Showcased at IBC 2018, in Amsterdam, the new LumaFusion with Storyblocks integration is finally available, offering editors direct access to a custom Storyblocks media library.

The team behind LumaFusion showed the new version of the app, version 1.7, during IBC 2018, in Amsterdam, but now the video editor for iOS is available for users to download. One of the key elements of the new version is the integration with Storyblocks, which is optional but may well interest content creators. As Luma Touch points out, “as a result of this integration, LumaFusion editors now have direct access to a custom Storyblocks media library filled with hundreds-of-thousands of studio-quality, royalty-free creative assets, including 4K and HD video clips, backgrounds, music, loops and sound effects.”
