Turns written content into video fast, but real 1080p output means paying more than the headline price.

What it does

Sample subheading — replace

Lumen5 takes a blog post, article, or script and builds a video around it automatically, matching stock footage and images to your text and adding animated captions. You can then edit the draft, swap clips, or start over from a blank template instead.

The content repurposing angle is the main reason marketers use it. If your team already writes blog posts or newsletters, Lumen5 turns that existing writing into a video asset for social or YouTube without a separate production step.

The pricing undersells itself. The $29 a month Basic plan removes the watermark but still caps output at 720p, and you actually need the $59 a month Starter plan for 1080p, custom branding, and a fuller stock libra

Who this helps

Sample subheading — replace

• A content marketer who already produces blog posts and wants a video version without extra writing.

• A small team turning newsletter content into short social videos on a recurring schedule.

• Someone testing whether text-to-video content performs before investing in a full production workflow.

• Not a fit for anyone needing sharp 1080p on a tight budget, since that requires the higher tier.
