Kinoklip 1.1.4 Beta

Download Kinoklip 1.1.4 Beta for Linux (AppImage)

Open it with Gear Lever (or update it there), or make it executable (right-click > Properties > "Is executable") and double-click it. Beta: keep backups.

New to Kinoklip? Read the guide.

New

• Smoother Live Preview of transitions and titles: moving the pointer along an entry in the Effects library now follows it closely, and a line on the entry shows where in the transition or title you are.
• Mouse Back / Forward buttons in the Media Pool go back and forth through the bins you opened, like a file manager.
• Thumbnail size in the Media Pool: a slider in the toolbar, or Ctrl+mouse wheel over the clips. Make them smaller to see more clips at once.

Fixed

• Scrolling the Media Pool thumbnails with the mouse wheel no longer jumps about three rows per notch; it moves a third of a row, and touchpads scroll smoothly.

Kinoklip 1.1.3 Beta

Download Kinoklip 1.1.3 Beta for Linux (AppImage)

Open it with Gear Lever (or update it there), or make it executable (right-click > Properties > "Is executable") and double-click it. Beta: keep backups.

New to Kinoklip? Read the guide.

New

• Live Preview in the Effects library, like Resolve: rest the pointer on an effect, transition, title or generator and the timeline viewer shows the current frame with it applied. Nothing changes in your project until you actually drop or double-click it.
  • Effects preview on the selected clip under the playhead (or the top clip there).
  • Transitions preview on the nearest cut; titles appear over the picture.
  • For transitions and titles, moving the pointer left and right along the entry scrubs through them, so you can see a Scroll title or a dissolve play out.
  • Turn it off with the "..." button in the Effects library title bar > Live Preview.

Kinoklip 1.1.2 Beta

Download Kinoklip 1.1.2 Beta for Linux (AppImage)

New to Kinoklip? Read the guide.

New

• Report a bug with one click: Help > Report a Bug or Inconsistency... opens GitHub's report form in your browser with the Kinoklip, Qt and FFmpeg versions, your distribution, desktop and graphics already filled in. You see exactly that text first, and choose to share it, open the form without it, or copy it for reporting elsewhere. Pick a bug, something that works differently from DaVinci Resolve, or an idea.
• New, short report forms on GitHub that ask what you did, what happened and what you expected.
• Privacy, written down: Kinoklip collects and sends nothing about you, no telemetry, no analytics, no automatic crash reports. Details in docs/privacy.md.

New

• Shortcuts from your old editor: keyboard presets for Vegas Pro (S splits), Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, Avid Media Composer, Kdenlive and Shotcut in Keyboard Customization, and import of Premiere .kys and Final Cut .commandset files. On first start, the Project Manager asks "Coming from another editor?".
• Render finished notification, like HandBrake: "Render complete" (or what failed), with Open Folder and Play. Turn it off in Preferences > User > UI Settings.
• Drag files from your file manager onto the timeline: a ghost clip shows the file's real length on the track under the cursor, snapping like a Media Pool drag, and the clip lands where you drop it.
• Bins show up as folders in the Media Pool, as in Resolve: open them with a double-click, drop clips on them, rename and delete them there.
• Sort by Type in the Media Pool (and a Type column in list view).
• Choose where imports go: the bin you are looking at (default) or always the Master bin, in Preferences > User > Editing.
• The long View menu is grouped into Switch to Page, Show Panel in Workspace, Viewer and Viewer Overlays.
• Title presets in the Effects library, including scrolling credits; title Position and Anchor in the Inspector.
• HDR phone videos (HLG / PQ) look right on SDR timelines instead of washed out.

Fixed (thanks to the testers)

• Deliver now picks In/Out Range when only an In or only an Out mark is set, and no longer switches your choice back to Entire Timeline when a mark moves.
• The Metadata panel's Clip Details values were invisible with the Breeze style.
• Clear messages for broken or unsupported files, including truncated MP4 recordings.
• Selecting a title opens the Title tab; dropping onto the empty area below the tracks makes a new track; frame-rate conversion rounds clip ends correctly.

Kinoklip 1.1.0 Beta

Download Kinoklip 1.1.0 Beta for Linux (AppImage)

New to Kinoklip? Read the guide.

New: the Color page (Shift+6)

• Grade every clip, or the whole timeline, with nodes: serial, parallel and layer (Alt+S, Alt+P, Alt+L), each with a live thumbnail.
• Primaries wheels and bars, Curves (custom and the five HSL curves), Qualifier with highlight, Windows (circle, linear, polygon, gradient) with on-screen handles, and LUTs (.cube).
• Gallery stills (Ctrl+Alt+G), apply a grade to other clips, split wipe, and copy grades from the clips strip.
• Scopes: waveform, parade, vectorscope and histogram, also as a floating window on any page (Ctrl+Shift+W).

Also new

• Composite Mode in the Inspector: 19 blend modes (Screen, Multiply, Overlay and more), also on the Compositing page's Merge node.
• Timelines now start at 01:00:00:00 and new projects default to 24 fps, as in Resolve (older projects keep their settings).
• 11 new guide articles: fade to black, freeze frame, picture-in-picture, smooth playback, vertical video, blurring a face, subtitles, keyframes and more. Press F1 in the app.
• Put a logo over a clip on the Compositing page: drag a picture from its new Media Pool panel onto the node editor.
• Double-click a timeline clip to open its source; double-click a track name to rename it; Shift+Z toggles back to the previous zoom.
• Create New Timeline dialog (start timecode, name, track counts); new timelines start with V1 and A1, as in Resolve.
• Edit a queued render job with the pencil on its card, then Update Job.
• Resolution presets in Timeline and Project Settings; Replace Selected Clip for a file that was renamed.
• 3 more guide articles for the Color page: colour correct a clip, change the colour of one object, use a LUT.
• Dynamic Zoom (with on-screen start and end boxes) and the Speed Change / Retime sections in the Inspector.
• The menu bar now follows Resolve: a Kinoklip menu (About, Preferences, Keyboard Customization, Quit), File > Import, Workspace.
• The first import asks to match the project frame rate to your clips, as Resolve does.
• Trimming: , and . slip and slide in trim mode, dynamic trim (W) on selected clips, a Dynamic Trim button, Up / Down move a selected edit point.
• Marker and flag colour buttons on the timeline tool bar; captions follow their text and go on the subtitle track you right-click.

Fixed (many thanks to the testers)

• Menus and drop-downs now open instantly, without fading.
• Audio scrubbing only plays when dragging the playhead from its head.
• Delete in the media pool or another panel no longer deletes timeline clips.
• Position Y now counts up, as in Resolve; the Inspector stays on the Video tab after edits; arrow keys work in focused lists, fields and drop-downs.
• Alt+V (Paste Attributes), Alt+F and Alt+M work; messages say "1 clip" instead of "1 clip(s)".
• Changing the frame rate of a timeline that already has clips is no longer possible (it made clips play at the wrong speed).
• Untitled projects no longer share one autosave file; a crash autosave is offered again when you open that project.
• Recent projects keep "&" in their names and follow renames in the Project Manager; Save As names the project after its file.
• Tooltips show the keys you set in Keyboard Customization; Cancel there also removes profiles made in that session.
• Imported clips go into the bin you are looking at; the Audio page timeline starts at the top; clips on locked tracks can't be selected.
• Subtitle files in UTF-16 or Windows encodings import correctly; saving right after typing a title no longer leaves the project marked as changed.

Open it with Gear Lever, or make it executable (right-click > Properties > "Is executable") and double-click it. This is the first beta: most things work, but keep backups.

New to Kinoklip? Read the guide.

New: the Compositing page

• Give any clip a node graph: select it and press Shift+5 (or right-click it > Open in Compositing Page). It starts as MediaIn > MediaOut, so nothing changes until you add nodes.
• Nodes: Merge (with blend modes), Dissolve, Transform, Crop, Resize, Letterbox, Background, Text, Fast Noise, Rectangle / Ellipse / Polygon masks, Color Corrector, Channel Booleans, and every Edit page effect (green screen keys included).
• Two viewers: press 1 or 2 to show the selected node on the left or right; on-screen handles for Transform and the masks.
• Node editor: drag from a port to connect, drop a node onto a link to insert it, Shift+Space to find any node, copy / paste, every change can be undone.
• The result plays on the Edit page and renders exactly the same; clips with a composition show a small badge on the timeline.
