OpenKinoAI: A Framework for Intelligent Cinematography and Editing of Live Performances

Abstract OpenKinoAI is an open source framework for postproduction of ultra-high definition video, which makes it possible to emulate professional multiclip editing techniques for the case of single-camera recordings. OpenKinoAI includes tools for uploading raw video footage of live performances on a remote web server; detecting, tracking, and recognizing the performers in the original material; reframing the raw video into a large choice of cinematographic rushes; editing the rushes into movies; and annotating rushes and movies for documentation purposes. OpenKinoAI is made available to promote research in multiclip video editing of ultra-high definition video and to allow performing artists and companies to use this research for archiving, documenting, and sharing their work online in an innovative fashion.
