Finally someone who could explain it so a dummy like me could understand how the keyframes work. Great job, thanks.

[@LumaTouch]

Happy to help!

[@StratplayerUK]

I've owned LumaFusion for several years now and done hardly anything fancy with it, these videos are brilliant. Helps me to understand how to do intersting stuff without being bored to death by some dull presenter. Love the content and the delivery, your presenter gives off a great vibe of positivity.

[@LumaTouch]

Thanks for the comment and we're happy these tutorials are sparking more creativity amongst editors. Have fun with your editing!

Happy to hear from a long time customer! Thanks for the comment.

[@danielclifton4589]

That is probably the best explanation I’ve seen of key framing with LumaFusion. It was very well explained and done at a speed that’s easy to follow and understand. Thanks so much.

[@LumaTouch]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Dulcilady]

Finally, a comprehensive explanation of key framing and with a demonstration of how to use it! Thank you. I’ve been using LumaFusion for several years now but using key framing on a hit or miss basis. I will be viewing this video more than once. 🙂 To return to an shortest placed KF in the timeline, I use the forward & back arrows for a quick snap to placement of the video head.

I bought LumaFusion some time in 2018, when it was a fairly new app yet comprehensive compared to all the video editing apps at the time. The more you guys added through the updates, the less and less I use Premier, when 3.0 hit, Premier went bye bye…..keep up the good work guys!

Happy to hear you've made the switch over entirely! Thanks for the comment and happy editing.

Correct. That's something we hope to improve at some point in the future with Advanced Keyframing. Thanks for the feedback.

[@jean_mollycutpurse_winchester]

Marvellous tutorial, thank you very much. Very clear and easy to understand. Perhaps one thing I don't like about LumaFusion is that in animation programs I am used to making the effect and THEN adding the second keyframe. But of course, that's nothing to do with your excellent video. I should like to see far more of your tutorials. Subbed!

[@LumaTouch]

Thank you for the sub and the feedback! We'll continue making improvements and adding new features to LumaFusion as time goes on. Stay tuned.

[@dennisdragan1128]

Excellent presentation!

[@LumaTouch]

Thank you kindly!

[@steevo1976]

I really enjoy LumaFusion. Someone mentioned advance key framing as that would be nice. I have found it really easy to accidentally hit the delete all keframes button as it is so close to the create new button. I would just love keyframeable masks- bezier or pixel based. I’ve seen clever videos where green shapes are animated, rendered out and used as chromakey masks. A long winded workaround though. If it were available it would make this the best mobile video editor hands down. (not that it isn’t already). 😁

[@LumaTouch]

We'll add a note to the wishlist about masks for you. Thanks for the comment and feedback! Advanced Keyframes is something we're working on but it's still in development.

[@smurfettetutorialchannel8248]

Yes I'd love to be able to mask using the Bezier tool

[@beevachira]

Great Video Editing Tool. Wish they add more preset titles, effect and more plug in options. I enjoy using it so far.

[@LumaTouch]

Thank you for your support - we will be announcing new features in April!

[@das_tattooatelier_freistadt]

Lumafusion is an excellent tool! Should you intend to make further changes at some point, I have a suggestion: color grading. If it ever worked like Davinci Resolve, that would be AWESOME! Thank you for your work, greetings from Austria. 👍🏻🙂

[@LumaTouch]

Thanks for the comment and the feedback! We do want to add more color grading options in the future and have some notes on the wishlist. We'll add a tally for your request right now.

Thanks!!!!!

Welcome!

[@pavlopr92]

Useful video

[@LumaTouch]

Glad you think so!

[@GalactiMations]

Is keyframe easing in development? That would make animations and transitions look way smoother. Great video editor, by the way!

[@LumaTouch]

It is and we're excited to see what LumaFusion editors come up with once it's finished. We don't have a release date yet, since we're working to a standard and not a hard deadline. Our developers are working hard and will get Advanced Key framing, which includes easing, to our customers as soon as it's ready. 👍

[@videasteformatrice]

Hi, very clear 🙏 thank you, how could I use key frame for speed ramping and smooth speed change ? Thankfully

[@LumaTouch]

Check out this tutorial: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hpm6ZJ9tabehabM

[@morningcoffee1111]

Speed ramping, please!

[@LumaTouch]

Speed ramping is currently in the development phase. We'll have more info on the release date once this phase is complete.

[@GalactiMations]

Will skewing and distorting a shape/image ever be added? I think it would be a good addition along with the other transformations you can do.

[@LumaTouch]

It's on our wish list; please stand by.

[@robertass.988]

Super !!! Thank you

[@LumaTouch]

Happy to share!

[@th461]

Thank you so much for this helpful video. Knowing how to do it is one thing. But where do I get all the ideas from? The possibilities of LumaFusion are fantastic.

[@LumaTouch]

Caroline has a long history of editing and teaching video. She has a deep well of ideas. More to come!

[@gregscarcella519]

Great job explaining key framing. Often a very confusing topic. I would add that the computer calculates what to do between the first key frame and the second key frame

[@LumaTouch]

Thanks for the added tip. 🧠

[@Steffikochtein]

Hi an greetings from Germany! I am learning how to use LumaFusion. I found out I can adopt the volume of an audio by adjusting it while playing the video. But it sets a lot of keyframes at once. Is there a chance to delete them all at once without using the undo arrow? Best, Steffi

[@LumaTouch]

Hi Steffi, to delete all the keyframes on a clip in a single editor at once, just tap the Keyframes button at lower left. They'll all be deactivated. Thanks for watching!

[@AirborneMediaScotland]

In frame and fit theses a rotation toggle that I use to level my horizon ,my question is there a way to have a line across selected footage in the preview screen to aid the perfectly level horizon

[@LumaTouch]

At present the best way to do this is to add an overlay title, then size and position it to where you expect your horizon should be in your picture. That box will make a good level reference as you go back into the main clip and adjust rotation. If you have any questions about this please reach out to our Support team: lumatouch.co/support (tap 'email Support'). Thanks!

[@TrashyPeachy_]

I wish you could add graphs into the keyframes in order to make the animation smoother :3

[@LumaTouch]

We're working on it right now. 🧠

[@FatackYT]

@@LumaTouch Did you finish the work?

[@Mr.PAPO2k]

It would be nice if we had the option to move the key gram it self just like PR and AE

[@LumaTouch]

That's something we're looking into right now with Advanced Keyframing. We'll have more updates once it's ready to release. Thanks!

[@bySterling]

Curious can easing effects be added to zooming so it’s not so linear?

[@LumaTouch]

You can add keyframes to the scale and position to simulate a zoom that's moving. You can also add several other effects, like a blur that focuses as you approach.

[@pjakpaita1]

When are your live trainings? Dates?

[@LumaTouch]

We don't have a set calendar, but please keep your eyes on our social media--Facebook and Instagram, which is where we announce upcoming live trainings as well as new features and updates. Thanks for your interest.

[@eaglemedia19]

There is also something wrong with the MB algorythm on your example video. See the "Keyframing" (or the black bars before) insert.

[@LumaTouch]

Thanks.

[@GudieveNing]

Can you do speed ramping with keyframes on Android Fusion? I am sure this wasn't possible on iPad Fusion in early 2023 when I last used it.

[@LumaTouch]

It's possible to do speed ramping with keyframes on either platform, but this is currently a manual operation, as opposed to a button and a slider kind of implementation. This is a longstanding request and I can assure you we're working on implementing some exciting stuff in this area.

[@tommitchell2595]

Is there a way to take a vertically shot video and crop it to be horizontal? I can do it in other editors, but want to take the video and pan down on it but fill the whole frame.

[@LumaTouch]

Hi there, and thanks for writing. There IS--the quickest way is to first open the Help & Settings tab and select the 16:9 aspect ratio for your project, so you have a horizontal frame to work in. Next, open the desired clip in the Frame and Fit editor, and tap/press the Fit Mode tab, then select the "Fill" option. This will grow your 9:16 (portrait) video so that a 16:9 (landscape) section in the middle of it is centered in the 16:9 frame. If you'd like more flexibility on which portion of the frame you wish to highlight, just use the Frame and Fit editor's Size & Position controls to grow and position the clip until the portion you like. Here is a section of our User Guide that covers this: lumatouch.clickhelp.co/articles/#!lumafusion-reference-guide-publication/fit-mode/q/frame%2520and%2520fit%2520aspect/qp/1/qid/38055/qid/38056 Happy editing!

[@eduardoalarcon6843]

Once a keyframe is created can it be moved from position on the time line? Thanks

[@LumaTouch]

Not yet but that will be a feature added with Advanced Keyframes, which we're currently working on.

[@wasimmerihrwollt]

Great explanation1 How can I synchronise different actions like colour grading, zooming etc.on the same keyframes without having to do it manually?

[@LumaTouch]

That's not currently a feature in LumaFusion but we can have the development team look into it. Thanks for the suggestion!

[@wasimmerihrwollt]

👍

[@elijahgavin6706]

How do I begin a color and effects keyframe for the tabs that do not have an “original” (unmodified) starting point? I want to make a progressive “bump” animation using key frames, but when I apply “bump” to make the keyframe button visible on iOS and add the keyframe starting point, this applies the effect immediately and I can’t start the effect from original.

[@LumaTouch]

Apply the bump effect, then look to the bottom left of the editor and you'll see the circular keyframe icon. Add a keyframe and bring the bump radius all the way down. Then, move along the clip, add another keyframe and change the radius of the bump. Keep going as you like. Enjoy!

[@Dave610Jones]

Is there a way to change the angle of a video in its position? In other words I want to rotate the video 25° and put four of them side-by-side but they’re not playing on the angle they’re playing normal but the video container shape of each video is rotated at the 25°. I hope I explain that correctly. Thanks!

[@LumaTouch]

This should be possible. We might need to see an example of the problem in order to assist. Would you please send an email to [e-mail]? We'll assign you some 1:1 assistance.

[@truthseeker6804]

problem with keyframes. if the video is long like 2 hours, and the keyframes are close, its hard to click inbetween two keyframes to add extra, because the clicking snaps to one of the existing keyframe. if its possible to expand the keyframe region would help,

[@LumaTouch]

This is something we're addressing right now in development with Advanced Keyframes. Once that feature is released, you'll have a much easier time with these larger clips. In the meantime, you could trim down the clip into sections you need to add keyframes to. That should give you more precision. It's not a perfect solution but may help until Advanced Keyframes is complete.

[@lamarrion]

Ok. So set the key frames first and then make the effect changes?

[@LumaTouch]

You could try working that way and see if you like it.

[@GobsCOD10]

Y’all should add 1 thing called “rsmb/motion blur”

[@LumaTouch]

Thanks for the idea. We'll add a note to the wishlist. 👍

Can you key from a Title. I wanted to increase its size to make a point but when I click on the “T” for title and not frame and fit editor. Keyframe dots are not available anymore

You could export the title on it's own, maybe with a transparent background. You could then import the media and use keys.

@@LumaTouch Thanks. Easy-In to Easy-Out [S] is a must for any NLE system. The video (and audio) looks (sounds) terrible without it. It's the same for the inserts and overlay images.
