Highlightly Team
Lumen5 turns text content into videos. Paste a blog post or article, and it generates a video with scenes, captions, and stock footage. It is designed for teams that want to repurpose written content into video format for social media.
Video is not always the answer
Lumen5 solves a specific problem: turning text into video. But not every piece of content needs to become a video. A powerful quote works best as a quote card. A surprising statistic works best as a stat graphic. A step-by-step process works best as a carousel.
Best when articles and reports need cards, carousels, and screenshots before video
A Lumen5 alternative comparison for teams deciding between AI video creation and source-backed visual social assets.
Highlightly extracts the specific material from a source and matches it to the right format. A quote becomes a quote card. A stat becomes a stat graphic. A process becomes a carousel. The format follows the content, not the other way around. Your brand kit is applied to every asset automatically, and AI-generated social captions are included.
