Apple devices aren’t the only creative tools out there anymore with LumaFusion Android and ChromeOS beta.
LumaFusion is one of the best mobile NLEs on the market (until maybe DaVinci Resolve for iPad comes along). Until now, creatives could cut their projects on LumaFusion for iPad and iPhone. But that all changes, as the company behind it has released a beta for both Android and ChromeOS, giving creative access to even more filmmakers.
For mobile filmmakers, LumaFusion has dominated the iOS market for years, and one of the top requests has been a version for those using a Galaxy smartphone or tablet. After so much time, non-Apple creatives can finally get their feet wet.
not just a port
LumaTouch didn’t port the iOS version to Android and ChromeOS, but instead built this new version of LumaFusion from the ground up. If you’re familiar with the iOS UI, it’s similar but offers an experience that Android and ChromeOS users will be comfortable with.

Mobile filmmakers using Android or ChromeOS as their capture or editing devices will find LumaFusion to be a solid option for adding more production value. While there are plenty of features for cutting everything from a short film or video to a long-form project, this tool set will be a boon to digital content creators trying to find an edge over the competition.
