I love Lumafusion, I started getting hooked into more editing thanks to the ease of use. I downloaded a version of DaVinci but its so complicated compared to Lumafusion however I’m sure this is due to the learning curve, all basics are the same its just called something different because of the software, however I’m happy there’s a Mac version now that I can use on my laptop, before then I was just using my ipad which was amazing in itself.
Great review 👍🏻 After moving from iPad pro to MacBook pro, I haven’t been using a Lumafusion for a while. Recently switched to m1 Macbook and at my surprise the Lumafusion is now compatible with it. However, I find the workflow on a MacBook with a Lumafusion is not as smooth and satisfying as it used to be on the Ipad Pro. I’m missing that combo so much 😢
Hi Rob! I started with Lumafusion and find it a lot easier than FCP. But now i changed to Final Cut because of More Professional Plugins. But the biggest Point for me is the quality. The Output of FCP together with Compressor is smaller but better looking than best quality in Lumafusion. Compressor really makes a hugh difference for me.
Good vid, I use LumaFusion running on the MacBook Pro M1 - I've used FCP on this too but it is just too darn slow. LF workflow and features are soo much better.
The only option I find useful in Final Cut, is Multicam Editing. Fast monitoring and switch between cameras. Otherwise LumaFusion is more friendly. And also I can start the project in iPhone, right after shooting, while traveling, and finalize it later on Macbook.
Great review. I use both applications. LumaFusion while traveling on my iPad, then FCPX At home on my iMac. Both applications have there ups and down. But overall they are great tools to edit travel and home blogs videos.
I knew what I know but I was stupid this week. Even as a long time Lumafusion user (thanks to all you’ve taught me) I jump in and bought FCP. I added to mTuber pack and the MKBHD plug-in pack. For a combined price of over $500. I did this because I need easy multi camera editing. FCP is good for that. BUT THATS ALL it’s good at! Building new assets, text layers and key frames will take forever. 99% of the FCP built in assets are just CHEESY. Ugggggg. Add to that I lose my built in story blocks and I’m totally regretting this purchase. So I’ll consider this money wasted and come back to Lumafusion in the morning. Lumafusion with your plug-ins is by far the BEST THING ANYONE CAN USE!!! Thank you. Final Cut is far from PRO. Dear, Lumafusion PLEASE hurry up and get your directors pack ready. I’ll buy it at ANY price.
I know. I started doing some fcp tutorials and edits as you may have seen. But that’s close to it. I spend twice the amount making an effect in fpc over Lumafusion l, since i need to use a mouse 🤦 The multicam is coming soon tho 🫣 very soon i believe. I hope so at least.. i have 10 devices with a lens that i could benefit from 😅
@@RobHK yes, I watched your FCP tutorials and enjoyed them. I even took some inspiration from them to use in Lumafusion. With that’s said I’m glad we both enjoy Lumafusion better. I need your knowledge to continue to teach and inspire me. Again thank you so much. Lumafusion needs you on their payroll.
Hehe. 👌 just hope my new masterclass pays off so i can get back to deeper tutorials like timeline editing🔥 so much more to the app than a million key frames 😅
Great review. I have both Final Cut and LumaFusion. As you say, there are pros and cons. - I like that LumaFusion can paste adjustments on a clip, directly replacing the existing color corrections. In final cut you have to manually delete the corrections. - I don’t like that in LumaFusion when I open an old edit, it does not show me the folder where the footage is. It makes managing clips from different sources hard. Maybe there is a way to do that, I am not aware of. I can consolidate a project edit, but it will not include the clips that are not on the timeline. If I want to expand that edit in a longer form, consolidating will not be sufficient to gather all the footage. I have an iPad 7 or 8 gen. The only issue is the slow transfer rate, and it does not allow external edit. I am considering an iPad mini, which is very portable. But I wonder if the screen is too small. It can be more fun to edit on an iPad, but the file management, and the import speed is not as good as a Mac with final cut. Can you import footage to an external SSD from a camera directly with an iPad?
Yes you can import footage from an SD card to an external SSD using just an iPad if you have a usb-c hub with an SD card reader and an available port to connect the SSD. I have done this.
@@kylehuntmaui Thank you! I got an iPad mini with USB-C dongle-card reader and it works great. The only issue i have is that when I open an old project, it is hard to know where is the actual media referenced on the timeline. And that consolidating only copies the media used on the timeline, not additional clips that could be used later on in an alternate edit.
@@stefpix there’s a funny trick to it, you make a copy then go into the project folder and rename it with FCP closed, and then goto FCP and try to open the file, it will say there is an error and ask to fix it. Say yes and then your timeline and the media is there. I haven’t done it in a while so double check, but it’s a common problem when moving projects between computers. So easy to find on TH-cam
Thanks for the comparison! I don’t have a laptop to edit on but lumafusion looks like it’ll do a good job but it’s $40 now. Hope they have a sale again.
i realized that luma is faster and the exports are more useful but its missing lots of audio ,effects and transitions and it seem that you need to pay for extras ! any solutions for complete package ?
I have both and editing and uploading in 4K is terrible on FCP. The user experience there no comparison with Luma fusion. The process of editing is night and day different. Luma fusion for the win.
LumaFusion looks like the perfect tool to movie my editing of my 15in 2015 MacBook even if it has Final Cut Pro. Looking to get an m2 iPad Pro to do as much on there to keep my MacBook going for a few more years…
I’m not sure if it’s possible , but id love to see a way to save (render?) a selected section of clips to make them one…. Without having to create a new and separate timeline, edit, save (render?), and import back to original project’s timeline. If that makes sense.
Love the content! Been using your videos to learn lumafusion over the last two months and the content is amazing! Do you get preview lag when editing on the T5 ssd on the 2018 iPad Pro, with 4K footage? I’m having some major lag when using my old external WD HD and looking to get a new external ssd but not sure how fast of one is needed (Samsung T5, T7, SanDisk Extreme Pro, the list goes on) any advice is hugely appreciated! Thanks again for all the amazing tutorials 🤙
Nicely done Rob, been following you and Lumafusion since early days ,only an iPad Pro for me so still waiting in for the Z axis to allow me to skew and of course that all important Masking which I predicted for 2023( 6 years ago lol ) Keep,up the great work🖖
As a magnifier (e.g, zoom utility, as I am visually impaired), I have had glitches where Final Cut Pro would cause the display to fade, and even end up flickering the display as soon as I was finished using the program. Disabling the zoom utility would fix this, but it sounds like from what you were saying in this video regarding the glitch is a final cut pro, I’m just thinking that perhaps the software might just be due for a redesign? Rumor has it we might be getting Final Cut Pro on the iPad one day… And if that happens? I would hope that they’ve completely redesign the app for the desktop as well. I can tell you that using LumaFusion on my M1 MacBook Air is a far better experience, which is a shame, because I genuinely do the final cut pro.
@@RobHK I will say that you will find some user interface elements to be a bit strange because they don’t fully translate well to the mouse and keyboard, but they’re definitely working on it
Hi Rob, just want to ask how can I frame my drone footage? Cause when I’m going to edit and mixed my drone footage with my cam footage that is set to 2.39:1 I don’t know if I framed my drone footage right to fit with my cam resolution. Because on my drone I cant set my resolution to 2.39:1, I think its fixed in 16:9? What can be done? Should I just cropped it? Or film it in 4k 60 then cropped the drone footage to fit on my other clip that is set to 2.39:1? Thanks! Sorry for may bad english 🤣
Is this for Lumafusion or FCP? I had an issue in Lumafusion where if I dropped a clip with a different resolution Luma decided to change the entire project to that new clips aspect ratio. I had to go in the project settings to force it back to a 16:9
I know I’m a heavy commenter 😂. But what pack is shown at 5:53 ? I’m wanting the follow the trend of the yellow and black Graphics. I looks great and stands out to viewers
Very good video. Do you know how to render out video including individual audio tracks? As far as I know LumaFusion makes always an audio mixdown (no matter how many audio tracks I use-it will only render out only one track). Thanks philipp
I would say in first place using Luma Fusion on Mac is a mistake - this is app designed for touch interface. Not to mention I could not use it on Mac because my security settings were too low. Apple is getting more and more insane with making MacOS closed system because hey we are all children and need to be taken care of
LumaFusion on ipad: Best Final cut pro on ipad: Worst But then using Final cut pro on MacOS and Lumafusion on iPad.... best combo, mostly if you don't have a Macbook
Great video and insight! Congratulations on 100k If I won the prize I would use the amazing gifts for creating travel videos using my drone and dji osmo 2 camera
Går ikke, med mindre du maler tauet i en annen farge, bruker chroma key, legger samme video under og scaler og offseter bakgrunns videoen og blender de sammen 🤷

Thanks for the input man👌👌
What sort of size differences do you see? This is something I hadn’t though about, but I do notice my 4k30p exports can be pretty chunky
What FCPs did you take for FC?
Good vid, I use LumaFusion running on the MacBook Pro M1 - I've used FCP on this too but it is just too darn slow. LF workflow and features are soo much better.
Word! 😎
I agree 1000000% FCP is way to
Slow compared to Lumafusion even on the M1.

They have a sale now 50% off Hurry b4 it gone
Forty bucks, twenty bucks…dude I paid I believe $1,000. in 2001 for FCP 1.0
I think Final Cut Pro is more easy to use than premiere pro.
Thank for sharing this RobHK i will use for my content video editing with LumFusion on my ipad air 5 gen.
Will the file sharing in Luma improve? I find it crashes and/or I can't access the folders I want eg in Dropbox, only a few folders.
Do you have a pc tower or mac mini or mac studio for your set up?
I have been waiting for this video for so long. I cannot wait to watch it.🙏🙏🙏

New type’s included in the masterclass, my signature mogrts.
@@RobHK thanks, I’m headed back to the store to get it now. Just got the Kenetic Pro. It is awesome. (I think I have all the Kenetic assets now)
If luma fusion gets Bach render then I’ll be happy.

Sir how you did 7:53 this rotate slides can teach us
Was this whole video edit on lumafusion?
Great detail!
Thank you, sir!!!
Hi - Thanks for all the fantastic videos 😀🙏Is it possible to make a pop up or some with a clickable url link in Lumafusion?
I quit lumafusion as soon as I found out that I can't adjust windows. Now that it's fully adjustable, I might just try it again.
From what i know, there’s a lot of new features coming to be exited about
@@RobHK. Thanks Rob. What new features do you know are coming for LF.?
How is Lumafusion on MacBook Air M1? Who knows? Thank you.
Not the same as on the iPad. The touch you have on the iPad is way better
@@RobHK Lately, I hear a lot that Davinci Resolve on MacBook M1 is better than FCP. How is that possible?
Idk. Not a huge fan of DR. Seems to messy. Layout looks awful imo.
I prefer Lumafusion, FCP, Motion 5 and after effects tbh.
@@RobHK Thank you for sharing!
Also think there was a great hype om DR when Sam Kolder made his promo video on it, all of a sudden everyone wanted to change😅
6 layers can’t work for me
Kan du lage en video på hvordan fjerne f.eks strømledninger eller tauet fra viral lite i LumaFusion ? Pleace 😊
Går ikke, med mindre du maler tauet i en annen farge, bruker chroma key, legger samme video under og scaler og offseter bakgrunns videoen og blender de sammen 🤷
No curves, no color wheels, luma is a toy. I bought it but i never use it because of missing basic features.
I like how lumafusion is pushing boundaries. Hoping for finalcut for ipad soon.
Nice vid man
Thanks, Asasn👌
great video! luma for life
Thanks Carl👌
Has anyone used this on Android? Samsung sent me a discount coupon, otherwise I would never have even heard of Luma before.
Lumafusion is Lub 🥰❤️
Best part of the video is your chubby baby sitting on your lap 😍
Kinemaster is way more advanced than lumafusion
Luma still doesn’t working well on m1 🥲 especially with external drive…
