• How does Convert to video work?

  When you click Convert to video inside the Story tab, our AI will parse your text, select the most relevant portions, and generate scenes for you based on that content.

• Copy and paste content directly into Lumen5

  To use a script, word document, or other unpublished text, you can copy and paste the text directly into the Story tab. Once it’s there, you can reorder it, make edits, or delete sections that aren’t relevant to your video. Once you’re happy with the text, press Convert to video.

• Images from my blog post are not being pulled in

  One common cause for not pulling in article media is if the images in the URL are not meeting the minimum size requirements. Images on the web are often smaller and compressed, but videos require higher resolutions to avoid appearing pixelated or blurry. Lumen5 has a minimum size requirement of 360x360 for all images, so if the files from the article are below this threshold, they will not be pulled in. As a fallback, you can always download the image from the page, and then upload it to LumeFew readers
