Great video ! Bro show us, how to make After Effects type 3D texts floating on our video with Lumafusion and other iPad apps. I really need this..

[@orci77]

iPad on table and seeing how you do it looks cool but a full screen view of the iPad would sometimes be better from my point of view.

I prefer the ipad on table way of doing it, imo

genius! this tutorial made me install keynote again. animations on keynote are much more polished giving it the professional look. lumafusion + keynote makes a great combo. thanks to this! i used this technique in 2 of my latest videos 😊

[@ruthsib]

Me too. Few years I dont know about Key note. Its here in my mobile 😅

[@Topherten]

I’m loving these tutorials because they’re helping me to add more professional features to my videos one step at a time

[@ChrisWilmshurst]

Glad they’re doing good for you! Sometimes the simplest things make a video more professional

[@Rood67]

As a Windows IT professional, server admin, etc... I am familiar with PowerPoint, and have been doing some title there. However, seeing this, my mind is thinking how to do this in PowerPoint to accomplish the same thing. Keynote isn’t a bad program, I use it to alpha remove backgrounds from images for my wife’s online business. Then with LumaFusion, and Davinci Resolve; my editing techniques are growing.

[@gootschi7767]

A good alternative. The problem though with this method if you have a lot of titles to make for multiple videos you will be switching back and forth between the two apps. It could be better if you have the option to just change the text within lumafusion but that one you need to create on your own as custom. Like with the defaults provided by lumafusion.

[@ChrisWilmshurst]

Completely agree. Until LumaFusion implements proper basic editing tools like this with ease we'll have to rely on other programs. But, a solution to ease this issue is you can always save your keynote project and adjust them one after another and re-export. Similar to how you would with an after effects title or premiere pre-saved graphics profile.

[@damiengalvez4869]

Great idea to use the Keynote animation. For a simple title, LumaFusion is enough. For your last example this can be a good alternative!!

[@BenjirichCan]

Thank you for the tip! Making titles in keynote makes the workflow so much more efficient!

[@ChrisWilmshurst]

No problem man! I’m really glad it helps your workflow! That’s the aim of my videos!

[@KevinTumlinson]

I was kicking around looking for ways to do animated titles in LumaFusion, and was kind of searching for an “Aftereffects for iPad” kind of thing. I once used Keynote to do this exact sort of thing when I wanted a quick animation in FinalCut Pro. It NEVER occurred to me to do this on iPad. It’s like opening my eyes for the first time! Thank you-excellent tip!

[@ChrisWilmshurst]

Aha, well I'm very glad this helped you out!

[@jmagrippis]

Using Keynote for this is so creative, I love unexpected use-case success stories!

[@ChrisWilmshurst]

Just need a little out of the box filming :)

[@VoodooBazooka]

I was looking for a way to add text comments to my videos while editing in LumaFusion. Your video was the first in the search results and to be honest, I liked it. Simply because following your steps helped me to learn not only to add text, but also to animate it to my preferences. Both thumbs up!

[@paulstrahnickiy1724]

Ou thank for this guide ! Can you please make a video how to spin a pen so cool in your hand how you did it on 1:50 ? :D

[@Khordmaster]

This is super helpful thank you so much. Is there a way to save an animated text that we create this way to a favorites section so it can easily be added to future videos?

[@ChrisWilmshurst]

You can always save the keynote file and adjust it later to speed things up

[@LiamGower]

I was just watching a video and thought, hey that text slide in on screen is so cool, I should add that to my videos its so slick. Searched and found your video and wow in a 4 minute video I’m from no idea to having an example done on my own clip. Thank you so much! I did have to pause quite a few times to keep up but I guess there’s no harm in that. Very slick!

[@ChrisWilmshurst]

Thank you Liam! Glad you found a use for the tutorial. I always try and make videos as short as possible so you can get a good feel for how it’s done and if you need to double take, it’s not hard to find :)

[@alexanderk3081]

I know you made this 3 years ago and it's still a great tutorial! My question to you...do you keep that grip exercise tool around for when your hand falls asleep?

[@ChrisWilmshurst]

Haha no! I use that grip exercise tool as I suffer with really bad cramps/carpal tunnel so it stretches and relieves some of the pain in my arm/wrist

[@Packraft_Stories]

Two years later still very helpfull! Cheers from Germany!

[@RideBikesBeHappy]

Cool advice/tip. Tried it with a fade affect, with less success. It’s shows the green behind, as the text fade in.

Great tutorial Chris, I’ve never thought of using keynote as a way to create animated titles, that’s a great idea

[@ChrisWilmshurst]

Cheers mate! I thought of the idea when I saw the old iPad advert with LumaFusion featured and thought this is maybe how they did it.

Thanks! This was as much an iOS Keynote tutorial as it was a LumaFusion tutorial for me. I’ve used keynote for broadcast graphics on MacOS, bit I had to stop and pause this several times during the Keynote portion to figure out what you were doing.

[@ChrisWilmshurst]

I like to make videos I'd want to watch and I hate people who ramble on! so thanks for the kind words :)

[@Justin_W]

Thanks! Is there no way to have any kind of finer control such as easing for the animation?

[@SouthbayCreations]

Thanks for the video. Interesting way you showed. Is there a reason you use keynotes as apposed to just doing those directly in LumaFusion? Just curious. I appreciate you sharing the info! Jason

[@ChrisWilmshurst]

Hi Jason, I use keynote as it’s a lot quicker to animate and there’s things such as easing in to make it smoother. LumaFusion is pretty bad at the moment for anything animation related, especially with limited tracks. So this is a temporary work around until things improve ;)

[@SouthbayCreations]

[@ChrisWilmshurst]

Essentially you hit the plus sign at point a and then scroll along to point b.. any changes you make at point b will animate from point a

When Apple released their 'made on ipad' tv advert, i instantly thought that they must have used Keynote for the animations. So I tried it out, and it worked! But honestly, thank you for checking out the video. You're awesome! There's four or five other LumaFusion tutorials I've made which are worth checking out :)

[@everydaytechy1]

Excellent video thank you for sharing I have just started Lumafusion and this is a massive help.

[@redmeeney]

Great Video!

[@aabidfaiyaz]

I tried your method today and it was great. I only want to know the steps u used one the last one how did my animate the box and the text separately that where I was not quit sure where I went wrong...

[@ChrisWilmshurst]

If you click on the text you can add an animation to them just like the boxes. Then change the order to suit :)

[@aabidfaiyaz]

Chris Wilmshurst the order part is where I'm getting confused, so if I'm not mistaken you could separate the box animation time with the text time. So I could get the same effect as you got in the last one u showed. Also could u make a video explaining key frame on LumaFusion ( I know u did a video on it ) but I was not able to understand how u did the key frame .

[@shauwnKnight]

[@alterswede]

Nice to know. Do you know a way to use an animation from keynote which is exported in prores 4444 with Transparent background from a mac. Is there a way to save that file (convert) in FCPX for later use in lumafusion? If so, how? 😆 thanks for a good tutorial!

[@ChrisWilmshurst]

Unfortunately iOS doesn’t support alpha channel (transparent) video clips so I don’t personally I’m afraid!

Well thats a good reason to use keynote i guess. Does keynote has a ease out-kind of function when animating?

[@ChrisWilmshurst]

It opens up so many opportunities! You could even use it for full screen titles etc if you don’t want to use green screen

[@rcunhadf]

[@sandeepraiphotography2111]

Great tutorial. I am also looking to shift to an iPad Pro. However it is interesting that you are not using magic keyboard or a keyboard of any sort for typing and editing. Does that not hinder the speed?

[@ChrisWilmshurst]

When filming tutorials I shoot without a keyboard as it's much easier for top down filming. When I do want to type out long pieces (off camera) I use my Keychron k2 or my Inateck case (both on reviewed on my channel) . However, I don't use my iPad Pro enough to warrant spending anywhere between £200-350 for an Apple Smartfolio or Magic keyboard, and it's honestly not that bad typing on the screen, i've got very used to it and I can touch type.

[@sandeepraiphotography2111]

Chris Wilmshurst thank you for the advice and the response. I was just thinking I can’t afford an iPad Pro and a magic keyboard for £300 extra. But if I can use just the iPad then I am more than happy plus I can get one with more memory I guess. Thanks once again.

[@ChrisWilmshurst]

You don’t need to spend £300 on one. You could get the iMac Apple keyboard and a Logitech Mx master and run it like a computer :)

Awesome sir

[@rbbcpa]

This tutorial was awesome! Quick question. I am using the “move in” effect but when I bring it into LumaFusion it “stutters” as it moves across the screen. I assume this has something to do with frame rates but I am not sure. Any recommendations.

[@ChrisWilmshurst]

Hi Rob, thanks for the kind words. If you're exporting the movie from Keynote, make sure its frame rate is set to 60fps. This should take care of most stutters. if that doesn't completely fix it, try adjusting the timings of the effect.

is it necessary to choose a bright green background so we can have an invisible one when in lumafusion?

You could use blue? But any colour you can key out should work. But whatever colour you choose can’t be in your title

Hi Chris, isn’t it possible to just keyframe the title and the boxes directly in luma fusion? What’s the reason for using keynote?

[@ChrisWilmshurst]

It’s possible yes! Very much. I use keynote because it’s so much faster and it eases the transitions in, where as LumaFusion currently doesn’t support speed ramping of any kind

Cool video, just one question when you select animation with text that is appearing, after importing, in Lumafusion there is no way to remove green tint on it. You can remove tint from full text, but not when effect is to appear text. Or is there any way? Played with chroma sliders but those just make text less visible and still don't remove tint when text is partially visible.

[@cynthiahildner]

I am having the same issue and I am using grey font. Wondering if that is what is different. He is using white font. Feeling really frustrated. Any suggestion would be greatly Appreciated. I have tried so many things and played with the slides and it still has the green hue. I was doing small lettering and tried a much bigger font size then import it and I got the same degradation of the text and the green tint. Thank you in advance!
