LumaFusion Masterclass - 2021

Welcome to the LumaFusion Masterclass – 2021 Edition (REMASTERED). This is a fully remastered version of my original LumaFusion training course, updated with cleaner audio, a restructured lesson order, and clearer chapter flow — while preserving the core editing principles that still apply today.

These lessons were originally recorded in 2021 using an earlier version of LumaFusion. While the interface has evolved since then, the fundamentals of editing — timing, flow, pacing, structure, and decision-making — remain exactly the same.

This course focuses on teaching you how to think like an editor, not just where buttons live in the UI.

Free Sample Lesson: J Cuts & L Cuts

Below is a complete lesson taken directly from the course. This is not a teaser — it’s a full, practical breakdown of one of the most important editing techniques used in film, TV, and online video.

If this lesson clicks for you, the rest of the course builds on the same approach — clear explanations, real examples, and techniques you can immediately apply.

What You’ll Learn

• How professional editors think about flow, timing, and continuity.
• The difference between cuts that feel abrupt and cuts that feel invisible.
• How to structure sequences so edits feel intentional rather than accidental.
• How to use tools like J cuts, L cuts, speed changes, reverses, and transitions with purpose.
• How colour, motion, audio, and pacing work together to support a story.
• How to avoid common beginner mistakes that make edits feel amateur.

This is not a feature walkthrough. It’s a course about editing judgement.

Course Structure

The course has been reorganised into four clear chapters for this remastered release:

• Chapter 1 – Editing Foundations
  Understanding flow, continuity, and how cuts affect perception.
• Chapter 2 – Timeline Techniques
  J cuts, L cuts, trimming, sequencing, and timing decisions.
• Chapter 3 – Motion, Speed & Visual Flow
  Reversing clips, speed control, and shaping movement across edits.
• Chapter 4 – Colour, Effects & Finishing
  Basic grading, LUTs, blurs, chroma keying, and visual polish.

Total runtime: approximately 3.5 hours of focused training.

What’s Been Updated

• All audio has been remastered for clarity and consistency.
• Lessons have been reordered into a clearer learning progression.
• Chapter intros added for easier navigation.
• Cleaner naming and structure across all lessons.

Who This Course Is For

• Editors who want to understand *why* edits work.
• Creators who already use LumaFusion but feel their edits lack flow.
• Beginners who want a strong conceptual foundation.
• Editors considering the 2025 Masterclass and want a solid entry point.

A Note on LumaFusion Versions

This course uses an earlier LumaFusion interface. If you’re looking for a fully up-to-date walkthrough of the current v5.x interface, new tools, and modern workflows, you may also want to explore the LumaFusion Essentials Masterclass 2025.

Many students use this 2021 Edition as a foundation — then upgrade later once the fundamentals are locked in.

By the End of the Course

You’ll have a clearer understanding of how to structure edits, control pacing, and make decisions that improve the feel of your videos — regardless of the tools or version you’re using.
