About Lumen5

Lumen5 is a video editing and creation solution that helps businesses create promotional, marketing, explainer, educational, and other videos for multiple channels, such as LinkedIn, YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram. It enables staff members to crop, trim, rotate, and resize video content to generate social media-friendly videos.

Lumen5 allows team members to utilize artificial intelligence (AI) technology to automatically create videos with music and visuals for pre-specified layouts. It lets employees access and utilize photos and video or audio clips from the built-in stock library, facilitating video creation processes. Additionally, content creators can customize videos with text, images, logos, fonts, and colors, among other brand information.

Lumen5 enables businesses to integrate the platform with several third-party social media platforms, such as Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and more. It is available on monthly and annual subscriptions and support is extended via live chat, FAQs, community forum, documentation, and other online measures.

Review of Lumen5

Overall I was quite happy with the way Lumen5 worked and with the final product.

Pros:

In general, the software is able to generate videos from scripts quite well. What I like most is that the video clips used do not interfere with the message one is seeking to convey. Editing and advanced editing are also fairly easy.

Cons:

A voice-over feature with readymade voices will be a nice touch to the video creation process.

Reasons for choosing Lumen5

Easier to use and a better finished product.

Not a great value for your money

customer service and response was quick and timely but it's not worth the money in my opinion

Ratings Breakdown

Pros:

The software was pretty easy to use, changing between formats for Facebook to IGTV was simple. If you enter a link/blog piece it would extract the text and create a template video for you to start working with which is good.

Cons:

There are a lot of glitches with the software and it does not allow for customizations. For example, I tried exporting a video numerous times throughout a week and the audio and video was continuously out of sync even after I had reached out to customer support. It also doesn't allow for customizations like increasing the volume of the music. If you want to upload your own video and have music overlay in the background that is not possible which interrupts the flow of the video and taking away from the professionalism. You also can't adjust the amount of text on the screen, or adjust the size of the text, or customize the placement. There are set placements for text (bottom of the screen, top of the screen) And you can't deviate from that. There is a sliding scale for text size so if you want it to be any bigger or smaller than the presets that option is not available. The options for background music are mediocre, some of them are really strange and it takes a lot of work searching through to find a decent soundtrack.

Easy Way to Create Videos From Posts

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Functionality

Pros:

This is a pretty cool and easy way to generate high quality videos from blog posts/existing content. Overall, I like how it scans your content and then lays out a suggested video with images and motion animation. It also allows you to select music to give your videos more depth.

Cons:

Some of the editing features are limited and lacking. This in a way keeps the production process simple and saves time, yet at times can be a bit frustrating when you'd like more options.

Pros:

It's really cool to use Lumen 5 to edit videos and create unique content. The free plan already provides many options to use, I can create videos with images or just texts that I don't appear on. For those who are embarrassed to show up, this is very good. There is an excellent option in Lumen 5 that allows me to capture my Blog content, such as articles and automatically convert it to videos. This saves me a lot of work time. Some people complain about posting something with watermarks, but that doesn't bother me, I think if I'm using something from a brand, it's because it's being useful. So we have more to disclose. I find it very practical to create with this tool, it's totally different from conventional editors, but it's very good and easy to use. I just choose a template and automatically the video is created. This is perfect and saves a lot of time.

Cons:

I have no disagreements with Lumen 5 , a word against this tool is totally unnecessary.

Pros:

I really like Lumen5. It's super easy to use and provides professional like video from just a piece of text. There is no excuse to start a YouTube channel or post videos regularly on social media.

Cons:

It's a bit pricey. I'd also like to see more templates and more animations.

A valuable video tool for teams of any size

This is a great tool! I suggest that anyone - soloprenuers, freelancers, larger teams - try this at least once because you'll quickly see that it's a great addition to your toolkit. We have a full-time video team and we still use this on a regular basis.

Pros:

It is so easy to use, and it is versatile. Great selection of stock footage, super easy to preview and edit, and output quality is high. All around, it's a great way for small teams to quickly create videos but it still scales up for larger teams who can afford to upgrade.

Cons:

Exporting sometimes takes an extremely long time, and you never know when that will happen. It's a little hard if you're up against a deadline and that particular glitch occurs.

Ease of use

Functionality

Pros:

I instantly became a huge fan for this tool because of how easy it is to create Videos for your Content Marketing or Video Creation. Their Machine Learning is great! It automatically customize the duration of a "Slide" to the amount of text you inputted. That's really a time-saver for most of us! I will also going to add the vast amount of customization you can do when you create your own Video, and this sometimes can overwhelm you in a good way. Furthermore, the Stock Images, Text, Audio, etc., is huge! Customize what you need and with their Machine Learning... Videos are rich and amazing.

Cons:

Maybe the duration of the conversion takes long but it produces the best quality so it outweighs the Cons. Customize Search can be improved.
