LumaFusion, a popular Apple iOS and macOS video editing app, has finally rolled out to Android and ChromeOS, following an early access beta in November 2023. You can expect editing features like a green screen and chroma key VFX effects, colour correction tools, a magnetic timeline, and more.

LumaTouch didn't just port the app over to Android. The developer noted that it assembled a team of "experienced Android developers" to recreate the LumaFusion specifically for the platforms. It's been optimized to take advantage of the unique capabilities of Chromebooks and Android phones and tablets. LumaFusion costs $39.99. If you bought the cheaper beta version, you won't need to pay extra for this full release.

ChromeOS might introduce customizable keyboard shortcuts

Screenshot: Ars Technica

It looks like Google is testing a way for Chromebook users to set custom keyboard shortcuts. About Chromebooks' Kevin Tofel found a currently non-functional keyboard shortcut editor in the ChromeOS 111 beta that is accessible by enabling flags with names like "enable-shortcut-customization-app" and "improved-keyboard-shortcuts."

The screen looks like it's accessible through the Settings app. And it shows a list of shortcuts you can use across the operating system and the default keybindings for them. This experimental version allows you to add alternative shortcuts. But it doesn't seem to work for now. Another hint that this option is coming is that you can reset the defaults for a specific shortcut or all shortcuts. There have been hints about this feature before but it looks like this beta version is the best iteration. Hopefully, it rolls out widely soon.
