LumaFusion Positive Reviews

Amazing app but room for improvementI’ve had the iPhone 8 since it came out and I’ve enjoyed using LumaFusion to take advantage of the 4K 60fps videos I’ve captured. I’ve tried all the other editing apps out and nothing is comparable to what LumaFusion offers. I can’t afford computer programs to edit my videos and this app was well worth the cost. I mostly enjoy how organized and simple they keep their vast editing options. Ever since switching to LumaFusion, I’ve really grown my hobby and passion in video editing, mainly because I have the freedom to create what I want. My video hobby has led me to upgrading to the iPhone 12pro camera benefits. However the app could use some improvements. It would be nice to see more transitions. Also opening up verified/ partnered third-party add-ons could improve the app on its own (ex. Transitions, Text fonts, effects, etc). Also the iPhone 12 pro line up now records Dolby vision videos and I’m sure future iPhones will be doing the same, likely with higher FPS. That being said, it would be great to see LumaFusion incorporate specific Dolby vision editing into their app. I’m not knowledgeable in how that works, but it would be cool being able to break down a Dolby vision video and see what’s behind the new technology. That being said, I’d be willing to pay an extra $5 bundle to access that kind of editing software. I’m also curious if LumaFusion could offer any low light LiDAR post production benefits. Aside from the lack of transitions, third-party add-ons, and Apple’s new technology, LumaFusion remains a top-tier editing software in the palm of your hand..Antoni MVersion: 2.3.2

This app is extremely powerful! One thing I would recommend…This app is powerful, the amount of stuff you can do on it still surprises me, and I’ve had it for a little over 2 years. I find Luma easy to use and fun to work with, I’ve even done stuff on Luma that you wouldn’t even think of doing on just a video editing app. I have used it for editing photos, compressing videos for faster transferring speeds, I even pared it up with Procreate and made a cool little cartoon animation! It’s truly powerful. If I were to recommend something to the creators of Luma Fusion I would say if you guys can add more editing layers. 6 layers for video plus another 6 for audio is good enough for a high quality edit, but if you figured out a way to add double or even triple the amount for just the video side, you would by far would have the most powerful editing software for iOS and iPad OS. With that many editing layers you can make complex animations with great quality. I understand the limitations of older iPhones and iPads but if you made it a feature for the M1 and M2 lineup of iPads, you would be far ahead of any video editing software on the AppStore platform. Anyways thank you for making a really solid video editing software!.Bigfact hard factsVersion: 3.2.2

Best IOS Video Editor, hands down!I honestly have to say this is the best video editor that I have used on IOS. I do a lot of video content for my music, performances, as well as live streaming; and being able to do so on the go anywhere has usually been the hardest part. Most phone and tablet video editors lack the features to meticulously edit each piece in great detail. Most seem to have a streamlined design that may make it easy and fast, but lacks the ability to reach the quality level that I require. Generally, most of the tools I find needed are only available in full desktop version programs. However, LumaFusion has been my go to for mobile editing for a few years now, and I don’t know how I would do the same content that I do without it aside from sitting at a desk with an expensive program the entire time. When currently I can choose to get my editing done anywhere even from my phone; in the bathroom, taking the dog outside, or at a family or friends‘s house, I always have the ability to finish a piece of professional level content for later wherever I am. For me this tool is priceless and indispensable. Thank you for everything always, Luma touch. 🤘🏻💯.TommyboytekVersion: 5.4.1

Audio Keeps Clipping(I use the iPad Pro 2018 and both the iPad and the app's software are up to date) I've been having problems with the audio in my videos. I thought it was just this one song i was trying to use at first but after trying several different songs, sound effects and other types of audio files, I keep having the same problem. The audio sounds fine when I'm editing in the app but every time i save a video to my camera roll I notice clipping in the audio when i listen to it. I've tried downloading the video with the volume turned down lower on every audio file in the video, I've tried downloading the video in different Audio Quality's but nothing to works. The only way I've gotten the audio to sound good is if i save the video with no audio, go into iMovie and edit in the audio in, then save that video. This makes things very difficult and annoying for me considering that most videos i create are music videos and/or videos with lots of sound effects. So if someone's got some advice or knows how to help me that would be greatly appreciated. Thank you..Jamie the shedderVersion: 2.2.1

Amazing app great results two small gripesI have been using this app for a few years mainly to edit social media stuff but I have edited short films in the past. It’s app absolutely amazing. It allows me to do high-quality edits on the go and basically anywhere. The ability to edit from a drive only intensifies how great this app is. Right now we are limited to six video tracks and six audio tracks. This is where the two things I would change comes into play. I do not mind being limited to six video tracks. However, I would love to have the ability to compound clips onto one video tracks. Secondly, and more important in my opinion, I would ask if we can have more audio tracks. Other than that, it’s one of the most amazing apps and impressive apps I have used. And with the M2 chip there should be more options to upgrade this app. Luma fusion now has competition now that Davinci resolve is on the iPad. I’m not sure what Davinci resolve offers as I have not installed it yet, but it will be competition to say the least..100%wpcu userVersion: 3.2.3

Slow Export with StabilizerThis app is fantastic in all that it does but the one feature that I use all the time in any video editing software is the stabilization feature. For some reason the stabilization when applied within this piece of software causes the video preview frame rate to drop significantly. Then when I go to export the video with the stabilization applied, the final export time takes a VERY long time for a roughly 6 minute video. When I turn the stabilizer off, the export time speeds up exponentially. I am not sure if all of this is by design or if it is a limitation of the iPhone hardware OR if it is an issue with the program It’s self. I first tried all of this on my iPhone 13 Pro then tried it on the new iPhone 15 Pro and the results are the exact same on both, stuttering video preview and very slow exports with the stabilization active. I know that export times won’t be anything close to that of my MacBook Pro but it still seems quite slow for the duration of video that I am working with in this case. Could one of the developers chime in on this by chance and give me some insight as to what might be going on?.Blaze600Version: 4.1.0

Lost filesOn an iPhone, I took 6 videos. I brought all of them into my first LumaFusion project. I started the project and moved two of them to the video timeline. The iPhone was too small a platform to work on. Then I downloaded the app to my iPad with older iOS. My iOS was outdated. So then I bought a new iPad, with iOS 11.2.6 and downloaded my data from the cloud. When I downloaded the app to the new iPad, the 2 videos that I had added to the original video timeline when the project was on my iPhone were still in my photo/video folder, but the other videos were no where to be found! They were not on my iPhone nor in the cloud. Believe me, I checked multiple times! I lost hours of video time. I read after that there is the ability to delete material on your account from LumaFusion, but I don’t know how I did. If they were deleted via the app there should be a huge warning explaining what’s happening. I don’t remember doing anything that would have deleted any videos. I hardly did anything, given I could hardly work the app on the iPhone’s small screen. Anyone else seen this behavior? I like the functionality, but at this point, I’ll only use it after I back up my data separately before dragging any files into LF..DebohfVersion: 1.5.4

An Incredible Value, An Incredible ToolI am deeply grateful to LumaTouch for making LumaFusion available without requiring a subscription. That alone makes LumaFusion one of the best values, if not the best value, in the video editor category. That said, Creator Pass is one of the best if not the best subscription value in the video editor category, a subscription I happily use and unreservedly endorse. Keeping in mind that LumaFusion’s target market is the touchscreen market, I’m not aware of a more feature-rich and better supported video editor. And in “better supported” I’m including the app’s constant improvement and development along with the rest of the stellar product support. There’s certainly room for individual preference in video editors, so understandably LumaFusion may not be everyone’s best video editing solution. For me, LumaFusion is both an incredible video editor that supports and encourages my individual creativity and productivity as well as being an incredible if not unbeatable purchase value. Well done, LumaTouch!.Sam GrafVersion: 5.2.2

Great Video Editing App! Just one thing missing...First of all, if you’re someone new to video editing, I gotta say, this app is great and straight forward with many things to explore. For everyone like me, who comes from Adobe After Effects and Premiere Pro this is the best I’ve seen out there similar to those two power houses. Sure, this can’t beat those two, but for the price you get a lot that you get from AE and PR. I make edits as a hobby using AE, of animes, etc. So the one thing I’m used to using and love to do is have key frame transitions. I know that we have them here, but the one thing lacking is graphs. I typically use the graphs to make the transition, for example zoom in, go fast at the point I’d like to zoom in rather than it be at the same speed zooming in the entire transitions, as it does not look fast and keep the beat of the song up. Over all though, great app if you’re not in my place and are just looking for a good overall video editor that does most of everything you want it to do without the through the roof prices of other software out there. Hope this helps anyone who’s looking into this! 👌🏻.MJT Free Time YTVersion: 1.7.7

The best on any platform or levelI just completed two feature films using LumaFusion for video editing. Prior, I used PC-based video editing programs that were complex to learn and use, but most of all were slow to render even on a system made for video editing that cost a ton of money. I started using Fusion for little posts and realized I was editing 4K video on an iPad with the latest M chip and there was no rendering, no proxy view, and I could see the video on an external monitor while editing. It’s intuitive, has all the essentials for color grading and compositing and the cost? It’s insanely low for what you get. I personally wish they would come out with a Pro-level version that had AI masking that tracks objects and people as an example. Programs like daVinci Resolve are powerful but so complex to do the most simple things. I would pay a few hundred for a Fusion that went all-out while keeping the simple, elegant interface and realtime editing. My only complaint is importing files. Like all of the Apple products, the file system is absurdly engineered where you can get at some things, and sometime not get to what you need. The whole “imported” and “linked to” file sourcing on Fusion is far too clunky that before a project I just pull everything into Photos as I don’t want to keep looking for a clip through endless imported or linked folders. That’s my only real complaint, but it’s found on many Mac and iPad apps. Big fan, and I tried letting Luma know I had full feature films out in theaters and on streaming made entirely with Fusion to talk about how it can handle it but I never heard back from them — which is another thing I was disappointed in. When I list the program I used to edit a film in the credits, write to the company and they don’t even write back a courtesy letter? Well, I took them off the credits. Fair play. Rude to not communicate with someone who wished to share how I used their program for others to figure out it’s capable of such productions..ChipmunkNestVersion: 5.2.2

Great app but 1 thing I needI love this App and use it all the time for editing simple videos I record with my iPhone 7 Red. It’s great for tweaking simple things like endings, or cutting parts out, etc. Also useful for more complicated videos when needed. I used pinnacle pro before and loved it and this app certainly improved upon it. The 4K support is awesome but if you have a long video can take time to load and everything will move much slower. A minor detail not applying to my needs very often. One of the stand outs among others is the incredible audio features. I won’t go into detail but it’s pretty extensive and feature full allowing you to adjust even the most minor audio details. In closing and to reference my title , a surprising feature that is lacking is a simple reverb preset. When looking at all of the audio presets offered, not having a reverb seems silly. People are more familiar with Reverb then most other audio terms and is the most useful and easily applied. Having more in depth presets like Bandpass Filter, N-Band EQ, etc is great but I mean come on dude where’s the Reverb. That is all..YouCrazyPugVersion: 1.6.5

Much more than iMovieEasy to use and, only if you want, lots more. This video editor for iPad has all the complexity you might want. It also keeps the simple features simple. That’s the bottom line of this review—once I realized the basic features were easy to use, I abandoned the stock iMovie for iPad. This is a hobbyist’s review. I do no professional video work, but I spend much time on home videos. Apple’s iMovie app is wonderful for most home video editing projects, until more is needed. My first “need”, I thought at the time, was for more visual effects. Those were fun to play with in Luma Fusion, but my real need came later. My spouse and I both took iPhone videos of our child’s marching band. We had differing view points in the stadium—very nice inputs for a final product. Combining them, and keeping both video inputs precisely in sync with the band’s clear sound beats, can be challenging. I succeeded in iMovie, but inserting and removing material ruined the synchronization. The iMovie project was very painful to get right. Some time later, with similar inputs, I used Luma Fusion. It provides genuine multiple video tracks, tied reliably to the base video and soundtrack. All the editing/keeping-sync problems went away. That was my real need for a more sophisticated video editor. And yet, despite all the advanced features, the most common editing remains as easy as iMovie. That’s why I switched to Luma Fusion—easy to use and, only if you want, lots more..The FoogVersion: 3.0.9

My Go-to Editing AppI purchased LumaFusion a number of years ago, and despite the advent of many other iOS video editing apps, it remains my favorite and preferred one. I know DaVinci Resolve and Final Cut Pro apps are powerful and great, but I still prefer the intuitive design of LumaFusion and its ease of use. It’s great for someone starting out in video editing who wants a step up from iMovie or similar apps, but doesn’t want an overly complicated program. I can tackle simple edits with LumaFusion as well as more complex ones. Plus, the app designer - LumaTouch - offers plenty of online (and free) learning resources. The recent updates have only added to LumaFusion’s value, especially since it’s a one-time purchase and not a subscription-based video editing program. If you want or need music, SFX, additional video footage and similar assets, you can subscribe to StoryBlocks which you can easily access through the app itself. I enjoy LumaFusion and highly recommend it..Clifton_danielVersion: 5.1.0

Responsive company, powerful programLuma-Fusion is great and continues to grow in its capabilities. I appreciate that the company listens to it’s users. I have given, and received feedback regarding the capabilities and limitations of the app. I edit on a 2020 iPad Pro 12.9 and on an iPhone 6s Max for professional (Paid) and hobby (family/friends) video. Power in my pocket, power on my desktop, I am very happy with the app. There are many things I would like to see added to bring up to speed with Adobe Premier Pro on a full on desktop, or with Good old AVID, but considering the platform, and the price, this is remarkable for an editor. Update: I have been editing more complicated work for more demanding clients and for my own enjoyment lately. Yes, LumaFusion is fun to use! The tutorials are fantastic and have gotten me out of some jams. I continue to be impressed with LumaFusion’s response to my technical questions when all else fails me. It has happened more than once..Ivan MachizVersion: 2.4.4

Much better performance than iMovieI was honestly satisfied with the feature set of iMovie for my usual videos but not the performance. This app performs way better and even further stabilizes the video over the stabilization of the camera. Lots of options for saving your video so that you can have it optimized for uploading. This program is not intuitive but it's pretty easy to learn, if you sit down a few minutes and read. Seems to lack the ability to change frame rate when exporting a project as a video. But the only thing I need to do that for is Facebook because that works better at 30 FPS, whereas I do everything else at 60. So I found a free compression program that does the job but this does everything else pretty well. Minor glitches when making changes to a specific segment but backing out of it shows that it's just fine in the video, even though the preview is occasionally weird..MayhemReignsTVVersion: 5.3.2

Pay once, use forever!Luma Fusion is worth more than its price tag; it competes well against the likes of Adobe Premiere and Sony Vegas with its simplicity and efficiency. However, it lacks some (most used/ popular) effects that you may find the former having plenty of (both visual and audio). That doesn’t mean that it isn't worth the trouble; the precision, the control, the friendly UI and the overall organized file distribution, you can’t go wrong there. It supports your everyday file formats and it can export your “movie” faster than Sony Vegas Pro, yet when it comes to editing, there are a few bugs (unfixed...?) and minor problems that may be annoying; - audio (only audio, not audio from video) can be off sync, when the file itself is 100% intact (this happens after scrolling forwards in the editing section) - preview may lag if you scroll through the editing fast and do a forceful stop to play a part of the video - it takes quite a bit to wait for the lag to go away - if the preview is played after these previous 2 events occur, the editing won’t scroll with the preview and when paused, will pause off sync to the preview (this is very complicated to explain...) - the audio waveforms (the white spikes that represent audio) aren’t precise; editing may be a bit difficult since it can be hard to do an exact cut + the audio being off sync Hope these issues get dealt with as soon as the devs read this. Thank you anyway!.TussalDragon344Version: 1.6.7

Just a DIY Musician trying to put picture to the music.To preface this, I just want to say I am no pro video editor. My strength lies in music, and as someone just looking for some pro quality functionality that allows me to do more than iMovie without lopping a hand off at the wrist for a big budget video editing software, LumaFusion checks all the boxes for me. I can choose aspect ratios, rearrange clips and stack them, choose the duration of audio and video, photos, GIFs, what have you. Importing is immensely simple. Every file I have tried to import always has a “share to LumaFusion” button. Easy to understand, and let’s not mention the included tutorial videos and PDF which is masterfully explained. Perhaps my amateur nature at this field of media is what allows me to see no flaws in this software- I’ll leave that level of critique to the pros. But for this musician- 10/10. Bravo. Exactly what I was looking for..MattguitarVersion: 3.0.9

Great program. Offensive customer support.I’m a full time videographer who mostly uses FCPX but purchased Lumafusion for simple edits on the go. I emailed customer support asking if FCPX project compatibility will be available in the near future. Their customer service responded quickly with a nice and professional email saying yes it will be a feature available soon but will be an additional $20 fee and will not be covered under the standard free updates. I was disappointed that they chose to make this a paywall locked feature instead of including it in their software update but they’re allowed to do that. I just responded explaining I purchased this software under the impression these features will be included so unfortunately I won’t be purchasing this $20 update for my own personal use. They told me $20 is fine if I have “quite a bit of money” invested into my video editing capability. So I guess this software is only for professionals with “quite a bit of money”...Jon RatzlaffVersion: 2.2.0

Finally not a toy but not impossible to learnSo many video apps are too simplistic for anything but very, very, basic work. I guess they’re designed for quick, spontaneous social media posts. Not Luma Fusion. This app is not Adobe Premier, but maybe that’s a good thing. Premier on the desktop is powerful, but the learning curve is a nightmare. But thats Premier on the desktop app. Let’s compare iPad apps: Luma is far more powerful than any of the multiple video apps Adobe has released for iOS. if you need to do real work, use Luma and skip Adobe’s efforts until further notice. The learning curve for Luma is not quite as brain dead simple as Movavi or other apps, but it’s not that hard to ramp up on and does so much more. The best reward is once you stick with it a bit, it turns out the workflow is very efficient and the investment pays off. Technically speaking, it’s amazing what they’ve achieved on a tablet. I’ve developed high end video software ala Avid as well as iOS apps. Let me tell you, I shudder to think of the engineering effort this team had to put in and how many challenges they must have overcome. This type of software is not easy to write on powerful workstations, and just gets harder on iOS. It’s easily worth $50. Too bad App Store economics don’t allow them to charge that, but at least you get a screaming deal and don’t have to think twice about whether or not this purchase it worth it if you need to do more than apply a cheesy filter and post to Instagram (although it can do that quite easily as well if you like)..No real FunctionaltyVersion: 2.1.1

Exceptional App, Functionality, Documentation & SupportThis app does so much, and for a much lower price than one would expect (especially in comparison to other products). Great reference guide & videos for learning. You’ll definitely want to absorb some of that guidance before trying a project, or you won’t know what to do, looking at the screen. But once you read or watch the basic parts, it makes perfect sense. It also helps that within any of the screens, you can press on the settings and/or “?” icon, and it will label all the items/functions showing on the screen. Also, it’s easy to get to the Reference Guide via the Settings button. I’m so impressed by the support; really knowledgable and helpful people, often going above and beyond (and giving very comprehensive answers, and never making you feel dumb). I love that I can purchase this app for a one-time price, without a subscription, and with almost everything included. (There are some options for in-app purchases, but I think that’s just for 3rd party stuff.) I’ve only had this for a short time, and my experience with creating and editing films is limited, yet I was able to create, edit & export a project even before I thought I’d put in enough study to pull it off. (It was easy to refer to the Reference Guide as needed.) I highly recommend!!.MikeyboardsVersion: 2.2.3

Solid editing appI’ve been using this video editing app for about a year now and have been very happy with it! I purchased and use at least three other apps before using this one and definitely think it was worth the money. There were a couple of times where I had some issues with the app but it was with some complicated files and I contacted the developer and they help walk me through the issues. I really hope that they add a couple of features in the future additions. The two I would like to see first would be a stabilization effect and a chromakey effect. It does take a little while to learn how to use this app so don’t think you can buy it and then just magically be able to edit videos. Take the time to learn how to use it and the workflow and that time spent will be well invested. There are a few instances while using the app that you might feel like you’re stuck on a screen. You just don’t know where to click to get back to where you were. In those situations it seems like you need to just click on whatever text is on the screen and then you’ll maybe end up where you want to be. I’d like to finish this review was saying that that iMovie mobile is the worst video app I used of all the ones I tried. Also, I’d recommend getting a phone gimbal and a wide angle lens for shooting your videos on your phone. I hope this helps. Aloha!.GeezaluisVersion: 1.5.3

Excellent Program - Keep Going!I have been doing videography and video editing for over 35 years and postproduction work is a significant part of any project. This app is truly awesome using with the new iPad Pro 2020. I use it exclusively for Livestream posts that need some tweaking and for non-intensive graphics projects However, I haven’t used it for that long but it does have some significant higher end capabilities. I hate giving away trade secrets on programs I use but this is a game changer for any producers using the latest iPad Pro 2020. There are still a lot of creative capabilities that I haven’t even had to use at this point. I have tried and used multiple other iOS video editing software. There are a couple that I use for certain capabilitiesAnd then I’ll import that segment into this app. So far, I have not found any other that will fill 80% of my needs like LumaFusion..Jpm6078Version: 2.2.3

Add Color Curves and MaskingColor Grading: I the fact that this app is very versatile. However i feel like i spent $20 on an app that does that same stuff iMovie does. If i’m editing on a plane and i don’t have my Mac, it’s annoying not to be able to properly color grade things. It will either have too much contrast or there’s just no way to get a Horror movie Color grade without it being too dark. Masking Tools: It is so annoying when i cannot Mask out shapes of people. i can only crop the video and not cut around the actor frame by frame. If i could do this; i could film this such as wire removal. It would make my job a lot easier. I love this app, but it’s hard to edit complicated projects without getting frustrated. If i don’t have my computer, i cannot do anything else but leave it the way it is. Add 3D Layers: If you can somehow put in 3D layers, i love you. Having 3D layers and Masking would make it more like After Effects..Ethan CheatwoodVersion: 2.0.1

Please consider this appThis app is very clearly a work of great passion. It’s so feature rich and just all around such a useful piece of kit. But working well and having features is the bar to entry and many other apps do video editing well. I will always recommend this app to anyone I know looking for one reason only, the pricing model. No one is happy to pay more subscriptions. There are too many and subscription fatigue is real. I feel the Luma team has struck the right balance in the way they are pricing the app. More features are great and developers need to be compensated. I am happy to support the app on my terms and value proposition to me. Adding new features as in app purchases is fantastic. I can decide if my workflow benefits and make the purchase. I also think this creates incentive to keep pushing the app forward vs resting on laurels. I buy all the in app purchases just to support your model, because I want to see it succeed. If it went the other way, and there was a subscription, well I’d have to compare you to all the other subscription services, and to be clear the distinction and unique value add rapidly evaporate at that point. I’m glad Luma is here, and is a positive force in the Apple, marketplace and creator ecosystem and will enthusiastically advocate for them among my peers solely on the premise of no subscriptions..JPey2Version: 4.1.1

Switched over from Final Cut ProMost of my work is doing rough cut editing from short films to fashion events. I have managed to do everything I can do in Final Cut with Lumafusion having only one exception, the ability to have overlays or screening clips with clips on one another. Specifically for transitions. But other than that it’s perfection. I can run it directly from my iPhone and mirror it to my appleTV and work remotely from anywhere around the world from my phone. All of my files can be easily viewed and imported from Google drive. When I’m finished with the edit I can archive it with the entire clips or just the edits directly back into google drive. Using this app/program has entirely changed my workflow and has made working feel more like a video game over actual work effectively changing how I see my art. I am ready to work anywhere from my phone without having to lug around a laptop or tablet everywhere..BrillvinnieVersion: 2.0.4

So many bugs.Why continue to add new features when old features are not fully developed. I continue to attempt to edit voice on here and constantly it will skip back to an edit once another one is made. So essentially every time I cut a clip it jumps back to the same place for absolutely no reason. If you want to use a plug-in then it automatically removes any panning you may have done and can entirely silence the audio. The GUI for an iPhone has made landscape mode almost unviewable if held in portrait mode. It defaults to an iPhone specific aspect ratio but I can’t make my own default so I have to switch it every single time. Transitions have never been updated since day one even when their whole selection of effects could be made into stock and standard transitions. The High Pass filter only reduces by about 50% of what it states when compared to PC based DAWs. I want to love this APP and keep using it but it is becoming very challenges to find reasons to use it first anymore..DrundaxVersion: 3.0.4

Best Mobile Video EditorLumaFusion goes beyond any other Mobile video app I have either used or heard of. I think what makes this app better than other mobile video editors, is its ability to give the user so much creativity with little restrictions. I love the key-framing ability and even though the masking is limited to a rectangle/square, the app still allows you to use your creativity and get around that limitation. Although I do suggest working on a masking tool to make LumaFusion even better. Lastly a camera movement tracker would be awesome, I think if the app had a masking tool, and a camera movement/object tracker, the app would be complete and dominate over all mobile video editors for A Long Long Time. As a programmer though I understand that creating such things takes time and is not easy, so for now, LumaFusion is and remains the best. —-“motion tracker would be great”..Hobes312Version: 2.4.4

THESE DEVELOPERS ARE GODS!Short and sweet: this is the best video editing app out there, end of story. Basically mini Final Cut Pro but on the go. I never knew my iPhone 7 had so much processing power!!! Best $20 ever spent! Cheers to developers like this who are in tune with their base and work relentlessly to keep improving an already amazing app! UPDATE: Still the best app I have ever owned and the only one I have written a review for. I have it now on my iPad Pro and boy oh boy does it FLY through 160mbps footage! More than half of my projects are on Luma now instead of FCPX. I have recommended this app to dozens of friends who all love it. IT JUST WORKS. I would love to meet the developers because they just NAILED it!! I would pay easily $100 for this app. UPDATE 2: version 2.3 just dropped and oh my is LF better than ever now, I feel wrong having only paid $20 for it 2 years ago because it adds so much value to my workflow. Get this app..Okay OakTreeVersion: 2.3.2

It’s closeLumaFusion is by far the best video editing app for a mobile platform. There is a learning curve when coming from PC but if you have basic video editing skills it shouldn't take too long to figure out. I edit video as a hobby and make zero money doing it. My Apple computer is too old to edit 4K video so I was looking for a less expensive solution for editing video from my new DJI phantom 4 pro. After playing with lumafusion on my iPad I decided I would upgrade to an 12.9” iPad Pro and just use lumafusion to edit video. Overall I’ve been happy with it but there are a few extended options I wish they would implement, mainly more in-depth speed controls. Right now you can’t key frame your speed edits to ramp speed over several frames you can only jump from one speed to another which sometimes works but often doesn’t give the desired results. Also, you can only multiply the speed by 6 which is no where near fast enough. Compare that to something like premiere which you can multiply speed by 1000 and you see how there are several limitations in this software. Key framing is another area I could stand to see some improvements in. It works, but it just leaves something to be desired and I think could be greatly improved. Overall Lumafusion suits my needs as a hobbyist and is actually very impressive for video editing on a mobile device. I would say it has about 85% of the features I used on premiere and blows premiere out of the water when it comes to rendering speed on a 3 year old iMac. I hope they continue to improve their product!.LwblackstoneVersion: 1.6.6

Edited for 9+ years!I’ve used LumaFusion on my iPad and iPhone for YEARS! I remember the days where there were two apps Luma Touch & Luma Fusion. I was so excited when it all got combined into LumaFusion and I could have the same editing power on my iPhone as my iPad! Thank you for providing the tools to unleash my creativity and make hundreds of perfect videos. Sure there have been bugs here and there, but I feel like they are squished quickly. Plus many new features! I’ve always called LumaFusion the “premier pro for iOS” because I feel like I have pro level computer software capabilities from an app on my iPad! It’s so cool! Also MASSIVE thank you to the developers and big wigs at Luma Touch LLC for recognizing us long time users and honoring the one time purchase and not forcing a subscription on your OG base. I have a lot of respect for you guys on that one 🙏🤝.TuxquadoguyVersion: 5.2.1

The only useful video editing app I’m aware ofThere are a lot of video editing apps on iOS, but this is the only one that actually allows me to produce a complex, polished product from start to finish on just my iPad Pro. In recent times it’s performance has really improved, and as I’ve grown along with the app I’ve learned ways to avoid technical problems that prevented me from exporting projects in the past. I think this app is more reliable than ever, and it was always reliable enough in the past. If you do professional video and have an iPad Pro then lumafusion is a must have app. Indeed, because of both Luma fusion and procreate, I consider the iPad Pro a must have tool for creators. These two programs in conjunction are simply immensely powerful. Also, Luma fusion technical support is outstanding....they aware of all potential issues and will help you work through them systematically..Jksoren82Version: 2.2.3

Finally, a pro video editor for the iPad!I was a Pinnacle Pro user who was always disappointed by it’s limitations. I’m happy to say that LumaFusion makes up for every Pinnacle Pro deficiency. The ability to have 3 video and audio tracks is HUGE and the level of control you can natively exert to both he video and audio is impressive. The key-framing capabilities are particularly useful and something lacking in most iOS video editing programs. The StoryBlocks integration is another killer feature. The free offerings are more than enough for most, but I’m a subscriber and their prices are low, so this is icing on the cake. I’ve completed a personal and professional project so far on my 12.9” iPad Pro (original) and haven’t experienced any slow-down whatsoever. I’m a pretty demanding user, being accustomed to Premiere Pro and Avid, but this is a legit professional mobile video editing suite. Well done, Luma Touch..PhillyTGVersion: 1.7

Not a ProfessionalI thought it was important to make sure people know up front that I’m not a professional video editor, in fact, I just today had the need to learn the basics of this skill set. I know LumaFusion has a reputation for being a good product for video editing on the iPad. I’ve seen the video and I’ve wanted to get the app since shortly after I got my iPad Pro a few months ago. Long story short, I wanted to save some money and try what I already had. I started with Adobe Premiere Rush. I simply wanted to take a single video and clip out a series of spots in the video and Adobe just threw up at the end and locked up spinning. I tried to edit a single video which was less than two minutes and I couldn’t get to the end without the iPad locking up. OK, what else do I have? I tried the same thing with iMovie. I was able to edit the video and make it to the export only to find that there was literally no options for exporting. It was MOV or the highway and the project I’m working on requires MP4. I broke down and purchased LumaFusion and from the onset it did everything I need and it was smooth. No lockups, no confusing tools, and export options for days. This really came in handy because not only did I need MP4 format, but I needed my final file to be less than 50mb in size. I was able to tweak the export and get my file under my size limit and with an acceptable resolution. So, bottom line, there is nothing technical in my review just that I tried three products to edit video and this one was by far the best. Take that for what it’s worth. This is the tool I’m going to be using to learn video editing, hands down. Bring on the tutorials!!!!!!.BirchlegVersion: 2.2.1

So-SoThis app is great however I have noticed some strange glitches. Like when I edit a clip on the timeline it shows part of the clip still there, even though its not. And all of my video in the preview window is either upside down or sideways and cropped weird but is normal when I bring it down to the timeline... which makes it hard to edit. I also feel like the controls are not very intuitive (can’t copy and paste clips to duplicate or command+c anything really). It took me a while to figure out how to copy attributes between clips (have to hit the clip button at the bottom which was a bit confusing) And hitting delete when a clip is selected on the timeline doesn’t do anything.... you have to touch the trash can. Although I like that I can still use I, O and W. But as far as editing on the iPad goes, its pretty robust. Way more features than iMovie or any other editing app I’ve tried. It’s a pretty decent way to edit on the iPad. Hoping for an update to fix the glitches though!.Highwaychic49Version: 1.7.6

Kind of, sort of, almost, but not quite....This is an excellent video editing application. It is extremely easy to use. I had it figured with VERY little tutorial. Granted, I came into it as an immensely knowledgeable intermediate, but I believe that a novice could do close to expert work with this application. HOWEVER, what This program has in capability, it lacks in variety. It has tools that are very intuitive and easy to understand but limited in its selection. For example, it’s easy to find transitions, but there aren’t very many. It’s a good thing that there are other applications capable of creating LUT’s because there aren’t many. Now, there ARE a lot of fonts. But there are not a lot of effect selections. It’s like it’s kind of good, sort of good, almost good, but not quite good. My name is Rush Little III, and I approve this message..RPJ KingdomVersion: 2.2.3

The more I use this the more I like it!Like the title says, I keep liking this more and more. Previously I had been using iMovie on a 2 core Mac Mini which worked fine until it was time to “compile” the movie. It takes about 40 minutes to “compile” a 7ish minute movie on that thing. The other drawback was that It wasn’t very mobile. With an iPad, Luma Fusion, and a little learning I can almost unbelievably do the same tasks that I could on the Mac just about anywhere. I feel that this is a much better setup overall and the app is only $20 which I don’t think is enough, but they have an in app purchase of $10 a month or (I think) $70 a year for royalty free music, backgrounds, stock footage and some other stuff that seems well worth the price, especially when you consider the convenience of it being right there in the app..Mendo DaveVersion: 1.7.7

Great Editor, and InfuriatingI bought this app because of the incredible potential, and because for editing it’s amazing compared to other phone video editors. But it has some infuriating, and needlessly complicating things that make no sense. Why is it so incredibly difficult to delete files? It takes up half the space on my phone, and no matter what I delete, what projects I clear, even using the “clean up” tool, it keeps taking up the same dozens of gigs. I have to spend hours on forums (which I shouldn’t have to do for something that should be so simple), and everyone else seems to be as confused as me. People give suggestions that don’t work. There is no reason at all why this hasn’t been fixed, or why it is so complicated. For me, I’ve been using this app for a couple months now, pretty much every day, and still the only way to clear the space is to totally delete the app and re-download it. If they fixed this, it would be awesome!.AlaninPanaVersion: 2.0.2

Luma FusionGreat program. Very capable. My primary use is to be able to do that first cut while I'm still in the field and the project is fresh in my mind. The program allows me to rough out a draft before moving it to my main computer and software for finishing. With this product I have a high quality production and post-production studio in a bag. I would recommend a couple of changes for the export. For the dialogue box that indicates the project is being written, I would have the name of the project there instead of just the files being processed. And I would also move up the step as to where the project is being saved so as to ensure it is going to the desired location before clicking the icon that starts the packaging process. Other than that, I'm very satisfied with the program..KevDixVersion: 2.2.3

Always improving, great editing app.I bought LumaFusion a year ago.. I used it on my basic iPad. I loved the software, but the lightning port was making the transfer of video files really impractical. I got the latest iPad mini with usb c port. Now LumaFusion works as it should. If you are familiar with Final Cut Pro, this works in a similar way. Actually I like better how LumaFusion can paste adjustments on multiple clips at once, replacing the prior corrections, unlike FCPX. I can send edits to Final Cut, as an xml file, with the media (it is a paid additional feature). So far so good. The iPad mini is very portable and fast. The screen is a bit small, I wish the fonts in LumaFusion were a bit larger. Now I can edit also with media stored directly on an external SSD. I wish LumaFusion had better file management, like revealing in which folders a clip on the timeline resides. There are sometimes some issues with compatibility of an exported video to a folder when uploaded on instagram. But if I export to Apple Photos app, and then to instagram, it works fine. Apple Files app does not show the file extension, so it may be a bit of a hassle to tell the video from the photo files when selecting what to import. In any case, great software..StefpixVersion: 3.0.10

Almost PerfectIf iMovie hadn’t been dumbed down for smartphones, I would never have had a reason to search for this app. It is expensive as far as apps, but as the best video editor, fully featured and fast, it’s worth it. I deleted iMovie and see no reason to ever go back. From multi-track, nonlinear editing of video layers and audio layers independently, to easy animation of every video parameter similar to Adobe Premiere, the fact this app does all that with my 4K 150mbps H265 video on my iPhone 7+ without blinking blows my mind. The interface could be more streamlined and intuitive. You will need to watch their tutorials. In doing so, though, the phenomenal power of this editor will be obvious. Compared to other creative video apps that only work with one layer and charge you ridiculous subscription prices, this app is far superior and far cheaper..CeyveronVersion: 2.1.1

I can’t wait until they work out the export bug.I created a four minute explainer video with multiple clips in three video tracks. The clips included video from my DSLR, some still pictures with key frame panning, some screen capture recording, and a transparent png overlay with our clinic logo. I also did some color correction to make my white shirt a true white while I was also able to maintain a pleasing warm skin tone. This would not have been possible with iMovie. The problem I had was when I tried to export the rendered video. The render would crash 33% of the way through until I had to delete clips and replace them with multiple renders in a time-wasting process of trial and error. It ultimately came down to one of my screen grab videos that I applied a speed change to, to slow it down. I unapplied the speed change, and it still crashed. I deleted the short clip, and it finally worked. Ultimately I’m upset that I had to spend so much time troubleshooting the bug, and I had to compromise my creative vision with the end product by deleting the clip. I’m not completely upset. I come from an era of using Sony Vegas, where you had a lot of flexibility, but it crashed all the time. I have more faith in the Luma developers to get things fixed..LloydChiroVersion: 1.5.4

Export IssuesI’ve been using LumaFusion for about a year on both the IPad Pro 2nd Gen 512 GB & IPad Pro 3rd Gen 1TB. While the speed, portability and ease of use of the IPad Pro and LumaFusion combo makes for an attractive alternative to my laptop and Adobe software, there are real issues with the reliability of the export function. As long as I am exporting videos shorter than 5m things generally go smoothly whether it’s 1080 or 4K. BUT if I’m attempting something with a longer run time it’s a real crap shoot. I’ve consulted with LumaFusion support and followed their advice but to no avail. Generally once I encounter an export issue I’m forced to delete the project and/or app and start over......... Obviously this is a HUGE issue. If you are producing short clips I recommend LumaFusion for its speed and ease of use. If you intend to produce longer projects then you risk loosing your work..DurantWVolVersion: 1.7.6

A really great tool! Add-ons are too priceyAs much as I love Luma Fusion, $25 for speed ramping and another $25 for FCP export is a little steep! I’m ok with paying for advanced features, but please, bring it down a bit. Somewhere around $12.99 for new features would be a little more palatable. -1 star. That said, it really is a great video editing app, the best on the App Store by far, and honestly amazing to do this on a mobile device!

LumaFusion Negative Reviews

Good APP w/ BAD updatesThe newest update completely made the app unusable I upload videos into the timeline and the preview will only work for about 3 seconds until it just absolutely freezes I had to buy and learn additional software to be able to finish my video I tried every work around I could. For context This Video editing "app" has been my main editor for 6 years now, before Luma Fusion I even used their previous software Pinnacle Studio. Now I really do enjoy this software bringing computer grade editing onto the iphone/ipad basically. Making it an all in one, but I do expect a $30 app with $100 dollars in addons and a monthly subscription to be high quality given the average ios App is .99¢ or free. My main gripe is there aren't many bug fixes, only major updates, and by major updates I mean updates that add major bugs with some minor new features, and also remove other features I've grown accustom to. Which makes me have to relearn a portion of the software. Also the bugs make somethings impossible without learning work arounds for them. Sometimes I feel the developers don't actually have testers to give feedback. or maybe not enough devices to try the software on I know the new ios came out but most other developers dont have these issues and the Developer Betas have been out for months yet they wait around until the update bricks the software and the wait additional weeks or moths to fix it I’ve had the exact same issue before and they neglected it for so long..LilSpuffyVersion: 5.3.2

Perfect but criminal charging extra for speed rampingI’ve used this app for years and they FINALLY added speed ramping, which people have been requesting forever, and is standard with any other video editing software (especially one like LumaFusion that markets itself as a professional mobile video editing platform). However, rather than including it with the new update (as they should because it’s a standard tool that should have been implemented from the beginning), they made it an add on for $20. Which is so disappointing and such a shisty move given the fact every other fundamental pro editing tool is included (including audio plugins and color correction tools). Coming from DaVinci Resolve as my PC editing platform, LumaFusion really is the perfect balance between having the basic pro tools you get/need when editing on a robust professional platform like DaVinci Resolve, Adobe Premiere, or Final Cut, but simple enough for making high quality edits on the fly edits with a phone or iPad. I empathize with the need to charge add-ons for unique features creative features outside the fundamental features one would expect to be included in pro/semi-pro video editing software, but speed ramping is not one of those features, and you should be ashamed of yourselves for charging extra for that. If you were to reimburse every person for the speed ramp up-charge and make that an included feature, you’d be deserving of 5 stars… But as it stands, 1 star on the basis of that greedy shistiness….NottonamenamesVersion: 5.0.0

Audio syncing issues, WD Passport support is unusableI've used LumaFusion for about 5 months as my editing app of choice and have generally been ok with the intricacies, but while editing my latest video I found the straw that broke this camel's back (pun intended...read on). While overall things work well enough to get a decent edit done, when I went back to start adding music I found that every time I hit play the music starts from a different point in the song. As such it's impossible to edit to the beat when the beat changes every time, and from what I'm reading I'm not the only one who is experiencing this issue. Another different, non-deal breaker, yet still super annoying issue is the WD Passport support, or should I say lack thereof. While they advertise that you can edit directly from the drive and it'll only download the necessary footage, in practice the connection is so slow that its completely unuable. Not sure if this is an issue with the drive or LumaFusion. As such I've resorted back to just copying footage from the drive to a PNY lightning/USB flash drive then copying from there to my iPad. It's time consuming but it works and once the footage is on the iPad I can edit like normal without waiting for it to buffer. In the end I'm giving up on trying to travel light and still get edits done on the road and will be packing my laptop from now on so I can use a real video editor and save my sanity at the expense of my back. Bon Voyage..UATWVersion: 1.6.7

Glitch Ruined Hours of WorkThis is a well designed app, and may deserve 5 stars in the future. However I have been experiencing multiple media issues and errors. For example it may say “missing media, reimport the file”. The file is indeed there, playable, workable, but upon exporting an error is experienced. Optimize and consolidate does not always fix it. I can not simply re-edit this one media file, as I have spent hours on it. For the media to work in the project and then suddenly not upon export is infuriating. Is it corrupt or not? If so, perhaps let me know before I spend 6 hours working with a playable media file that is not “missing”, and very much so exists on the app. And I’m not about to upload 8 gigs to my photos every 10 minutes just to see if something magically became corrupted. I’ve dealt with it multiple times beforehand, but I just lost too much work to be content with this app currently. Update: even after deleting the media file and reimporting it upon export I got the same error. Please let me know how to fix so I can continue to use this app. Until then I’ll use something else that works. Update: why can’t I delete a folder??? I have too many files to delete individually and optimizing reimported them all. Please help..Alibaba0880Version: 1.7.3

Used to be Great, until Version 3 Came OutI used to love Lumafusion. It was powerful enough that I could make really pro-level videos (sometimes up to 40 minutes long) without any problem. Then version 3 came out last year, and the app has been a buggy, unstable mess ever since then. It can barely handle small videos with constant lagging inputs, visual bugs, and occasional crashes. It’s an awful experience, and considering it worked great prior to this I don’t fully understand what this update was supposed to achieve or why the app is still, one year later, barely functional. The last straw for me came minutes ago, when I tried to load up a video I’d been working on for a couple of months and the app bricked my iPad. Like, completely killed it. I can’t even shut my iPad down to reset it. It’s stuck on the Lumafusion load screen, completely unresponsive. Considering my iPad worked completely fine ten minutes ago, I’m assuming it’s this godforsaken app. I would give this review for the iPad version of the app, but I can’t because this app is crashing so badly that I literally can’t use it..Y2KbotzVersion: 3.1.0

Save your $Every day and every time I use this app, there seems to be some sort of an issue. Many issues that I run into, others seem to be running into, as well. The reliability of this app is atrocious. I am a professional editor who knows his stuff, has the latest iPad Pro with the latest iOS, etc, etc... today’s issue was newly downloaded files (from a GoPro 7 and an iPhone) onto not only the iPad but also via Dropbox. Not one of the files will appear on either of the mentioned. I exited the app, reopened, no dice. I tried restarting the iPad, also to no avail. I am just completely fed up with this garbage app that’s disguised as something great. It could be something amazing, I wish it was something amazing— It was the very reason I bought the latest and greatest iPad Pro. But I couldn’t be more disappointed and I think I am completely done. When I open up an editor, I should be able to seamlessly do my job to get the job done. I shouldn’t have to try to figure out what the problem is every single time I use the app. I shouldn’t have to troubleshoot with support groups or phone calls to the developers. I shouldn’t have to get agitated every time I use this app because something goes wrong and more of my time is completely wasted. I’m sorry but I’m not going to sugarcoat how I feel. You want people to forget things like Premiere and FCP? Well then, you have a long road a ahead of you. There’s a reason those programs are priced accordingly— because they’re proven and powerful tools that WORK. I guess you get what you pay for. I am done. Thanks for wasting my twenty bucks. UPDATE: This app is STILL a piece of garbage. I’ve sacrificed ease of use for quality for years, now. And I’m finally DONE. To the people at LF: it was a noble effort but you have FAILED miserably. Call it a day and close shop..Mjd6791Version: 5.2.2

Not worth 30 dollars in any regardI bought this app as it was recommended for editing large files via a mobile device, I shoot 10-bit 4:2:2 4K and want to preserve that quality. I appreciate that this app gives you a lot more flexibility (especially with pro-res 444), and ability to maintain your videos original quality, I can’t find any similar mobile phone editing software that does the same. As well the ability to individually adjust the EQ for audio is nice. However that is the only redeeming quality. The UI is not intuitive, or easy to use. You can’t adjust curves such other free apps allow you to do, the color grading is far too basic for a $30 price tag. It defeats the purpose of purchasing this app for the import and export flexibility as I have to export my content into another app that does not allow me to preserve the video quality, such renders this app to be completely useless. I could have just cut out the middle man and uploaded my raw footage into another app like premier that will just compress my video, the same way it will if I upload the content into premier from Luma fusion..WolferdakingVersion: 5.4.3

Black screen showing on exported videosUnfortunately, there’s more to criticize of course, like slowing, glitching, or crashing when using any speed increase/decrease settings, scenes glitching out in the project itself, or audio filters not working after exporting vids. However, my biggest issue would be with the random darkness that appears on exported videos. I assemble a lot of images sometimes, and some vids get lengthy. The longer the video and the more images and effects, the more likely I get this random blackness showing up. It’s like the images just dissapear momentarily, ranging from a literal split second to several, and I can’t find a fix, just annoying workarounds. It’s VERY frustrating and time-consuming to re-observe a 3-9 minute video 6 times to spot these blacked out moments. It used to not do this at all. I’d like to keep using LumaFusion and even wanted to purchase some of it’s features. But I cannot justify spending more money on an app that just frustrates me anymore..DBL MPVersion: 5.4.2

So you’re telling me… to unlock the full app that i already paid $40 for, i need 3 other 1 time purchases of $25 each and a subscription of $12 a month for basic things like full key framing and SPEED RAMPING? Ive only come across one editor EVER that had speed ramping behind a paywall, and that was a bad free app. Super disappointed and feel scammed cause to use this app effectively im basically being forced to pay $12 a month after i bought the app. At least remove full key framing and speed ramping from this awful subscription as these are basic features at this point..MikdriverVersion: 5.2.2

Doesn’t work at all way to hard to understandThis app is so over priced and doesn’t have anything at all that’s worth 40$ this is ridiculous.Memdkjf fksifnfkVersion: 3.0.5

UnintuitiveI’ve been doing light editing for years with apps like Premiere and Final Cut Pro. After reading some positive reviews I thought I’d give Luma Fusion a try so I could do some editing on the fly with the iPad. Boy, what a mistake. After a few hours of exploring the program I closed the app and deleted it. It’s just not worth the frustration. If you’ve edited before with pro apps like Premiere you’ll likely find the interface for this app impossible to navigate. Save your money..Slowdive101Version: 2.4.3

I can't work properlyEvery time, I add more video to my creation, lumafusion stops working and I always to optimize and consolidate it every time I add a video of (No matter the size of that video, it can be 30 sec or 1 min) and it will bugg and stop working. I can't get in the flow of the creation. I'm trying to create my vlog but with lumafusion, I can't get anything done.. It just disapointing because I paid for this apps, I think I will choose monthly paid and go with Premiere Pro and hope I can get my work done and publish my creation on Youtube.RunnerAmeiVersion: 3.2.3

Вылетает и не интуитивноПриложение постоянно вылетает, когда вставляется обычное видео, оно не воспроизводится, невозможно понять причину, нет обучения на русском языке. И это знаменитое профессиональное приложение? Как в нем можно хоть что-то сделать? Как сохранять видео элементарно в медиатеку? Непонятно.MaksSamaraVersion: 2.4.4

Crashing - help!I’ve been using luma for a while now and it’s great. I don’t know if this is a new bug but the app gets incredible buggy when I try to edit a close to 2 hr video with two audio tracks (nothing else), the app crashes, won’t play my timeline (the play button is dark grey and literally wont work when I touch it), and is incredibly glitchy when working on this larger scale product. Every time I open the app, it takes like 10 minutes to go into my chosen video, and buttons and timelines scrubbing becomes generally unresponsive. I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app, losing all my progress, and nothing changes. I’m using the iPad Pro 2018 which has incredible performance so I’m not sure why this is happening..XadenXadenVersion: 2.2.3

TrashNot a user friendly editing app! Color grading page is nowhere to find! Waster my money...King515252Version: 5.4.4

IPad good Mac badMac version Is buggy and doesn’t have compound clipping. I just want it to be a simple editor.Jub936Version: 5.4.3

Unable to exportEditing part is fine, the issue is exporting. It means nothing no matter how well the app is built if your content cannot be exported. Have been working on a project for two days, but I have not been able to export it on my iPad Pro. It always crashes at the last bit when it’s writing the video. Super frustrating. Also saw several other comments on this same issue. Can’t believe there is still no fix. For a premium price?.A Geegle userVersion: 5.3.2

Audio is horribleEvery time they managed to fix audio bugs, they come back stronger. Last version was outstanding, now I have audio problems when my project is over 10 mins. Is impossible to keep track of the audio quality when half of your project is silent because of the bugs. This is a recurrent problem. Very disappointed.Alfonso/117Version: 5.3.2

Loss of featuresI payed for the app before it became a subscription service. The fact that I no longer have multiple previously accessible features is sickening and has ruined for me an app I once loved. Seriously disgusting..Gabe WagnerVersion: 5.2.2

Lagging?I’ve had this app for 4 years now and used it to make hundreds of videos. All the sudden everything is lagging uploading videos takes hours for same style and type of video that would take 10 minutes 6 months ago. I have no idea what is going on..T_ReviewVersion: 5.2.2

App doesn’t workSo worked great on year one of my new device, since the new iOS update last year it never works properly ever on none of my 4 devices, iPad iPhone none garbage, used to love it not I can never depend on it it’s sad it’s been giving me issues for one full year after countless updates also discounted.S Dot DollaVersion: 5.1.5

Flys out10.12.2024 iPhone 14 Pro (iOS 17.7.2) The application crashes at startup, restarting the phone does not help, reinstalling too.In general, it doesn't start from the word at all. Please fix this problem.хоршое приложениеVersion: 5.1.1

Family sharingI paid for this app because it says it supports family sharing, but it does not let me family share. Now I just want a refund..UtfkefbjVersion: 5.1.1

USE to be GoodFor some reason the new 5.0 lumafusion is so glitchy. The audio upgrades are great but I find I have to render projects like 15 times and keep fiddling around to make glitches in audio and video to go away. It’s frustrating as all hell. It use to be seamless.JeffreyyGVersion: 5.1.0

Problem Exporting Movie Need HelpI having serious problem writing movie after finishing can’t export film really frustrating projects keep backing up don’t know what to do.Chef Young VlogsVersion: 5.0.4

Video quality👎🏼I like everything about lumafusion except its video quality, every time I add a video in project it gets little blurry but in apple imovies video quality remain same and its free..Charanjit singh 👍🏼Version: 5.0.4

RuinedHad it simple easy to use, best software for mobile editing now your charging 30$ for a service that used to be free along with charging for other random things inside the app??.MylesproVersion: 5.0.3

Paid for a "premium" app, have to pay to get features available in free appsI can understand multicam, but having speed ramping locked behind a paid upgrade (at the price of the full app no less) when it has been available for a long time and for free in multiple other apps is just insulting. To get caught in this ecosystem, there are much better a feature complete alternatives for free on iPad..CedriclmVersion: 5.0.0
