Kino is a great new video app for iPhones

The Fitbit Ace LTE smartwatch is designed specifically for children, with a focus on gaming and safety. It transforms exercise into play and helps kids lead more active, independent lives5. The watch costs $229 and will be available in the Google Store and on Amazon on June 5. It requires a Fitbit Ace Pass subscription plan, which is $10 per month or $120 per year1.

Key features of the Fitbit Ace LTE include:

1. Gaming: The watch has a built-in arcade with a variety of games that emphasize movement and encourage kids to take breaks to unlock more playtime. It tracks the child's activity as they play throughout the day.
2. Safety: The watch offers reliable calling, messaging, and location sharing with parents. Parents can set up the watch using the Fitbit Ace app, which is available on Android and iOS. They can monitor their child's activity and location, as well as call and text the watch through the app.
3. Customizable Eejie: An interactive character that gets happier and healthier with increased activity. Kids can customize their Eejie with new clothing and decorations for its digital home.
4. Durability: The watch is resistant to drops and splashes, with a durable Gorilla Glass screen and water resistance up to 164 feet.
5. Tap to Pay: An optional feature that parents can enable if they want to teach kids about spending.

The Fitbit Ace LTE is aimed at children between the ages of 7 and 11, but Google expects that kids as young as 5 or 6 can use it, and young teens might still find it engaging.

The development of the Kino video app was inspired by the success of Lux's photography app, Halide, and the team's desire to create a similar tool for videography. The app is designed to make it easier for videographers to use their iPhones to shoot cinematic video, and it offers a range of features that cater to both professional and amateur users.

Some standout features of Kino, as mentioned in Installer No. 40, include:

1. Instant Grade: This feature allows users to press record and create cinematic video with a color preset applied to their recording. This can save time by removing the need for editing.

2. AutoMotion: Kino's AutoMotion feature lets users get a 180-degree shutter angle on footage without having to play around with settings, resulting in cinematic video with the right amount of blur.

3. Pro and approachable: The app is designed to be powerful enough for professionals, but not overly intimidating for amateurs. Users can choose their experience when they get started with the app, which then determines what settings are turned on.

4. In-app lessons and tips: Kino offers in-app lessons and tips about the basics of video for beginners, making it a useful tool for those new to videography.

5. Flexible media storage: Kino allows users to record clips to their photo library or to the app's own storage, which can be accessed using the Files app. This provides flexibility when it comes to storing and managing video content.

6. LUTs: Kino includes a selection of LUTs (Look Up Tables) created by well-known online filmmakers, which can be applied to footage during recording or playback. Users can also import their own custom LUTs.

Overall, Kino aims to provide a sleek, simple interface that offers just-pro-enough features with a just-complex-enough UI, making it an appealing choice for both professional and amateur videographers5.
