What I like most is that the video clips used do not interfere with the message one is seeking to convey. Editing and advanced editing are also fairly easy. > > **Cons**: A voice-over feature with readymade voices will be a nice touch to the video creation process. > > Overall I was quite happy with the way Lumen5 worked and with the final product. ----- ### "lumen5 review" — 4.0/5 > **bimal** | *8 December 2021* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Lumen5 is the best video making software compared to others. Because it is easy and less expensive to use. Anyone can easily open and start making videos for any type of business it doesn't matter you are making videos for Facebook, youtube, TikTok or LinkedIn you can make professional looking videos in minutes. You can easily paste your blog URL and it will crawl your page and make a video according to it.Lumen5 is power by Ai.Inside you get million of free video for your business. > > **Cons**: In this app, I think there are not any cons. > > My experiences with Lumen5 is feaking awesome. I enjoy making short and log videos here. ----- ### "Not a great value for your money" — 2.0/5 > **Aisha** | *28 January 2020* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 2.0/10 > > **Pros**: The software was pretty easy to use, changing between formats for Facebook to IGTV was simple. If you enter a link/blog piece it would extract the text and create a template video for you to start working with which is good. > > **Cons**: There are a lot of glitches with the software and it does not allow for customizations. For example, I tried exporting a video numerous times throughout a week and the audio and video was continuously out of sync even after I had reached out to customer support. It also doesn't allow for customizations like increasing the volume of the music. If you want to upload your own video and have music overlay in the background that is not possible which interrupts the flow of the video and taking away from the professionalism. You also can't adjust the amount of text on the screen, or adjust the size of the text, or customize the placement. There are set placements for text (bottom of the screen, top of the screen) And you can't deviate from that. There is a sliding scale for text size so if you want it to be any bigger or smaller than the presets that option is not available. The options for background music are mediocre, some of them are really strange and it takes a lot of work searching through to find a decent soundtrack. > > customer service and response was quick and timely but it's not worth the money in my opinion ----- ### "Easy Way to Create Videos From Posts" — 4.0/5 > **Brian** | *12 February 2019* | Internet | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: This is a pretty cool and easy way to generate high quality videos from blog posts/existing content. Overall, I like how it scans your content and then lays out a suggested video with images and motion animation. It also allows you to select music to give your videos more depth. > > **Cons**: Some of the editing features are limited and lacking. This in a way keeps the production process simple and saves time, yet at times can be a bit frustrating when you'd like more options. ----- ### "Simple Modern and Practical Video Maker / Editor" — 5.0/5 > **Pedro** | *25 August 2021* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: It's really cool to use Lumen 5 to edit videos and create unique content. The free plan already provides many options to use, I can create videos with images or just texts that I don't appear on. For those who are embarrassed to show up, this is very good. There is an excellent option in Lumen 5 that allows me to capture my Blog content, such as articles and automatically convert it to videos. This saves me a lot of work time. Some people complain about posting something with watermarks, but that doesn't bother me, I think if I'm using something from a brand, it's because it's being useful. So we have more to disclose. I find it very practical to create with this tool, it's totally different from conventional editors, but it's very good and easy to use. I just choose a template and automatically the video is created. This is perfect and saves a lot of time. > > **Cons**: I have no disagreements with Lumen 5 , a word against this tool is totally unnecessary. ----- Page: 1 / 7\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/329047/lumen5?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/329047/lumen5) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
