Lumen5
Lumen5 turns blog posts, scripts, documents, and ideas into editable branded videos with AI.
Lumen5 helps marketers, publishers, educators, and communications teams create videos from URLs, scripts, PDFs, PowerPoint files, text, or outlines. Its AI can summarize content, generate scripts, select scenes and media, add captions and voiceovers, and apply brand styles.
The web-based editor supports stock media, uploaded assets, templates, translations, voice cloning, talking-head overlays, and collaboration features. A free plan is available; paid plans and extra animation minutes cost more, but the pricing page did not display tier prices during this review.
