Lumen5

What it does

Lumen5 is an AI video maker that turns written material such as blog posts, articles, PDFs, or bullet points into video. You start from your source content and edit the resulting scenes with drag-and-drop tools, without needing a script or video-editing background.

People use it to repurpose existing content for marketing, communications, and education. Built-in brand controls help keep videos on brand across creators, and a Creative Services team can build a bespoke template to enforce brand requirements. An API is also available for developers.

Lumen5 is aimed at marketers, publishers, brands, and business teams that want video without technical expertise. Sign-up is free, and enterprise buyers can request a demo. Free-tier limits and enterprise terms are set out on the pricing page, so check there before committing.
