Shine: Photo Messaging vs Kino - Pro Video Camera Usage & Stats

Shine is an AI-powered private social network designed to make connecting easier and relationships stronger—all through the power of photos. Photo sharing becomes more powerful with AI and can bring people closer. Shine’s features include: INTRODUCING STREAMS, your WhatsApp for Photos. We all share photos via messaging. The issue is that messaging was made for chatting, not photo sharing – so the photo experience is usually less than ideal – not full resolution, too many near duplicates, no easy gallery view. To optimize for photo-based chats, Shine now has streams, which are essentially group chats consisting entirely of photos. A stream could be for your family, a group trip, a classroom, a team, a night out, a dinner party and so on. They are like albums, but they can be infinite. They may span a few hours or span years. Streams also harness AI to organize and de-duplicate photos (finding the best one). They work great for events, parties and trips, but now the power of Shine’s curation, suggestions, and ease of sharing spans many other kinds of sharing too. AI POWERED. Shine uses AI to make photo sharing easier and better. ■ FACIAL RECOGNITION. We’ve surveyed all the face recognition models so you can get the benefit of the best of what is available today. In a stream, Shine can find all the photos of a person easily. Shine can even suggest who might be in the photos using the profile pictures from your contacts. And, you can tag people and share with them in one smooth action. For those of you who love tagging, Shine even keeps count of how many faces you’ve tagged in total and displays it on your profile page. ■ AI CURATION. Shine’s AI curation is as powerful as ever, but now it’s even more useful. By using the power of AI, you don’t have to spend your time picking the “best” photo and remembering who to send it to. You can simply drop your photos into a stream and let Shine group near-duplicates, select a key photo, and suggest, based on facial recognition, who else you may want to share with or add to the stream. This works particularly well with “everyday” photos that may not be bound for Instagram glory, but are still something you want to share with your family or friends. This is where AI-powered private social networking comes in. It’s private because it’s just your family and friends. ■ SHAREWORTHY SUGGESTIONS. Suggestions are one of our most loved features. Shine users couldn’t get enough of them. We’ve enhanced our AI’s understanding of what is shareworthy and now, because of contacts and facial recognition, you can share those suggestions even more easily with exactly who you want to. PRIVATE AND SOCIAL. Shine enables you to connect with friends privately and easily. ■ Request photos of yourself from friends. With your contacts and the power of facial recognition, we can find pictures of you that your friends have shared on Shine. Shine then suggests you request those photos from your friends. ■ PRIVATE. Most social networking feeds are filled with people you don’t even know. Shine is focused on helping you strengthen the relationships you already have. To do this well, we put privacy at the forefront. No photos are shared from your phone without your explicit action. To learn more about how Sunshine as a company and Shine as a product approach your privacy, please read our privacy pledge. ■ EASY SHARING ACROSS PLATFORMS. Streams work well for many different size groups, but it’s particularly great for groups from ten to a few hundred people. One of the issues in these smaller groups is that you will almost certainly have users who aren’t on iOS. Shine has great experiences on several platforms and makes sharing across OSes seamless. The updated Shine photos app is a new chapter for Sunshine. One we couldn’t be more excited about. Please try out Shine and give us feedback so we can improve.

Kino - Pro Video Camera

Make great video easy! Kino lets you just press record and create cinematic video with color presets created by expert filmmakers—no edit required. Plus, with “AutoMotion,” the app automatically creates that smooth "film look" you see at the movies. Shoot great video with no film school required. Are you an experienced filmmaker? Kino includes all the features you need to shoot like a Pro, such as a full manual mode, focus peaking, color waveform, audio meters, and more. If you’re experienced in color, you can import LUTs quickly and use the same powerful Instant Grade feature to output video with baked in LUTs. Regardless of your skill level, Kino adapts to your needs. Pick your experience level when setting up the app to dial things in your way or go with recommended, simple settings. The beautiful, simple interface shows only essential things, while keeping powerful features under thumb’s reach. INSTANT GRADE Kino comes packed with pro color presets by experts like Stu Maschwitz, Sandwich Video, Evan Schneider, Tyler Stalman and Kevin Ong. With one tap, you can shoot video with cinematic, film-like color by selecting a Grade preset. With Instant Grade, you don’t have to apply it later or do any editing steps: Kino just saves the processed video for you, ready to share. LEARN ALONG Getting started with video? The Kino team has a free series of lessons prepared you can dive into right away to learn filmmaking with the app. Start out with our simple recommended settings and enroll in a lesson plan to get lessons emailed to you that are easy to follow and let you unlock every feature of the app to use for making better videos. PRO TOOLS Kino’s simple interface does not mean it lacks in powerful pro tools. Start out with automatic exposure with EV adjustment and AE and WB lock, or drop into full manual mode with shutter speed, angle and ISO adjustment. Compose a shot with the grid with built in level, check exposure with the RGB waveform, and pull focus with focus peaking. Kino can store your recordings in Files instead of Photos for better and easy shot management, and even features a screen lock to prevent inadvertent taps messing up your shot. Set custom recording settings (like 4K 60FPS Apple Log ProRes422HQ on iPhone 15 Pro) or get started with presets for flexibiltiy. BEAUTIFUL INTERFACE Thoughtful touches are abound in Kino: from a screen-wide telltale ring to show you are recording, to beautiful custom typography throughout with our own bespoke fonts, Kino balances beauty and simplicity with flexibility and control for users of any skill level. AUTOMOTION Get cinematic motion like in feature films. Introducing: AutoMotion. Kino biases exposure towards a 180° shutter speed by default. If you land in this sweet spot, and available light supports it, the ‘Auto’ label turns green — showing you are in the sweet spot for great cinematic motion. Bright day out? Pop an ND filter on your iPhone and don’t worry about adjusting manual settings: Kino will take care of prioritizing shutter angle so you can just shoot and get great results. LUT FRIENDLY One of the powerful aspects of Kino is being able to download new looks from your favorite creators or your own making. Author .cube LUT files in Pixelmator Pro, Davinci Resolve, or other apps (up to 33x33) and open them in Kino with a tap. TRULY PRIVATE None of our apps gather or collect data, or analyze your videos and photos. We believe the most important thing a camera can be is private. CREATOR SPECIAL Are you a creator or filmmaker and want to get started with or love using Kino? Get in touch with us to get our ‘Creator Kit’: see the Kino website for more details. When sharing your work, tag it #shotwithkino so we can feature it online. Thanks for making it this far! Kino is made by friends — Ben Sandofsky and Sebastiaan de With, with the help of Katie-Rose Summerfield and Doug Broussard. We made this app with love and care and we hope you love it.
