Lumen5 Reviews & Product Details

The best thing I like with this application is that, it is so easy to make a video just entering the text, also it auto pics all the images for the video based on the textual content. In addition, you can also upload the images from the outside and upload them within this application for making the video. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

To be honest I am using the trial version of this application and within it there are lots of limitations like you can not upload voiceover and also it contains watermark within the video created with it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is a very easy tool to create social media videos from Web blog articles or text. I use to to create a video preview of my blog posts and share it on social media platforms. I like the AI technology that helps to create videos automatically using relevant motion videos from it's library. Ability to add intro, outro and logo is also a great feature.

I just love the way lumen5 works and creates videos with ease, nothing for me to dislike in this software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use this to amplify our content marketing efforts and easily turn blog posts into easy-to-digest videos. The vast library of stock video and audio makes it easy to achieve professional results. I can create a video from a blog post in under an hour. I can also create video content from a web page, which is great for my small business website. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The pricing structure is quite steep.

I'm not convinced that the method for automatically pulling the best quotes is that helpful. I often end up cleaning the board and starting from scratch.

And finally, some brands may also worry that their content will look very similar to others if they stick with the pre-made templates. This hasn't been an issue for me yet, but it could become an issue in the future as I create more content. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Lumen5 is an online tool that allows you to edit videos in different formats for social media, and it can even sync directly with YouTube to upload them directly to this platform. Lumen5 is very simple to use; you only need to copy the link of the article that will be converted into a video, or upload the text directly.

After doing this, Lumen5 will organize the text in each segment of the video, and you just need to review it, adjust it, personalize it, and a couple of minutes later you can have a video ready to upload to social media. This tool includes a large number of customization options for the videos, as you can change the type of text, its color, and its location in the video, and you can also add images, videos, and music.

Another thing I like about Lumen5 is that it includes a library of royalty-free images, videos, and music, so by using it I ensure that I won't receive copyright penalties on any of the social networks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Although Lumen5 includes a large number of customization options, somehow they seem to be limited, so eventually all the videos end up looking similar. However, Lumen5 allows me to edit videos quickly for my audience, so it remains a great option. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I personally use this particular application to enhance our content promotion initiatives and simply turn blog posts into great videos. The vast library of stock video and audio makes it easy to achieve expert results. I can create a video clip from the blog post in just a few minutes, that is great for my own company Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The costs are fairly high. Also, it takes huge time in rendering the final videos. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love editing quick videos for social media, especially if they serve as a way to take my articles to another level, and I can do this with Lumen5 without any problems. Lumen5 is an excellent video editor that is simple to use. It has many customization options and allows you to modify each frame of the video to suit my creative criteria.

Lumen5 has a media library with royalty-free images, videos, and audio, so I can unleash my creativity without having copyright issues, and without the hassle of searching for files in other third-party media libraries. I can add different types of text, such as titles, quotes, and phrases to each sequence of the video when I deem it necessary, and customize their placement in the video, the colors, and more.

With Lumen5, editing videos stopped being a headache for me; in just a few minutes, I can have a video ready with the right dimensions for any social network, and then all that's left is to share it and make my audience happy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When a link or an article is uploaded to Lumen5 to convert it into a video, it automatically takes fragments to convert into video, and sometimes it takes exactly the parts that I am not interested in bringing to the audiovisual plane, so I have to review everything carefully. However, most of the time, this automated function of Lumen5 helps me save time, so I love it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to use just copy in text and publish it, or you can upload your videos. you can improve your audience engagement, very easily with video and this just delivers. The dashboard is clear and enables you to very easily find your projects to edit and reuse when necessary. You can also easily and your branding to the system ensuring that your content is on-brand all the time. The videos, once rendered are easy to save to your system and in return upload to your chosen network. I like that is will also scan your website for updates and create new content automatically for you to share saving lots of time along the way. This software just does what you need it to and is easy to use, we implemented it within an hour and created our first video within 5 mins of set up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The free version can be a bit clunky and I take a bit of time to edit. It does not always import the text you think would be most useful and some of the free video's are a bit cheesy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A lot of software these days is bogged down with tons and tons of menus and dropdowns and features you will never use. (I'm looking at you, Excel...)

And then you have some apps that just launched and you spend a lot of time trying to figure out how to do something, only to realize the app doesn't have that feature yet.

Lumen 5 is a shining example of an app being "barebones with a purpose."

It is not bogged down with tons of things you will never use. Nor is it missing features that you need.

It is the perfect example of an app built for a very specific purpose — to quickly put together eye-catching videos for use on social media — and it succeeds tremendously.

The minute you sit down to use Lumen 5, you will be able to start using it and creating videos that get your content seen. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing - literally nothing.

It's a new app undergoing a ton of active development, which sounds like it might be a nightmare, but NOT SO!

I have written to support to report bugs and they not only reply quickly -- they actually fix the problem within days! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Lumen5 allows you to create really simple videos for Youtube, PR and Social Media. In terms of putting a simple video together with limited experience it's far more user friendly than almost any other tool that I've used.

The features that allow you to directly connect an RSS feed is really well done and generally returns good videos. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Lumen5 is a really simple tool, so compared many other video editing tools, you're limited in terms of what you can achieve. Limited for text, transitions and features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
