If you’re interested in video editing, for whatever reason, but you’re an Android user, you’ve probably looked askance at those with an iPad or iPhone. The reason for this is that yes, on Android there are some great apps to edit videos, but none of them are an editor like the one found on the desktop versions. Until today, since Luma Fusion is coming to Android and Chrome OS.
The news surely sounds familiar to you, because with the launch of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S8, Luma Touch promised that it would bring the editor to Android. Months passed and it didn’t arrive, but in November last year a beta landed that showed that the version of Luma Fusion for Android had nothing to envy to that of iOS. NOW the final version is now available.
The power and functionality of a desktop computer, but in the palm of your hand
Video editing on mobile, at least with the apps available, is not the easiest task. Some apps are great, like CapCut, but they mostly focus on editing vertical videos for Instagram or TikTok.
If you wanted an editor like the desktop ones, there was Filmora… and nothing else and nothing “professional” either. This is why Luma Fusion is so popular on iOS. And it is that, if you know Final Cut -the video editor for Mac created by Apple- you will see that there are very similar elements both in the interface of Luma Fusion and in its operation.
The interface is very intuitive, it has a magnetic timeline which allows that there are no empty spaces between the tracks, it has a powerful library that allows access to the files of the terminal and we can place up to six layers of video and another six of sound.
For a basic edition it is a very simple application to use both in panoramic version and in vertical mode on mobile, but also lets you go further with color correctionanimate frames, use LUTs, create effects and use blurs, remove green screens and the kinds of options we see in advanced editors.
In addition to your own videos and those you upload, from the library you can access StoryBlocks stock material (although you’ll need a separate subscription, of course) and you’ll be able to create custom export options so you always output videos with the same settings.
If you are interested in Luma Fusion for Android and Chrome OS, you can get it on the Play Store -this link- for 27.99 dollars. Yes, the price is about eight dollars higher than it was during the beta period, but that’s how it is. On the other hand, in the Samsung Galaxy Store there is a juicy offer that leaves the program at 19.32 dollars. We don’t know how long, yes.
