A great product **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Naga S. | Partner, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 27, 2025 **What do you like best about Lumen5?** I love their Text to to Video feature. It allowed me to create something almost tremendously useful when I tried the free version. This is after spending a lot of time. I loved the way their scene composition worked. I like the edit feature of the script. While it is time consuming, this is way better than working with a professional marketing firm and the cycle time. I like their customer engagement approach. I had the privilege to talk to the founder with the feedback call. He pointed me in the right direction. That is what I call, "white glove service" **What do you dislike about Lumen5?** Murphy's law struck me. Right when I needed the video, I ran into "we are working on it. Please try in an hour" **What problems is Lumen5 solving and how is that benefiting you?** My entire Voiceover was a night mare and would not have been able to come up with something this useful ### 2.

Improvements keep being made, such as adding AI voices, AI scripts and AI editing. Videos are easy to switch between wide, square and tall formats to suit different social platforms. Customer support is quick, though rarely needed. Since Lumen5 is cloud-based, implementation is easy regardless of your hardware. **What do you dislike about Lumen5?** Lumen5 restricts some features like Custom AI Voice to the Enterprise plan, which makes them unavailable to small business users. **What problems is Lumen5 solving and how is that benefiting you?** Creating professional videos consistently isn't easy for small businesses due to the time required.

Decent video creation tool, but sometimes frustrating to use **Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Financial Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 18, 2024 **What do you like best about Lumen5?** I like that it formats text so it's aligned, lets you add custom music and images, and lets you customize the time for each slide. The videos always look very polished and professional. I also like the social media webinars that Lumen5 occasionally offers. The few times I've reached out to the support team, they have been very kind and helpful. **What do you dislike about Lumen5?** Increasingly, Lumen5 has been frustrating to deal with because of new features that can't be turned off. For instance, you used to be able to upload custom text and create slides the way you want to. Though it was cumbersome to sometimes delete the slides automatically created using the platform's AI system, you could still edit the slides and the source text relatively easily. Now, it seems like this isn't possible anymore, and you have to use whatever their AI thinks sounds good. It's hard to explain, but I don't have the same degree of control in the final product as in the past. Also, despite saving a brand template with custom colors, font, layout, dimensions, etc., I have never been able to start a video from scratch using the template. It never looks how it's supposed to, and it takes more time to correct this. As a workaround, I've duplicated existing videos and removed all the text, background photos, etc. This makes everything more time-consuming when the program should simplify the process. Also, I wish we could have more control over how many seconds to spend on subscenes. **What problems is Lumen5 solving and how is that benefiting you?** It allows me to create videos to go along with a blog, adding visual interest on social media. ### 5. a fantastic tool to create your video **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Pasquale M. | Information Technology and Services, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 11, 2023 **What do you like best about Lumen5?** the drive through process to create engaging video, a very complete marketplace for photos, videos and template to create your video **What do you dislike about Lumen5?** the free templates are not really fantastic, many videos, templates, icons or pics are premium, so in the free version you have some limits **What problems is Lumen5 solving and how is that benefiting you?** the video creation process wizard is really amazing, super simple even for people that never did a video before Lumen5 ### 6.

It's easy to drop it into Lumen5 and let the app create bites of video stitched together in an intelligent way. It often picks creative assets for video and images that match what the text is talking about. It's normally spot on... but it is also easy to search and drop in alternative creative assets. **What do you dislike about Lumen5?** There aren't any downsides. Occasionally I've hit a bug but I let them know and they fix those small issues in a day or two.
