LumaFusion Video Editing App for iPad and iPhone

LumaFusion is a powerful video editing app for iOS devices that takes what iMovie has done and expands on it further, giving you more options and flexibility in your mobile editing.

While Apple's iMovie for iOS devices is a powerful editing app, it does have certain limitations that can constrain what you want to do with your video. Now, there are a lot of other options out there on the app store for video editing apps, but of all the ones we've seen, LumaFusion is the one to beat.

What makes it so great is how much closer to a desktop editing system it is. In terms of basic editing, both are great. Both let you trim and cut clips, add transitions and voiceover. When you get to more advanced editing techniques and features, though, is where LumaFusion pulls ahead.

While iMovie for iOS gives you the option for multiple video and audio tracks, LumaFusion gives you up to three tracks of each. LumaFusion has manual color correction in the app, where iMovie only has filters and basic balance color. Additionally, the app lets you use keyframes for video and audio clips.

One feature that is missing that we hope they add soon is the ability to export full projects. Now, of course you can export your videos from the app, and send them to your favorite social platforms or save them to your device's camera roll, but you cannot export the project file and transfer it to another software or device for further editing -- something you can easily do with iMovie.

Overall, the LumaFusion experience is much more similar to editing you may find on your desktop with Premiere or Final Cut than other mobile device editing apps. The price tag on the app reflects this at $19.99. 

You can buy it from the app store here.

For most of human history, people lived in a world without news. The concept simply did not exist. The idea of news is really a 19th-century phenomenon, driven first by newspapers, and then by electronic media which brought us radio, then TV and now the web. Now, it seems, we are headed back to a world without news. Not because the technology is not there, but rather because, increasingly, people are no longer interested in news, at least in the way it is packaged now.


What TV News Could Be
February 26, 2024

When television was invented in the 1930s, no one knew what TV news was supposed to look like. The medium had never existed before, and so, like Gutenberg half a millennium, prior, the first creators of TV news had to fall back on a medium with which they were familiar, and that was radio.


Maybe scary stories drive ratings… or maybe they don’t.
