Last updated: April 2026
Migrating from InVideo AI to Lumen5 can be beneficial for users seeking more streamlined social media publishing, different AI content interpretation, or potentially lower pricing tiers. Both platforms share core AI video creation capabilities, but Lumen5 emphasizes direct social platform integration and slightly different workflow approaches.

| InVideo AI | Lumen5 Equivalent | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Text/Prompt to Video AI | Article to Video AI | Both use AI to generate videos from text. Lumen5 is optimized for blog/article URLs and text blocks, while InVideo AI may accept more varied prompts. |
| Stock Media Library | Media Library (Images/Video) | Both offer extensive libraries. Specific assets will differ; you'll need to search for similar content using keywords. |
| Automated Voiceover | Text-to-Speech Voiceover | Both provide AI voices. Voice options, accents, and available languages will vary between platforms. |
| Custom Branding (Logos/Colors) | Brand Kit | Functionally equivalent. Lumen5's Brand Kit allows setting default logos, colors, and fonts for all projects. |
| Drag-and-Drop Editor | Visual Scene Editor | Both are user-friendly. Lumen5's editor is scene-based with a timeline, offering a slightly different layout and control scheme. |
| Multiple Aspect Ratios | Platform-Specific Templates | Both support various ratios (square, landscape, story). Lumen5 strongly ties template selection to social platforms like Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter. |
| Direct Social Media Export | Direct Social Publishing | Lumen5 has more built-in, direct publishing/scheduling integrations for platforms like LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitter. |
Data Transfer Guide
Direct project file transfer between InVideo AI and Lumen5 is not possible due to incompatible proprietary formats. The migration is a manual recreation process. From InVideo AI, you can only export the final rendered video files and manually copy text scripts. First, download all your completed MP4 videos from InVideo's 'My Projects' section. For unfinished projects, copy the script text from the editor. In Lumen5, you 'import' by starting a new project. Use the 'Article to Video' feature and paste your script, or use 'Start from Scratch' and manually rebuild scenes using your downloaded videos as a visual reference. Upload any custom brand assets (logos, audio) directly into Lumen5's media library.
