Lumen5

Lumen5 is a video creation platform that turns written source material into finished marketing video. A user supplies a blog post link, a script or a document, and the system drafts a storyboard, selects stock footage and images, adds captions and applies a brand template. From there the sequence is edited scene by scene in the browser, with no prior video editing experience assumed. It is built for marketing and communications teams that need a steady output of social and promotional video without an agency or a dedicated editor. The platform includes a stock library of photos and video clips, AI image and video generation, more than a thousand AI voices with voice cloning, automated captions, video translation, blueprints and over a hundred templates, and brand kits covering logos, colors, fonts and custom watermarks. Higher tiers add Shutterstock editorial media, multiple workspaces, collaboration, an approval workflow and single sign on. Pricing is published per month on annual billing. Free costs nothing and allows five videos a month at 720p with a two minute limit and a Lumen5 branded outro. Basic is $19 USD per month and removes the branding, allows unlimited videos and adds custom colors and fonts. Starter is $59 USD per month and adds 1080p output, the full stock library and a customizable brand kit. Pro is $149 USD per month and adds editorial media, custom watermarks and multiple workspaces. Team pricing is custom and quoted on request. AI allowances are annual rather than monthly on every paid plan, covering animation minutes, voice minutes and translations, which matters for teams planning a high volume of narrated video.
