Marketing and social teams that turn blog posts into short videos made from stock footage and templates with text on screen.

Is there an alternative to Lumen5 for explainer and training videos?

For videos that teach, the picture should explain the concept rather than decorate it. DistilBook turns a PDF, Word file or notes into a narrated explainer with an original illustration for each idea, in 19 whiteboard and motion-graphics styles and 20 languages. You approve the script before anything is drawn. Signup gives 10 free credits with no card, enough for the first slide, and paid plans start at $20 a month, or $14 a month billed yearly, with your logo on every paid plan.

Lumen5 remains a good fit for quick social videos from articles with a large stock library.
