The file you have

What LumaFusion gives you, and what to export.

Project: Lives inside LumaFusion; it is not a file you can upload.
Export for transcription: Share/Export the project as a movie (MP4 or MOV), or as audio only for a smaller file.
Where it lands: Photos or the Files app, whichever destination you picked.
Typical size: An hour of 1080p video is 1–3 GB; as audio it is under 110 MB.

There is no link to paste for this one. Get the file onto your phone or computer first, then upload it in the box above.

How it works

Three steps, the first one is the only one that takes any thought.

Export from LumaFusion

Export the project to Files (or Photos) as a movie or audio only.

Upload from the same device

Open this page in Safari on the iPad or iPhone and pick the file from Files or Photos.

Use the captions

Download SRT or VTT and upload it with the video on YouTube, Vimeo or your course platform.

Good to know

What trips people up, and what to do about it.

Large exports and mobile data: upload over Wi-Fi, and keep the page open until the upload finishes.
Captions made with LumaFusion's titler are burned into the picture, so a separate SRT is still useful for platforms that want a caption file.
Audio only is the faster upload from a phone and gives the same transcript.
Export after the final cut so caption timings match the published video.

Example. A 18-minute vlog edited in LumaFusion on an iPad is exported audio-only to Files. The upload from Safari takes seconds and the transcript is back in under a minute for the YouTube description and SRT.

What comes back

More than a wall of text.

The same four things for every LumaFusion recording, whatever its length.

A transcript with timestamps

Every line carries its time. Click a line to hear that second again, or search a name or phrase and jump to each place it was said.

A summary, chapters and key quotes

A brief with the takeaways, chapters with their start times, and the quotes worth keeping. Speakers are identified and named in the summary, key quotes and chapters.

Questions answered from the recording

Ask where a topic came up or what was decided, and get the answer with the time it was said, instead of scrolling the whole text.

Every export

TXT, DOCX, SRT, VTT, JSON from the same transcript: a document to edit, caption files for video, plain text to paste, structured data for your own tools.

Pricing

Free preview. Packs from $4, and the minutes never expire.

An 18-minute vlog is 18 minutes, so the $4 pack (300 minutes) covers it 16 times over. Every recording gets a free preview, and in 31 countries, or for recordings of an hour or more in most others, a summary you can read before paying; a pack opens the full transcript and every export. Packs are one-time purchases with no subscription and no seat fee.

FAQ

LumaFusion to text, answered.

Can I transcribe a LumaFusion project without a computer?

Yes. Export it to Files or Photos and upload it from Safari on the same iPad or iPhone.

Should I export video or audio only?

Audio only when the transcript is the goal; it is the same text in a much smaller file.

Can I bring the SRT into LumaFusion?

LumaFusion does not document SRT import. Upload the SRT alongside the video where you publish it instead.

What does transcribing LumaFusion recordings cost?

The preview is free, and so is the summary in 31 countries or for recordings of an hour or more. A pack opens the full transcript: $4 for 300 minutes, $18 for 3,000 minutes, $32 for 6,000 minutes. Packs are one-time, credits never expire, and Workspace is $19 a month if you transcribe every week.

How long can the recording be?

One file can run up to 10 hours or 5 GB. The box on this page takes files up to 500 MB; a larger file continues on the main upload page, which uploads it in parts. Most recordings come back in about two minutes per hour of audio.

Is the recording kept private?

Recordings are transcribed on our own servers and are never used for training. You can delete a recording and its transcript at any time.
