LumaTouch has announced the release of a major new update to the company’s multitrack video editing platform for iOS, LumaFusion. LumaFusion v3.1 includes some great new features to add a professional color workflow to your editing experience. Read on to find out more.
Scopes
The headline new addition to LumaFusion v3.1 is the Scopes feature. This feature gives you histograms, waveforms and vectorscopes — tools essential for color grading — in real time. The scopes are also present in customizable panels. This means you can see the results of your settings changes immediately and animate them while seeing results during video playback. In addition, all of the scopes work for both high dynamic range (HDR) and standard dynamic range (SDR) color spaces.
Multiple LUTs and effects
Another new feature in LumaFusion v3.1 is the ability to add multiple LUTs and effects to any clip simultaneously. LumaTouch says this streamlines and accelerates the workflow for creators while giving them creative freedom to quickly add a signature look to their content. You can even combine in-camera LUTs and multiple instances of any effect to your footage for highly stylized, professional-looking sequences.
