Social Media Video Creation Tool – Lumen5

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

I actually saw this service mentioned a few weeks ago by Chris Brogan and wanted to try it out, so I took some text from an old post on my Child Abuse Survivor blog and spent about 5 minutes creating this video to share on Instagram.

As mentioned in the post, I accepted a lot of defaults and spent most of that 5 minutes trimming it down to Instagram’s 60 second limit for videos. I’m looking forward to spending some more time playing with the free version to see what I can create.
