Kino was a free software GTK+-based video editing software application for Linux and other Unix-like operating systems. The development of Kino was started at the end of 2000 by Dan Dennedy and Arne Schirmacher. The project's aim was: "Easy and reliable DV editing for the Linux desktop with export to many usable formats." The program supported many basic and detailed audio/video editing and assembling tasks.
Kino has been included in several Linux distributions, including Debian, Puppy Linux and Ubuntu.BSD ports are also available.
Development towards major feature implementations in Kino was slowed due to the lead developer, Dan Dennedy's inclination towards the development of Media Lovin' Toolkit. Dennedy indicated when he released Kino 1 that he was returning to work on the MLT Framework to support Kdenlive (another Linux non-linear digital video editor), "since its latest version shows much promise."
As of August 5, 2013, the official website for Kino indicated that the project is "dead" and that users should try alternative software.
Kino is the name of the plant gum produced by various plants and trees, particularly Eucalyptus, in reaction to mechanical damage, and which can be tapped by incisions made in the trunk or stalk. Its red colour, together with the tendency of some species to ooze large amounts of it from wounds, is the source of the common names "red gum" and "bloodwood". The word “kino” is of West African origin.
Astringent tannin compounds are a major active component of kinos. The chief constituent of kino is kinotannic acid, of which it contains 70 to 80 per cent. It also contains kino red, a phlobaphene produced from kinotannic acid by oxidation. Kino also yields kinoin, a crystalline neutral principle.
In cold water it is only partially dissolved, leaving a pale flocculent residue which is soluble in boiling water but deposited again upon cooling. It is soluble in alcohol and caustic alkalis, but not in ether.
When exuding from the tree, it resembles red-currant jelly, but hardens in a few hours after exposure to the air and sun. Kinos typically dry to an amber-like material. It consists of dark red angular fragments, rarely larger than a pea. Of the small angular glistening fragments, the smaller are reddish, and the larger are almost black; thin pieces are ruby red. It is brittle and easily powdered. It has no smell, but a very astringent taste.
Titans awake!
You have followed blurred footprints
The tracks of living gods
You've come close to the abysmal ones
Question your sanity
As you wonder in pools of blood
Moonless nights of fear and death
Lost now in the forbidden world
Walking nightmares
Monstrous beyond description
Like planets they collide
Shifting mountains with their clash
Overlords of the poisonous soil
Ever hungry to dominate
Summoning storms and forging
Aeons in iron spheres
Flee before the seal of titans
Don't approach the deathless ones
Flee before the seal of titans
Don't approach the kings of the void
Watchers of the seas of Absu
They were, they are and they shall be
For this land was given to those beyond
Who are without beginning or an end
Flee before the seal of titans
Don't approach the deathless ones
Flee before the seal of titans
Don't approach the kings of the void
In a world where light is absent
The dark stars guide their path
Isolated world of demonic rulers
Denied from mortals to be seen
Rulers of black earth
Denied from the mortals to be seen
They were
They are
They shall be
And you shall behold
It's the triumph of titans
Flee before the seal of titans
Don't approach the deathless ones
Flee before the seal of titans
