Lumen5 is an AI-powered video-making platform that utilizes AI to accelerate the process of converting text-based content into an engaging video format. The company was founded in 2017 by Michael Cheng, and they have sought to leverage artificial intelligence to remove some of the burden associated with video production for the masses, or at least for those without any previous experience making videos. Lumen5 enables people to input articles, blog posts, or scripts, then creates video content by matching relevant text, media, sounds, and animations. In addition to being time-efficient, it also engages and supports the value of the text by relating it to the content’s message and is generally a clean way to convert text with AI into video animations. Lumen5 also includes a user-friendly drag-and-drop interface, adding to the level of customization for a business brand. The user is able to adjust colors and fonts as well as insert the branded logo. In addition to the tool providing a robust media library for users to source from, Lumen5 is committed to innovating the video platform's features further into the future. Lumen5 assists businesses, educators, and others by providing a professional-quality way to capture the audience's attention and effectively engage with stakeholders to convey the intended message.
