"Built video in 10 minutes!"

5/5

What do you like best about Lumen5?

So this was one of the easiest programs to learn from the very beginning. Created a free account (which is amazing to have that option this day in age). Added a few photos from a project, tossed in some text and it basically built itself! A few changes here and there and clicked finish. It is now rendering! While I was writing this review, the video finished and it is amazing! 49 seconds long and I can load it directly to Facebook. Thanks Lumen5!!!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lumen5?

Couldn't figure how to add text after the initial text upload. Finally figured out that you can add text right onto a new photo that you drop in. Outside of that, first impression is that this is a program that I might actually use on a regular bases for our small business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

You can't go wrong with a free account. Give it a try, toss in some photos and see what happens! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Lumen5 solving and how is that benefiting you?

Creating videos never seemed like a viable option for our small startup. Usually the idea of cost or taking the time to learn a new program kept me from considering this. Lumen5 has changed all of this! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The Ultimate Quick Fire Video Creation Tool"

5/5

What do you like best about Lumen5?

Lumen5 is one of those tools you'll be so happy to discover and forever will use to create eye-catching videos to build your brands' online presence. Lumen5 has some really great features for helping to create videos to help tell a story and animated quotes. The best thing for me is the simple step-by-step process the software guides you into creating your videos. I love the fact you can take text-based content and turn it into a video within minutes. Also love the featured assets, from graphics, Gifs, videos and music that you can add to really pack a punch with your message. Before I forget, I love the AI feature that generates images based on the text that's populated - genius! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lumen5?

Lumen5 are really good at listening to what their audience wants and I know they will get there as they're relatively still very young. At present moment my main issue is the length of time it takes to render a video after creation. I also wished that the option to create a video from scratch didn't have a load of content from Lumen5, it makes it a little confusing. Would be nice from the start from scratch feature did not to have any text in it so I could add it myself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Lumen5:

A mobile app version would be great so that we could create content on the go. Also being able to title our own videos in the creation process would be really useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Lumen5 solving and how is that benefiting you?

Lumen5 help us to create content for social media, not just ourselves but also for our clients. The quality of the videos, available graphics and gifs helps us to present thought-provoking videos that truly stands out in the newsfeed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is wonderful! It has mainly Hard Rock music to serve as soundtrack for my videos!
