This could be a tip but first a question. I just restored two images to a template I made for my "Video Stories" series on YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL ... qIocP1EI91) all recorded on an iPhone 7 Plus and edited entirely using LumaFusion. Wanting to have this template on my iPhone as well as on my iPad Mini, I archived the template to a project archive and then downloaded the archive to my iPhone. When I opened the "new" project template all of the clips and titles were there as were two images I had used under some titles. These images, however, were not in my iPhone's camera roll as they were on my iPad. Are these images and other clips now somehow in the LumaFusion app as assets?

Tip: if this the case, this seems to be a way to avoid the "missing media" warning when you inadvertently delete a resource being used in a LumaFusion project.

Hello billbooz

Yes, when you import media into LumaFusion it is copied to folders within the LumaFusion app, not the Photos app.

One thing to know about this is, if you ever delete the app from your iPhone (or iPad), then all those imported files will be deleted as well.
If you want to keep media and other files long term, then it would be useful to use an external storage device such as sandisk iXpand devices or similar.

Thanks for the confirmation, Androu! Yes, I do use a SanDisk iXpand drive for moving files and, when traveling, story clips, etc. I don't usually have many projects active for long, but for those templates I've built and from which I have accidentally removed assets "living" in the Photos app, this is a nice way to protect them from my stupidity!

Androu, since deleting an application is used with the purposes of troubleshooting, it will be useful to add a separate switch to the application settings for backup of all saved user presets to iCloud.
Or the ability to export a complete archive of all user presets at once.

Hello lumaluke

interesting idea, like having an option to archive any and all presets to somewhere. I like that idea.

will add it to the database
