LumaFusion is perhaps one of the best video editor apps on Android, and a new update is now rolling out with improvements to transitions as well as other welcome tweaks.
LumaFusion v2.5 is now rolling out to Android users via the Play Store with a few key tweaks. This includes support for the APV codec during export which, as noted by LumaFusion, results in high-quality video that takes up around 20% less storage.
LumaFusion for Android now supports the APV codec option in the Export Movie Settings. AVP, or Advanced Professional Video codec, is a modern, perceptually lossless video compression standard developed by Samsung for smartphones, enabling cinematic-quality video capture with less storage (around 20% less than alternatives) while offering professional-level fidelity and easier post-production editing, supporting high resolutions (4K/8K), bit depths (10-16 bit), and HDR, using intra-frame encoding for efficiency.
There’s also a new “Find Selected Clip in Library” and “Find Selected Clip in Timeline” flow that highlights clips in the library or timeline, respectively, for easy identification.
The biggest focus in this update, though, is on video transitions. LumaFusion is streamlining the process of adding transitions with three key changes. This includes a new menu that lets you select “head” and “tail” transitions for the same clip. You can also select multiple video clips at once and add transitions to all of them at once through the “Transitions Library.” A new double-tap gesture is also available to do this.
LumaFusion explains:
- Head and Tail Transitions: LumaFusion for Android users simply select a clip in the timeline, choose the Head and Tail Transition option from the menu, and a cross dissolve is instantly and automatically added to the beginning and end of that clip.
- Multiple Transitions at Once: Select as many clips as you like, double tap the transition of choice in the Transitions Library, and that effect is instantly applied to each selected clip.
- Double Tap to Add Transitions: Select any number of clips in the timeline, go to the Transitions Library, double tap on the transition and it is automatically added to every selected clip on the timeline.
These changes are rolling out in LumaFusion for Android v2.5, available now in the Play Store for $29.99.
