You can't make videos optimized for YouTube without heavy editing. You can't generate new slides using AI. You have to generate them manually and if you're not good at that stuff or finding media to fit the text, your video will not look good. > > Very frustrating. A good portion of my videos are posted on YouTube and I continue to get copyright claims, on every video. I also want videos optimized for YouTube, but they only allow autogenerated videos to be about 3 minutes. A YouTube video should be 6+ minutes for optimization. To make longer videos, you have to do it manually and it's very hard to find media that goes with your text. The AI generation does a lot better, manually searching media finds you nothing useful. ----- ### "Easy to make short videos" — 5.0/5 > **Lukas** | *8 January 2025* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Very easy to create videos from text and blog posts. > > **Cons**: Sometimes the videos it finds aren't all that accurate but you have to select better ones manually. ----- ### "Lume5 Honest Review" — 4.0/5 > **Denise** | *20 April 2024* | Graphic Design Software | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is very simple to use. Beginner friendly. A variety of templates to choose from. 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. > > **Cons**: I had a bit of an issue with captions. I couldn't seem to be able to customize or add captions on certain templates. > > Overall its a very good software. If you need a quick and easy video creator than this is the way yo go. ----- ### "User-friendly and Intuitive" — 5.0/5 > **David** | *1 May 2023* | Professional Training & Coaching | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Lumen5 is a great tool for creating videos quickly and easily. It’s very user-friendly and intuitive. The templates are great and make it easy to create videos that look professional. > > **Cons**: The starter package is currently $79 USD. The basic package, which is $29 USD doesn't include 1080p video resolution. It is extremely pricy. > > Lumen5 makes video creation simple. The AI isn't very good - like most of their competitors. Just wish their pricing was so high. ----- ### "Hope it gets better" — 5.0/5 > **Ivan** | *26 January 2023* | Public Relations & Communications | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: So, I liked the concept that you can get a text or a zoom call and make them videos on brand. > > **Cons**: 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. Also the price is not very good. > > I teste lumen5 for some months with a client or two, they liked it and used for a bit, but then it was to expensive, and there was to much extra work to do so that the videos came out with a purpose. So we searched for other tools. ----- Page: 1 / 7\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ae/software/167719/lumen5?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ae/software/167719/lumen5) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
