• Thinking about creating my own video editor. Good idea? Bad idea?

  Actually developing something like Kyno would be a better idea. It has been discontinued and there really isnt anything like it. Source: over 1 year ago

• Is there any program for previewing video files?

  Sounds like something Kyno should be able to do... Would definitely recommend trying the trial before committing any money though, just to make sure! Source: almost 2 years ago

• Need software (PC) to go through all video files in client folder

• How do you organize photos? but for Art inspiration

  I use Kyno for cataloging my video clips, for raw and stock footage. Although it's designed for video, it works well with images as well. You could use it to catalog your inspiring works, and then later use it to catalog your own works.
