LumaFusion first announced it would be coming to Android and ChromeOS in October 2021 before eventually launching in beta a year later. The full-featured video editor was a hit on iOS thanks to its powerful editing features which, as our Damien Wilde explained, feels close to the experience Apple delivers with Final Cut Pro on macOS.
LumaFusion is the closest experience to the immensely popular Final Cut Pro that many Mac owners swear by. It has been on iOS and iPad since 2016 and is often found at the top of the App Store charts. It truly is a fantastic mobile video editing suite that deserves all of the plaudits it has received since launching.

Today’s full launch of LumaFusion for Android and ChromeOS brings the “full LumaFusion experience” to users, as well as the full cost. The price of the video editor will now be $29.99, up from the $19.99 price that was in place during beta. Those who have already purchased the app won’t have to pay up for the full version, though.
As before, LumaFusion is available through both the Google Play Store and the Samsung Galaxy Store, though the latter restricts the purchase solely to Samsung’s devices, whereas a purchase on Google Play allows installation on ChromeOS as well as Android devices.
