Lumen5

Lumen5 is an AI video creation platform that converts blog posts, scripts and text into branded videos with stock footage, captions and music. It is aimed at marketing and comms teams that need steady video output without an editor.

Key features

• Paste a URL or text and get an automatic storyboard of scenes.
• Large built-in library of stock video, images and audio.
• Brand kits that lock fonts, colours and logos across every video.
• Automatic captions and formats for social, square and vertical.
• Team workspaces with templates and review workflow.

Who it is for

• Content marketers repurposing blog articles into social video.
• Internal comms teams producing recurring updates at low cost.
• Small businesses without video editing skills or budget.
• Agencies producing volume video for multiple brands.

Pricing

Lumen5 is freemium, with a free plan that watermarks videos at limited resolution, and Basic, Starter, Professional and enterprise plans adding HD or 4K export, brand kits, more stock media and team seats.

Why people choose it

Repurposing is where most content teams lose value, and Lumen5 automates the tedious middle of it: the article is split into scenes, each line is matched with relevant footage, and captions are burned in for silent autoplay feeds. Editors then refine rather than build from zero. Brand kits keep dozens of videos visually consistent even when different people make them, which is exactly the problem that appears once video production is spread across a team. For organisations whose written content already performs, it is the cheapest way to put that content in front of a video-first audience.
