If you're a fan of editing on the iPad, you've probably heard of LumaFusion, a professional multi-track editing app for iOS, Android, Mac, and ChromeOS. As a LumaFusion user for over six years, I've watched it evolve into one of the best editing tools on the market. Now, LumaTouch, the creators of LumaFusion, have unveiled some exciting updates that make the app even more compelling for storytellers of all levels.
Creator Pass
LumaTouch has officially rebranded its Storyblocks for LumaFusion subscription to the Creator Pass, and this isn’t just a name change. Lumafusion has been integrating with StoryBlocks for years, so if you have a Storyblocks account, you can add your media directly from LumaFusion instead of going to the Storyblocks website. But this new update adds a powerful set of features — at no additional cost to current subscribers.
What does this mean for creators like you and me? Whether you’re syncing footage from multiple cameras or creating smooth motion effects, Creator Pass now includes a range of tools that were previously only available as a one-time purchase.
What’s Included:
- Ease Up:Create stunning slow-motion or fast-motion effects with keyframe control for a seamless, cinematic look.
- Advanced Framing: Use Bezier path editing to add professional-quality smooth motion to your videos and effects.
- Multicam Studio (iOS only): Easily sync and switch between clips from multiple cameras – perfect for interviews or live broadcasts.
- Export to FCPXML (iOS only): Export your project to Final Cut Pro and take your editing to the next level on your desktop.
Keep in mind that they're priced at $40 as an in-app purchase, but now you get that along with a Storyblocks subscription, which still gives you access to Storyblocks' vast library of stock footage, music, sound effects, and backgrounds. This makes the Creator Pass an all-in-one subscription for everything you need to improve your storytelling.
Subscription vs. One-Time Purchase
One thing I always appreciated about LumaTouch was that they were always a flat fee purchase and didn't force us to switch to a subscription model. While the Creator Pass is a subscription model product, Lumatouch still gives us all the flexibility in the world. So if subscriptions aren't for you, you can still buy LumaFusion and its premium features one time, and they'll be yours forever.
Here's what it looks like:
- LumaFusion Software:$9.99 one-time purchase (on sale for $29.99 during the holiday season)
- Creator Pass Subscription: $9.99 per month or $69.99 per year, including all premium features and access to the Storyblocks library.
- One-time Purchases: Each premium feature costs $19.99.
Already subscribed to Storyblocks? Good news – your subscription automatically renews to the Creator Pass at no additional cost.
Black Friday & Cyber Monday
I also wanted to mention the crazy deal LumaTouch is running leading up to the holidays. Lumafusion is usually a one-time purchase for $29.99, but right now it’s on sale for $9.99! Again, this is a one-time purchase to use Lumafusion, and then after that you can decide if you want to purchase the additional Creator Pass. The last thing to know about this is that the one-time purchase of Lumafusion will work on all your devices. So, you can use Lumafusion on iOS, iPadOS, and MacOS for just $10!
Final Thought
With the launch of the Creator Pass, LumaTouch has solidified LumaFusion as an editing platform on mobile and desktop. The addition of advanced tools like Multicam Studio and Speed Ramping — at no extra cost to subscribers — shows their commitment to empowering storytellers. And for new users, the $9.99 Black Friday deal is an unbeatable opportunity to see what the hype is all about.
Whether you’re 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 long-time user, I can confidently say: it just keeps getting better.
