Pros

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

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

“The AI generation does a lot better, manually searching media finds you nothing useful.”

Donald F.

Chief Executive Officer

Pros

“The dancing part which is an aspect that can help me to create a wonderful moment in youtube,tiktok and other social media handle,an exciting opportunity that I have ever craved for since my knowledge of content creation.”

Udoka U.

Content Creator

“I really enjoy using the AI Talking Photos feature because it creates impressive and realistic animations from simple images, and the results are fun and creative.”

Alberto M.

Designer

“I’ve used it for social media content, presentations, and creative projects, and it has saved me a lot of time while improving the quality of my visuals. Although there are a few areas that could be refined, the tool delivers strong value and continues to improve with each update.”

Basuki B.

Consultant

Cons

“I couldn't seem to be able to customize or add captions on certain templates.”

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.”

Ivan T.

Founder & Communication Empowerment Specialist

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

Nathan C.

Founder

Cons

“The main bug for me is time constraints, I fully understand why on the best quality close up the time limit is 3 minutes 30 second due to server costs but there is a merge video option for longer videos, I now use Suno and try to get Suno to make a song under 4 minutes is pretty difficult.”

Paul R.

private

“The biggest downside for me is how the features are organized like separate Lego blocks. When I first bought the license, it wasn’t immediately clear which exact tools and features are included in my plan and which ones require an additional one-time purchase.”

Oleksandr K.

Project Manager

“In summary, my least favorite aspect is that TalkingPhotos.ai’s operational limits—its long render times and minuscule maximum length—actively prevent it from being the powerful engine it could be for long-form content like online courses.”
