LumaFusion is for people who edit on an iPad or iPhone and want more control than the free apps give, without paying monthly. It costs $29.99 once on the US App Store and offers six video, audio or graphic tracks plus six additional audio tracks, with a timeline that works both track by track and magnetically. Green screen, luma and chroma keys, a stabilizer, color correction with LUT imports and video scopes make it a real editing tool, and the audio side includes voice isolation, parametric EQ and ducking so music drops under dialogue. Media can come from Photos, Frame.io or a USB-C drive. Apple named it App of the Year for 2021, and the Editors' Choice note says beginners can get the hang of its touch interface. The catch is that some advanced features, including Multicam Studio, speed ramping and FCPXML export, are $19.99 add-ons each or part of a Creator Pass subscription.
