Lumen5 updates lumen5.com

We've introduced a search bar in your dashboard, so you can easily find your videos! Just click in and start typing, and results come up on your dashboard automatically.

We've cleaned up the text controls! They've been moved to the top of the scene to make it easier to adjust text sizes and change highlighted text.

We've normalized our audio library! Now your video volume, voiceovers, and background music will sound better than ever.

Projects are now live. You can create projects to organize your videos, much like folders! More about how this works here.

Music will continue to play when you add an uploaded video with sound to a scene. That way you can hear both the person or people in the clip talking and the music. We'll lower the music volume so that both can be heard clearly. This replaces the previous behavior where music would mute completely.

We've made some changes to the way you can select colour palettes for your videos! Now you'll see a palette that shows all the colours side by side, so you get a better idea what your final video will look like. Business and Premium users can still change individual colours within the palette: just click in to edit.

We’ve bumped up the bitrate of videos to help with resolution! Now your 1080p videos will look even sharper than ever.

The fastest and easiest way to turn any website or blog post into a video is using the Lumen5 Chrome extension.

With the extension you can create a video right from your browser in just one click! Click on the extension from any blog post or article and we'll take you right into the video creator.

We’re super excited to announce that Lumen5 has formed an exclusive partnership with Shutterstock 🎉

This alliance gives our beloved customers access to significantly more media overall than before. Premium customers and above will have access to 4 times more unlimited media, while Business and Enterprise customers will see the number of images and videos in the marketplace triple.

We've changed the way you size your text! Choose from tiny, small, medium, large, and huge to create compelling scenes for your videos. Bonus: no more wondering if the text size slider bar is in the exact same place for each scene- just select the same size!
