This is an ultrashort introduction to translating Kino into other languages.

For the upcoming Kino 1.0 release, I added a cherry on top: integrated publishing to the blip.tv web video sharing site from within Kino!

I installed Ubuntu 6.10 on a machine and here is the process I followed to install an unpackaged Kino as simply as possible. These instructions might apply to 6.06 LTS as well.

Kino has won a 2006 LinuxQuestions.org Members Choice Award for the Video Authoring Application of the Year category. Thanks!

I'm using kino to work on a film about Free/ Open Source Software. All the clips are going up on the Internet Archive.

My friend went around the world to interview people about free and open source software. I'm editing all the footage to take out the parts where people cough and stuff like that. When I'm done with a clip I put this rough edit on the web under a Creative Commons license. You can go to the archive and download any of the clips for your own use. The link below will take you to the clips.

I shoot a lot of video to provide visual feedback to the runners I coach (800m to Marathon distance). I need to spend time analyzing and coaching, not at my computer. Kino just works. Period. It is exactly what I need.
