Lumen5 Reviews

What I like most about Lumen5 is how easy it makes creating videos simple. When you want to turn the content of a website into a video for easy presentation, Lumen5 helps you do this with a few simple steps.

Although it is a very useful and easy-to-use app, we have to understand that it has major limitations when it comes to creating and editing videos. Don't expect to do any super production here and everything will be fine.

Lumen5 is the best video making software compared to others. Because it is easy and less expensive to use. Anyone can easily open and start making videos for any type of business it doesn't matter you are making videos for Facebook, youtube, TikTok or LinkedIn you can make professional looking videos in minutes. You can easily paste your blog URL and it will crawl your page and make a video according to it.Lumen5 is power by Ai.Inside you get million of free video for your business.

In this app, I think there are not any cons.

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.

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.

Lumen5 is so flipping easy to use! That is what I like most about the software. I also like the fact of how powerful making these videos for your posts can be. You are able to make videos not off of a post as well and just on the fly. This is very helpful when making a little promo or explainer video.

I do know that there are other competitors that are emerging since the release of Lumen5. I am just hoping that they stay ahead of the curve and continue to develop the software further and add more features.

I had to spend hours on creating video content for my business. Lumen5 has optimized my time, now I'm able to create videos from posts in 5 minutes. I also have access to a wide range oh high quality images

The subscription is pricey. It will improve if templates and more text style options are added. Also, Video recording should be supported too.

It has a lot of options and makes small videos easily from existing blogs or new articles. Many customizations available

More templates would have been better, plus the stock videos and images can sometimes be not free and cost extra

I love Lumen5 for short videos and animated videos for my social media clients. It truly is easy to easy and has a great user interface!

I usually do not like to complain about prices but Lumen5 is pricey! Starting at $19/month, on top of other services that I pay for as a marketing consultant, this seems a bit steep!

This platform was my first choice for creating video content. The possibilities are good but sometimes limited in terms of design. The template has already predetermined the position of the letters, and there is no drag and drop, only a choice of corner or center. An excellent option if you are not bothered by the sense of detail. There is a possibility that within one template, a slide can replace a different design. The library has a satisfying choice of media.

If you are a paid account user above the Basic plan, there are many opportunities to ease your work, but on the Free & Basic, it's not the case. You can't change colors or add a logo. Media content availability inside a platform is provided within account features. If the creator wants any customization or quality images and videos, have to choose the Starter plan. In my opinion, it's too expensive.

Lumen was the first online video production site that made me wonder why I did things manually for so long. Easy to use, extensive stock images and video clips, audio and the ability to create something that looks professional.

The blog post video creation. Not something I would use but it may come in useful for other people.

At the risk of sounding dramatic, Lumen5 was a gamechanger. While I typically don't use the blog-to-video feature as much, it's really cool and lets you create videos for social media easily - even for those without experience in video editing software. Engagement on my clients' social media account has gone way up since I started using more video.

The ONLY issue I have is when uploading your own video footage, sometimes the "timing" seems off as it's based on the amount of text, and consequently, the video almost flickers for a moment. However, this is very trivial and definitely not anything to worry about - I don't think most people would notice.

It has a very wide variety of HD videos and images. They also have them frequently updtated unlike other competitors whose videos look old-fashioned and very generic. Whenever I add a video from Lumen5 into a website, my clients love how they look.

The fact that sometimes the videos are downloaded in a 720p quality instead of 1080p. But that is not something that happens a lot.

I really like how easy Lumen5 use to use to create awesome video

I dislike the pricing. I had access to Lumen5 via appsumo for 1 year.

I love the ease of use and streamlined way they've set up the dashboard when creating videos. I like that there are so many options for music and that you can pull slides in to create content.

I didn't like that the maximum length of a video is 5 minutes. I know it's for social media but I'd like to be able to use it to create longer tutorials for YouTube. I also don't like that the version I purchased through AppSumo has a watermark at the end of the videos.

As a small local business, it can be hard sometimes to find a good product that meets all your expectations for a lower budget. Lumen5 has made us loads of successful advertising campaigns that took less then a few minutes to set up. Absolutely amazing piece of software!

Personally I love the product the way it is, but it might've been very helpful if there was more ways of personalisation (creating own styles, uploading brand fonts, etc)

The best feature I love is the Text to Video feature because I just need to copy and paste the article URL then Lumen5 will turn it to video

None as of now. I will edit this review if I found something which is not to my liking and affect other users

I really like the fact that Lumen5 helps you tell a story.
In fact it will take any script you give it and translate it into a visual story, in movie format.

It's really smooth, and the AI is impressive. It really knows how to pull the "juicy" parts from any story.
In addition, its a full fledged video story board app. It lets you create your own movies however you want to.

I also like the fact that it will turn my blog RSS into videos for me.

I don't really understand the purpose of having more than one workspace.

I really like when we shifted our content marketing from Blogs to Videos. Lumen5 Made it more simple by just entering the link, It captures the content and the images in the link to create a video.

It sometimes grabs other images in the page and It seems to be a bit overpriced from my standpoint.

So easy to use with a mountain of images and music to choose from. Creating a video has never been easier!

Nothing - it ticks all the boxes. If you want to add your own images and music background you will need a purchased software copy.

Currently subscribed to their Lumen Pro for a year.

Here's my pros:
- auto create videos based on my blog posts.
- have unlimited videos per month
- can export in 720p
- no branding

- Not that cheap
- Sometimes the wrong image gets recommended.
- The rendering is slow at times.

One of the most trusted software for its functionality

Pricing is a little high. There are other software that do the same at a slightly lower price
