Lumen5 Blog-to-Video Studio
Lumen5 (lumen5.com) is a Vancouver video studio for brands, launched in 2017: turn a blog, article, URL, PDF, transcript or script into an editable scene video. Help: a Lumen5 video can be up to 10 minutes, on every plan; you cannot pay for longer. Dimensions: 480p, 720p or 1080p at 16:9, 9:16, 1:1 or 4:5. Scene length follows the words on the card; pacing can be 0.5×–1.5×. The product is a publish studio with brand kits, stock, talking-head, in-app recording and AI voice — not a Veo-style 4 / 6 / 8 second cinematic picker. ImgToVid does not run Lumen5; the generator on this page drafts on Seedance 2.5.
01 — Capabilities
A 10-minute publish studio, not a 50-minute story reel or a hosted 60s clip picker
Public Lumen5 pages sell a branded cut from writing. They do not sell MagicLight’s 50-minute story film, or Magic Hour’s hosted T2V engines.
01
Help: max 10 minutes, every plan
Knowledge base: the maximum length is 10 minutes. You cannot pay for longer, regardless of subscription. Scene duration follows the text on the card. There is no first-party 4 / 6 / 8 second cinematic picker on this site.
02
480p / 720p / 1080p; 16:9, 9:16, 1:1, 4:5
Help lists those resolutions and aspect ratios, with pixels (e.g. 1920×1080 for 16:9 1080p). Which resolution you get depends on the plan. That is a Lumen5 export table, not a Veo 4K generate row here.
03
Blog, URL, PDF, script — then brand kit, stock, talking-head, AI voice
The AI Video Generator builds scenes, media, timing and motion from writing. You edit in a drag-and-drop studio. Talking-head, in-app recording and AI voice live on lumen5.com, not as generate rows on ImgToVid.
04
Not Magic Hour’s hosted 1–60s engines, not MagicLight’s 50-minute story
Magic Hour hosts LTX, Kling, Seedance and a REST API. MagicLight turns a 12,000-character story into a film up to 50 minutes. Lumen5 is the business blog-to-video desk. This site does not open any of them.
02 — Prompt to output
Prompts that match the clips above
Each prompt describes the picture on its card. “Use this prompt” sends that text to Create. The generator on this page runs Seedance 2.5, not Lumen5.
- 01 · Portrait
PromptClose-up of a young man with curly hair in a grey knit sweater, soft window light. He glances away, then smiles. Slow push-in, shallow depth of field.
- 02 · Product
PromptA white leather sneaker on a pale grey studio backdrop, soft diffused light. The camera orbits slowly. Stitching stays sharp, the look stays minimal.
- 03 · Street
PromptA slow dolly down a cobblestone lane in an old European village. Climbing roses on stone walls, café tables in morning sun, a few people walking in the distance.
- 04 · Character
PromptA young woman with shoulder-length brown hair in an olive t-shirt, late-afternoon gold light. She turns her head and looks off. Breeze in her hair, a handheld feel.
03 — Where it fits
Jobs a blog-to-video studio is selling
Public pages point at a LinkedIn cut from an article, an internal training reel, or a branded social post. They do not sell an 8-second Lumen5 cinematic model of its own.
A scene video from a blog, URL or script, up to 10 minutes
Lumen5 Help. This page does not open that studio.
A branded 480p–1080p export for social or comms
Format tab on lumen5.com. That run stays there.
A 50-minute character story, or a hosted LTX 60s clip
That is MagicLight or Magic Hour. Lumen5 is a business publish studio.
A draft shot on ImgToVid
Write the shot here. Seedance 2.5 carries the prompt into Create. Membership and credits are checked there.
04 — Verdict
What Lumen5 actually is
Strengths
- Vancouver business studio since 2017: blog, URL, PDF, script → editable scenes
- Help: max 10 minutes on every plan; 480p / 720p / 1080p at four aspect ratios
- Brand kit, stock library, talking-head, in-app recording, AI voice
- Honest that 10 minutes is a publish-studio cap, not a 4 / 6 / 8 second generate row here
Trade-offs
- No first-party 4 / 6 / 8 second cinematic picker
- No 4K export table in the public dimensions article
- Lumen5 is not available on ImgToVid
- Marked coming soon on this site
05 — Side by side
Lumen5, Veo 3.1 and Kling 4.0
Lumen5 is a blog-to-video publish studio. Veo 3.1 and Kling 4.0 numbers below are from those vendors’ public docs — one-shot clip models, not a Lumen5 scene timeline.
06 — How it works
Start a clip on ImgToVid
Step 1
Describe one shot
Subject, action, camera. Lumen5 will not be the model that runs it.
Step 2
Use the generator on this page
It runs Seedance 2.5, because Lumen5 is not offered here. The prompt and the settings carry into Create.
Step 3
Generate in Create
Membership and credits are checked there. Coming back to this page does not switch the model over to Lumen5.
07 — FAQ
Lumen5, in plain terms
What is Lumen5?
Lumen5 (lumen5.com) is a Vancouver video studio for brands, launched in 2017. It turns blogs, URLs, PDFs, transcripts and scripts into editable scene videos with brand kits and stock. ImgToVid does not host Lumen5.
How long is a Lumen5 clip?
Help: the maximum is 10 minutes, on every plan. Scene length follows the text. Pacing can be 0.5×–1.5×. There is no 4 / 6 / 8 second cinematic picker.
Does Lumen5 generate video from text?
Yes, on lumen5.com: a script, blog or idea becomes scenes you can edit. That is a publish studio, not a Lumen5 one-shot on ImgToVid.
What picture size can I use?
Help lists 480p, 720p and 1080p at 16:9, 9:16, 1:1 and 4:5. Plan gates which resolution you get. There is no 4K row in that dimensions article.
Can I generate Lumen5 videos on ImgToVid?
No. The generator on this page runs Seedance 2.5 so you can draft a shot. Lumen5 is marked coming soon.
Can I use the results commercially?
Commercial use of anything you generate on ImgToVid depends on your plan. Check Pricing and our Terms before you publish, and make sure prompts and uploads do not infringe someone else’s rights.

Lumen5 is not the button on this page
You can still draft the shot. The generator runs Seedance 2.5, and the prompt goes with you into Create.
