What is Lumen5?
Lumen5 turns blog posts, articles, and scripts into social-media videos with stock visuals, music, and animated text, aimed at small marketing teams and non-designers. The pitch is that video creation should be as easy as writing.
Its templates are formatted for different platforms, and a brand kit feature keeps colors and logos consistent. A free plan exists for casual use, with watermarked output on lower tiers.
