One of the best iPhone video editors is now also available on Android

After months of teasing, LumaFusion has finally arrived on Android and ChromeOS. 

The popular  video editing app makes the jump from iPhone and iPad, where it’s steadily built up a considerable fanbase of filmmakers and content creators. 

LumaTouch, the developer behind the software, promises “the full LumaFusion experience” across Apple and Android devices. 

LumaFusion on Android: What to expect 

Taking an identical approach as Blackmagic Design when releasing DaVinci Resolve for iPad, which features platform parity with the desktop version, existing users will find themselves in familiar territory with the award-winning video editing software. 

The look, feel, and workflow appear identical, with editors able to layer up to six video tracks and six audio tracks (although the true figure is device-dependent, with the best Android tablets yielding better results). The app retains the magnetic timeline, track headers, titling effects, and color correction tools.

Basic VFX software comes as part of the package. This includes green screen and chroma-keying, selecting from bundled color LUTs, and the ability to speed up, slow down, or time-lapse footage. The app also offers a range of audio editor features for getting the balance pitch-perfect. 

With an eye on remote collaboration, LumaFusion also gives users full control over resolution, quality, and framerate when sharing with colleagues. A useful addition particularly for mobile journalists and on-location movie-makers. 

However, despite appearances, LumaFusion on Android isn’t just a port, with LumaTouch saying this version has been specifically built for the platform by experienced ChromeOS developers. The development team “took great strides to recreate the signature LumaFusion experience to ensure users will enjoy the same workflow on whichever device they choose”’ said the company. 

LumaFusion for Android is priced at $29 / £24.49. It’s available from the Google Play Store by clicking here and Samsung Galaxy Store by clicking here. Users who bought the discounted beta get the full product at no cost.

Windows Copilot leak suggests deeper assimilation with Windows 11 features

Key Windows 11 features may soon be customizable as Microsoft further integrates its Windows Copilot AI assistant into the operating system. This tidbit comes from tech news site Windows Latest , which claims to have discovered new .json (JavaScript Object Notation) files within recent preview builds of Windows 11. These files apparently hint at future upgrades for the desktop AI assistant. For example, a “TaskManagerService-ai-plugin.json” was found which is supposedly a “plugin for Task Manager integration”. If this ever comes out, it could give users the ability to “monitor or close running apps using” Copilot. In total, six are currently tested and they affect various aspects of Windows 11. Next, there is an “AccessbilityTools-ai-plugin.json” that gives Copilot a way to “control accessibility [tools]. This would make it "easier for those with [a] disability to navigate through the system.” Third is “ai-plugin-WindowsSettings.json” for controlling important Windows 11 set...

Samsung's ViewFinity S9 may be the monitor creatives have been searching for

Originally revealed during CES 2023 , Samsung has finally launched its ViewFinity S9 5K monitor after nine long months of waiting.  According to the announcement, the ViewFinity S9 is the company’s first-ever 5K resolution (5,120 x 2880 pixels) IPS display aimed primarily at creatives. IPS stands for in-plane switching , a form of LED tech offering some of the best color output and viewing angles on the market. This quality is highlighted by the fact that the 27-inch screen supports 99 percent of the DCI-P3 color gamut plus delivers 600 nits of brightness.  Altogether, these deliver great picture quality made vibrant by saturated colors and dark shadows. The cherry on top for the ViewFinity S9 is a Matte Display coating to “drastically [reduce] light reflections.”  As a direct rival to the Apple Studio Display , the monitor is an alternative for creative professionals looking for options. It appears Samsung has done its homework as the ViewFinity S9 addresses some of...
