Lumen5 is an AI video creation platform specialising in converting written content — blog posts, articles, and scripts — into social media video automatically. The AI reads the text, identifies key points, selects relevant stock footage from a large library, and assembles a video with text overlays and music. This blog-to-video workflow is particularly useful for content marketing teams that produce articles and want to repurpose them as social media video without manual video production. The template library covers common social media video formats. At $29/month for Basic, Lumen5 is accessible for content marketing teams.
Lumen5 runs as video generation model software built around text and video workflows. Users typically start with a prompt, upload, or connected data source, and the underlying model handles the heavy lifting before returning a result you can refine or export. It's available on web.
