ShortGenAutomated Video Creation for Marketers
Lumen5 is renowned for its AI-driven “blog to video” automation—just paste your post, and Lumen5 builds a quick video with stock clips, auto-matched headlines, and AI voiceover. It’s a dream for busy content teams but can output ‘just okay’ social videos. Manual editing to optimize each video for virality, hook, or conversion takes time.
ShortGen: Fast, Focused, and Viral-First
ShortGen goes further—with smart highlight extraction, A/B test support, and built-in microcopy generation. Turn a blog, post, or competitor’s landing page into a swipe-worthy TikTok or Instagram Reel—then use built-in scheduling, analytics, and multilingual support to scale results.
