Lumen5
Turns blog posts and scripts into polished marketing videos automatically.
About
Lumen5 is an AI video maker that converts text — blog URLs, articles, scripts, bullet points — into finished videos: its AI picks layouts, stock footage, music, and captions, then you refine scenes in a drag-and-drop editor with AI voiceovers, multilingual translation, and brand-kit controls. Reviewers consistently note its templates look more corporate and professional than consumer rivals, which is why B2B marketing teams keep choosing it for LinkedIn-style content.
The pricing is the sore spot: a free tier covers a handful of watermarked videos per month, and paid plans start around $29/month scaling steeply ($79 Starter, $199 Professional) for what remains a single-purpose tool — no social scheduling, no graphic design, no AI caption writing. Template-based output can also feel repetitive without manual tweaking, and exports top out at 1080p.
