All right, in this short video, I'm going to show you how I use Lumen5
0:07
I've created dozens and dozens of videos here, and some of them actually come from articles
0:18
like this one. Basically, what I did to create this video is I added a URL from an article and Lumen5
0:30
sort of pulls out text from the article and creates a presentation
0:39
Now, I'm going to tell you it isn't perfect. There are a couple things that have to work here
0:46
First and foremost, my articles are insanely long. So it doesn't do well with really long articles
0:54
I would say, you know, you have to get in there and you have to edit it
1:00
Another thing I'm going to say is that it willy-nilly creates these themes
1:10
And you sort of have to go back and forth to make it right So I kind of thought it might show you the URL where I grabbed it from
1:22
I'm just going to go through a couple of the ones that I've already done to see if I can, as you can see, see how the themes are all kind of slightly different
1:35
And you need to get in there and edit it. You can see that I have, here is the URL and here, and then you can go in here and edit these things
1:48
And see, I had to really cut out a lot of text so that I could get to something that is workable
1:59
So now, once you've got all of this, it will add video and it will add music
2:13
It picks the images, which are almost always very, very good. So I was hoping that I can really show you one draft draft Okay this one is published Let take a look at this one Can I see it
2:36
Share. Okay, and here it is. This is what it looks like. And you can play it
2:48
as you can see it's got it really didn't take me long to do this you just take an article
2:57
you edit it it's truly the lazy marketers way to summarize your article and to repurpose that
3:06
content and so you can see what that looks like that is a published video and what that looks like
3:16
I can show you I think I showed you the in this one I really did a lot of editing I did not put the url in here or if I did I
3:30
did so much editing that I took it away but I really love this tool if your articles are
3:38
shorter and you written them a certain way they are super easy to convert to videos So you can search all different kinds of images
3:57
Well, oh, because that's my library. You can see all the different ones
4:04
You just simply click on this. You can swap the image. You just simply click on something and choose a new image
4:16
You can add, you have to upgrade to have icons, but there are some icons you can use
4:26
Here's all the music. Tons of great music. I really like the music. You can, I've selected the current colors
4:33
This is the closest to my brand. And, you know, you can, you know, if you upgrade, you can eliminate the watermark and all these different things
4:42
I've just chosen not to do that. You can do videos for all the different social platforms
4:49
Great. Just a really nice tool. And there's a free plan that I am using and I love it
4:57
It's a yes. Thumbs up
