Old workflow vs. new

Eight tools and three weeks. Or one system and an afternoon.

A traditional explainer bounces between agencies, freelancers, and a stack of disconnected AI tools. Lumen5 collapses the whole pipeline into one guided flow.

How it works

From an idea to a finished video, in three steps.

No crew. No motion designer. No agency timeline. A guided flow takes you from script to storyboard to video.

Step 1

Start with anything. Even just an idea.

Paste text, import a URL, upload a document, or simply describe what you want and let the AI write the script for you. The script carries the video, and you shape it in a click.

Step 2

Pick a style. Your brand stays locked.

Choose from a wide range of animation styles, or get a custom one built just for your brand. Ingredients keep your characters, your mascot, even your CEO consistent across every scene.

Step 3

Generate. Then direct it like a pro.

Lumen5 builds a scene-by-scene storyboard. Refine any shot in plain English, animate it, then add music, captions, and translations in the Lumen5 editor. Publish the same day.

Most AI video looks like a robot made it. This doesn’t.

Real motion-design-grade animation, not a stock avatar reading a script. A wide range of styles, your brand colors, any aspect ratio. Same script, a completely different video.

3D CGI · natural light

No talking avatars were used in the making of this video.

Don’t take our word for it. Press play.

Real explainers, made entirely in Lumen5, from nothing but a script. Ideation, scripting, voiceover, illustration, and animation — the whole pipeline in one place, not four AI tools stitched together.
