Kino International is a film and video distributor, based in New York City that specializes in art-house films, such as low-budget current films and classic films from earlier periods in the history of cinema. Some silent classics which are otherwise difficult to find are available in DVD and/or 35-mm format from Kino.
Kino is a free, open source video editing programme that lets you capture video through firewire then add titles, transitions and video effects to the footage.
Kino is designed to capture video through an IEEE1394 connection, also known as a Firewire or iLink conection.
Kino is a unique program that provides easy to use features while maintaining a small enough learning curve that even the new video producer can wrap their minds around.
Now, when capturing video, be aware of the fact that Kino can be setup to drop video frames, if needed.
On the video front, you will be happy to find some basic video transitions and filters, too.
