Comments on Luminancer - Video Synthesizer for Android
★★★★★
Pretty cool, love using it to edit my videos with my LED hoop to show trails
★★★★★
This makes my LED flow videos look super cool! I love this app!
★★★★★
This app is amazing for my performance art videos! To everyone saying the app isn't saving your videos, it's not saving to gallery like the app says. They're stored in your internal files. Hope that helps!
★★★★★
Finally, for Android! Woohoo!! Seems to work great! Will be using app daily now! So happy
★★☆☆☆
Luminance is no longer working after the 11/2/2020 update for Google phones on verizon. It will take video as normal. The video even looks fine when reviewing in the app. When I try to view the exported video, it only plays the first second then the frame freezes. I emailed Luminance support on November 13 and didn't receive a response.
★★☆☆☆
Limits creativity, lacks technical support, and is definitely not worth paying for. There's a disappointingly long-running bug that freezes your phone and doesn't save your videos, and no fix in sight. If you press export more than once, it's done for. There's a saddening lack of effects, as well as types of effects, and most of them just ruin the video anyway. I know its only $3, but it's a legitimate disappointment to have paid for.
★★☆☆☆
App won't save videos, I keep getting an error message "there was a problem processing the video".
