"Lumen5 is like having a video editing assistant who reads your blog, picks the best quotes, and overlays them onto stock footage automatically. Essential for repurposing content."
Key AI Features for UK Marketers
Lumen5 is specifically designed to fit into a marketing workflow, not just a creative one.
1. Blog-to-Video Workflow
Paste your UK blog post URL, and Lumen5's AI scans for key takeaways, generating a storyboard with relevant text overlays.
- Intelligent Summarization: It doesn't just copy-paste; it selects the "hook" sentences.

2. Drag-and-Drop Media Library
Access a massive library of 160 million+ copyright-free photos and videos.
- Shutterstock Integration: High-quality assets are included in paid plans, essential for avoiding generic-looking content.

- Auto-Captions: Critical for social media where videos are often watched with sound off.
- Call-to-Action Overlays: Easily add "Link in Bio" or "Sign Up" animations.
