Who it's for

Mobile-first video creators, journalists, and professional editors who need broadcast-capable, multi-track editing on iPhone, iPad, Android, Mac, or Chromebook without a desktop.

What you get

A track-based (not just clip-based) timeline supporting multiple video and audio tracks, with color correction and grading, keyframed effects, titling, transitions, and audio mixing/ducking tools. It supports professional formats and frame rates up to 4K, and integrates with services like Frame.io, Dropbox, and Storyblocks for asset and review workflows. Projects can move between LumaFusion on different supported devices.

How it works

Import footage from the camera roll, cloud storage, or connected drives, then arrange and trim clips across multiple tracks on the timeline. Apply color correction, titles, transitions, and audio adjustments, then export or share directly from the device.
