Pros

“A good portion of my videos are posted on YouTube and I continue to get copyright claims, on every video.”
DF

Donald F.

Chief Executive Officer

“Most outstanding feature is the option to take a link on any article or blog post and Lume5 will rewrite the script and create a video on the article with ease.”

Denise T.

Affiliate Marketer and Content Creator

“I think the text-to-video only work for generic clips, videos with "purpose" don't come very well, images choosen by the AI are to generic, and if I have to edit it myself I prefer using cupcat or canva.”

“A lot of times when using the text to video feature the text is not related to the image that is added”
