for raw files, .avi for AVI, and .mov for QuickTime files, respectively. Anything else is
treated as a SMIL playlist.

KEYSTROKES

Unlike other editors, kino uses many keyboard commands for fast navigation and editing
inside the movie. It acts on frames that are single images from a movie, scenes that are
defined as groupings of one or more frames with recording times differing by no more than
one second, and movies that are groups of one or more scenes. The following keystrokes can
be used for moving and editing. Some of them are also available as buttons in a graphical
menu bar. (Also note the deliberate similarities between kino commands and the text editor
vi.) The following is a brief list of the commands. A more complete list is available in
the online help.
