First, you must choose whether to operate in Overwrite or Create mode. Usually, if you are interested in just applying a filter to existing video or to insert a transition between scenes you use Overwrite.
Overwrite affects a range of frames in your existing movie and then non-destructively replaces those frames. By non-destructive, we mean that Kino merely automates the process of editing the newly rendered file into place rather than actually modifying any existing DV file. You can set an overall time range, and then limit the range to the beginning or end for a specific duration. Often, the Limit to option is easier than specifying the exact range. Some notes follow:
Upon entering FX, Kino sets the range to the current scene.
Click a scene in the Storyboard to set a range to the selected scene. If you want to extend the range to the entire movie, then enter a large number like 99999 into the To time field.
Narrow down the selection using the Limit to checkbox and option menu. Choose Closing to limit backwards from the ending (To) time. Otherwise, choose Opening to limit from the beginning of the range. Then, set the duration of the limit.
Click Advanced Options to change the Speed (repeat or drop frames) or Reverse the flow of the video.

Create generates and inserts new frames into your project from a variety of sources.
The built-in sources include various colour manipulators and importing still image frames ( From File ).
Installed plug-ins will be appended to the list of those available.
The default insertion point is before the current frame (the last frame show in Edit mode). Click a scene in the Storyboard to change the insertion point.
