If youβre an iPad editing fan, youβve likely heard ofΒ LumaFusion, the professional-grade, multitrack editing app for iOS, Android, Mac, and ChromeOS. As a LumaFusion user for over six years, Iβve watched it evolve into one of the best editing tools on the market. And now, LumaTouch, the makers of LumaFusion, have unveiled some exciting updates that make this app even more compelling for storytellers of all levels.
Creator Pass
LumaTouch has officially rebranded itsΒ Storyblocks for LumaFusionΒ subscription to theΒ Creator Pass, and itβs not just a name change. Lumafusion has had a StoryBlocks integration for years. So if you had a Storyblocks account you could add their media directly from LumaFusion instead of needing to go to the Storyblocks site. But this new upgrade adds a suite of powerful featuresβat no extra cost to current subscribers.
What does this mean for creators like you and me? Whether youβre syncing footage from multiple cameras or crafting smooth motion effects, the Creator Pass now includes a lineup of tools previously available only as one-time purchases.
Whatβs included:
- Speed Ramping:Β Create stunning slow-motion or fast-motion effects with keyframe control for a seamless, cinematic look.
- Enhanced Keyframing:Β Use BΓ©zier curve path editing to add smooth, professional-quality motion to videos and effects.
- Multicam Studio (iOS only):Β Sync and switch between clips from multiple cameras effortlesslyβideal for interviews or live events.
- FCPXML Export (iOS only):Β Export your project to Final Cut Pro and take your editing to the next level on the desktop.
Keep in mind that these are valued at $40 as an in app purchase, but now you get this alongside your Storyblocks subscription which still gives you access to the extensiveΒ Storyblocks libraryΒ of stock videos, music, sound effects, and backgrounds. This makes the Creator Pass a one-stop subscription for everything you need to elevate your storytelling.
Subscription vs. One-Time purchase
One thing Iβve always appreciated about LumaTouch was that they were always a flat fee purchase and did not make us go to a subscription model. Although the Creator Pass is a subscription model product, Lumatouch still gives us all the flexibility in the world. So if subscriptions arenβt your thing, you can still buy LumaFusion and its enhanced features asΒ one-time purchases, and theyβre yours forever.
Hereβs the breakdown:
- LumaFusion Software: $9.99 one time purchase (On sales for $29.99 for the holiday season)
- Creator Pass Subscription:Β $9.99/month or $69.99/year, including all enhanced features and Storyblocks library access.
- One-Time Purchases:Β Each enhanced feature is $19.99.
Already subscribed to Storyblocks? Good newsβyour subscription automatically upgrades to the Creator Pass at no extra cost.
Black Friday & Cyber Monday
I did also want to call out the insane deal that LumaTouch is running for the holidays. Normally Lumafusion is a one time purchase of $29.99, but right now itβs on sale for $9.99! Again this is a one time purchase to use Lumafusion and then after the fact you can decide whether or not the additional Creator Pass is worth it for you. The last nite about this is that, the one time purchase of Lumafusion will work across all of your devices. So you can use Lumafusion for iOS, iPadOS and MacOS for just $10!
Final thought
With the launch of the Creator Pass, LumaTouch has solidified LumaFusion as the go-to platform for mobile and desktop editing. The addition of advanced tools like Multicam Studio and Speed Rampingβat no extra cost to subscribersβshows their dedication to empowering storytellers. And for new users, the $9.99 Black Friday deal is an unbeatable opportunity to see what all the buzz is about.
Whether youβre editing your next YouTube masterpiece or creating memories from your travels, LumaFusion has the tools you need to bring your vision to life. As a longtime user, I can confidently say: it just keeps getting better.
