LumaFX

I’m quite literally shocked by how much more performant this app is and how high quality the effects are compared to other similar single-video editing apps. For just a couple bucks as well. The coloring/grading options aren’t *quite* as extensive as other apps, but the quality of adjustments and stackability of the effects makes it more effective and powerful than any other option I’ve tried. My phone is faster with editing video than my desktop, but the interfaces of the various apps I’ve tried have been lacking. Now that I’ve given this one a try, I think I may have to dish out for their full fledged editor app. This is just too good. I’ll say it again; I’m shocked by the outstanding quality of this program.

I have been overwhelming pleased with using Luma Fusion and would gladly give it 5 stars if the serious glitches were fixed!! First and foremost is the "crashing/freezing" issue which happens frequently and always when I've spent several hours editing a movie! Luckily, I've often recovered my work after restarting the app, but the crashes are unbelievably frustrating and time consuming. I can't begin to comprehend how such a serious flaw persists in an expensive & supposedly professional app without any updates to fix it. This matter alone would make me hesitant in referring it to my friends in the field. Another issue that I have include another serious complaint which involves audio issues in completed movies which I have exported. Since reviewing over three dozen completed movies I found extremely noticeable audio issues including grainy distortion, unbearably elevated bass, audio/background music that was significantly sped up and scratches, hissing and unidentifiable sounds drowning out the movie's original audio. Again, I don't understand why these important issues haven't been addressed and rectified with updates. The disappointing thing is that in fact aside from these two huge problems and a few minorbugs, this is a powerful app and with those bugs fixed would be the absolute best video editing app on the market.

I’ve only had this app a few days, but it’s been really fun editing and adding to my videos. This app is easy to use, but with so many options within this app, there’s a lot of possibilities. This is easily the best video editing app I have for editing on the fly. I think one of the things that could be added would be vintage video grain. Maybe I’ve missed it so far, but I’ve edited my videos through this app, then saved and imported my saved videos to 8mm video app to get the vintage video grainy effect when I need it. But, once again, such a fun and easy to use app.

This is top notch app when it comes to video editing, and is the closest thing to professional video editor on an iPad. But (and this is a big but) the preview window keeps glitching out. When the preview window doesn’t completely black out on the image, it compresses the video so much that you’re unable to distinguish anything. This is either going frame by frame or just straight playing through your timeline. I would give it 5 stars but unfortunately, its a shame that a $20 “professional” app has these kinds of bugs that really ruines the entire experience.

I purchased to add fx to the audio in my videos. I read it had 3rd party support and realized they had it then removed it. The built in reverb sounds so terrible I don’t even know if it could be called reverb. It sounds like it is engaging and disengaging randomly and ultra metallic resonant filter-like rapid digital feedback on a cell phone from 1998. However, if proper and stable 3rd party AU support happens my review will not only change to 5 stars, I will become a zealot and make every musician I know get it. There are currently zero video apps that support 3rd party AUv3 effects.
