Why Lumen 5? What’s Lumen5? With so many videos making software and apps around, what’s unique about this one. It’s special if you understand that video is here to stay and needs to be a part of your offering, but you have no time!
I have been using Lumen 5 for the last one year. In the mad rush of everything else, I forgot to write my review and experience with this fantastic tool. I am a Doctor, and the last thing I have time for is making videos. Vlogging or Blogging is an eternal question. However, I know, the importance of video marketing and I rather enjoy making them even though it’s a time crunch.
Example Video made with Lumen5!
I wrote about Video marketing and the risk of Blogs dying, for a Senrush contest and came sixth. It was easier to promote with a quick video I made with Lumen5.
When I read an article a year back about how much of the world is watching the video, I realized while my blog has its readership to help those who can’t read I will need to make video and audio content.

Lumen 5 review: Seven reasons I recommend Lumen 5
- Its free version is outstanding and will help you get started with video quickly.
- It’s not techie dashboard is excellent for people like you and me who are not vloggers but writers at heart and would somewhat rite than go in front of the camera.
- It doesn’t hang.
- It doesn’t need expensive hardware or software, but it needs a good wifi /internet connection.
- It has multiple themes and makes your video look professional
- A wide range of topics and photos videos make creating social videos quick and easy.
- When you make videos from photos on your phone or laptop using powerpoint or other video tools, the transition feature is often jerky and makes the video look amateurish. That headache disappears with Lumen 5.
Cons: Can’t find any really except I wish I could upload longer videos and voiceover audios of longer duration.
I have mentioned Lumen 5 in my Blogging resources too.
