Well you have requested a tutorial on how to use luma fusion but I wanted to
wait until luma fusion 2.0 came out so that's what we're gonna do here today
and I'm gonna be using this on an iPad it looks practically identical on an
iPhone it's just the iPad has a little bit of a bigger screen but if you really
want a luma fusion tutorial on an iPhone hit me up down in the comments let me
know and I'll try to make it happen but today we're gonna dive into the nitty
gritty details of using luma fusion on the iPad step-by-step to edit your
YouTube video so this is a beginner's guide to luma fusion and if creating and
editing videos for YouTube in social media is your jam - then welcome to the
vid from um YouTube channel I invite you to hit that subscribe button tap the
Bell notification I am using my iPad Mini here and since it's not compatible
with the Apple pencil I am gonna be using this stylus let me show it to you
it's not necessary to use a stylus I think it's just easier for editing it's
just a little bit easier than using your finger so let's dive in okay let's dive
right into luma fusion now my iPad is up to date and we my fusion is up to date
as of this recording so we should be good to go here I'm just going to tap it
to open it up I have a completely blank slate here first thing that we want to
do is create our first project so I'm gonna hit that plus button I'm going to
tap my project and we're gonna call this will say video 1 so we can set our
settings here right off the bat my frame rate is going to be 30 you see that
there are a bunch of different options there depending on what you want to do
we do want the landscape frame aspect so this 16 to 9 ratio if you're gonna do
something for IG TV or instagrams story something vertical you have that option
and you have all these other options as well we're gonna stick with the
landscape because this is going to be a YouTube video so once you have your
settings set and you have your project names you're gonna hit that
plus button on the top right and we have a completely blank timeline so the first
thing we need to do is import our footage into luma fusion you do have to
have your footage on your iPad or you know accessible on your iPad so first
off we need to get that media into luma fusion I'm gonna hit this top menu here
kind of in the middle there's a little down arrow and you'll get to a whole
list of sources where you can import your media you have Dropbox Google Drive
lots of different options there I should have something here inside of my iTunes
file share so I'm going to select that and when you hit that another down arrow
here now this particular clip is going to be pretty short but I'll be able to
show you everything you need to learn about women fusion with just this short
clip so here's our file on the left hand side if I select it then I it shows up
in the preview window and I can use my stylus or my finger to kind of scroll
through and see what we're working with here you can also see the waveforms a
little bit now there's a couple different ways you could import this to
your timeline but that's the first thing we need to do we need to get this file
down onto the lower half of the screen where our timeline is so normally what I
would do is just add the entire thing to the timeline and then chop it up trim it
cut it rearrange it and we'll get to that in a second but if you know that
you just have one little section that you're going to use you can bring your
those orange yellow orange bars in and just select this portion and drop that
portion into the timeline and to do that I have it selected there's a down arrow
on the right hand side I'll highlight it for you here if you tap that it's going
to just add it right down to the timeline you can see we have that blue
bar you can see the waveforms if you take your two fingers you can do the
pinch and zoom and if you take one finger you can move along your timeline
here and kind of scrub along as you go so that you can
kind of check things out here so the other way of importing clips let me just
delete this would be to take this entire clip and bring the whole thing down into
the timeline like this so we have this one clip you can definitely see the
waveforms which I use those waveforms as a visual cue of where I'm talking and
where I'm just looking at my notes or trying to figure out what I'm supposed
to say on the bottom of the app there's a couple of controls in in different
settings there's this one here that will show you and display your different
tracks here so we only have the one track happening but if you wanted to
mute that track or make it invisible you have that option there and if you don't
want it to take up space on your screen you can make it go away there's also the
audio indication here which you can make adjustments but again this takes up
space on the screen so that's where you can access them but then you can make
them go away if you need to have more space on your screen and then I'm gonna
select this file here on the timeline and you'll see that we have a few other
options in in the center area down at the bottom so the first one is a
duplication button which just takes the selected clip and duplicates it I'm
gonna delete that I'm gonna select that again the next one over is going to
separate your audio from your visual and if we do that that means that you can
then edit your audio track separately from your video track there are a few
other options under here but one I really want to show you this is an
important one and you see that this is giving me a warning here it says it's
not compatible it's fine we're gonna be we're gonna be fine but the little
scissor icon right here is gonna split your clip wherever that
blue time indicator bar is so you can see here I'm talking and then I'm not
talking of course you can't hear the audio but that's okay and right here we
want to split that so that we can get rid of this middle part where I'm just
making faces at my notes so that middle section is selected I can hit the
trashcan and get rid of it and then it just pulls those clips together like
this now I'm actually gonna hit undo and we're gonna actually use this and
pretend that it's b-roll in just a little bit so the other way that you
could trim your Clips is by just pulling the end so you can see the waveforms
here on this one you can see where I sort of stopped talking and I say
goodbye right so if I just grab the end of this and drag it over that will trim
the very end off of that particular clip now what if you have b-roll to go on top
of this talking head footage I'm gonna pretend that me making these faces is my
b-roll I'm going to trim this up a little bit if I take this and just bring
it out I can put it anywhere I want on my timeline and create another layer
create another track here so I'll still be talking in the background and then
it's going to cut in with this b-roll and you'll notice the B roll clip still
has the audio there it's just pretty low because I'm not talking so you may want
to mute that by hitting that little speaker icon that will mute the entire
track and you can actually create multiple tracks here and honestly you
can get as complicated as you want let's take this you can pull it up and make
even another track on top here so you've imported your clips made some cuts made
some trims added in some b-roll what if you wanted to do transitions now I
typically don't do very many elaborate transitions with my footage but
you do have the opportunity to do this here inside of luma fusion so what we
need to do is find a place where we have a split clip here so you can see this is
just a jump cut I'm going from here to here not that big of a transition but
we're gonna select one side of this transition here and right below that
there's a plus button on that bottom menu we're going to tap that we have a
couple things here a voiceover transition blank clip main title overlay
title we're gonna choose transition obviously and it just gives us this
cross dissolve so if we see what it looks like here we have the one clip is
dissolving out while the other clip dissolves in if I hit play we'll see in
real time if we wanted to make it not as slow we could just shorten it up a
little bit by trimming the ends there like that so that's how you can add your
transitions and you saw that we also have the ability to add a title let me
come back over here to the beginning so I'm gonna hit that plus button again I'm
gonna choose overlay title and you can see it just gives us a plain title here
so I'm going to select that and to open the title menu just double tap on that
title clip this opens a whole bunch of options for our titles so we can make it
be something completely different down here we can change let's see
change the color let's go back to the style we can make it angled we can do so
many different things here's a lower left-hand side lower third so we have
two texts that we need to update so you have these little menus down here you
can change the opacity you can change the font let's see let's do this
one you can change the size and then you can change whether it's left adjusted
center or right so you can change all these different things with the font
typeface here and if you wanted to change and put your actual text in here
then you just select it on the screen and put in your text I think I'm gonna
hide this one down here in fact I'm going to select that top one and move it
down here a little bit and you can see we have these different styles here
there's a lot of different things that you could do here to get creative and I
could probably do an entire tutorial but that'll get you started there are the
basic functions of creating that title and in this title acts just like a
regular clip just like a regular video clip so you can adjust the length and
you know going either direction so there you have it now there are so many other
features of luma fusion 2.0 it's such a robust editing platform but this will
get you started these are the basics now if you're done editing and you have
everything you want to have in there on the bottom right hand side there is the
up arrow and if I hit that we're going to be able to share or export it so what
we're going to do is we're gonna select movie and it wants us to choose a
destination so I'm gonna choose probably just my photos and this is where we have
our settings our export settings so this is going to be a 1080p with 30 frames
per second video standard video quality I think is fine I'm just gonna stick
with all of the normal stuff here but what's really cool is it gives you the
stats on how much space this sportive video is going to take up on
your iPad which i think is great so if you're happy with your settings your
export settings just hit this up arrow again and it's going to export this
video for you and when it's done exporting you can close out of luma
fusion open up your Photos app and then you'll have that video right there
inside of your photos where you can then hit the share icon you can add it to
Dropbox you could upload it directly to social media right from here or share it
with your desktop via iCloud or files but it's right here inside of your
photos on your iPad now that you know how to edit your YouTube videos with
luma fusion I want to let you know about the social video blueprint which is my
