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.

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.

It's very easy to write a short story over a video, and produce different format of the same video.
