Lumivids

I'll keep this short.

A while back, I wanted to generate AI videos for some content I was making.

Simple enough, right?

Wrong.

I spent hours figuring out which model was best for what, managing API keys,

switching between tools for video, images, animation — each with its own

pricing, UI, and quirks. I just wanted to go from idea to video without

the overhead.

So I built [Lumivids](https://lumivids.com).

## What it does

Four workflows, one platform:

- Text to Video — describe a scene, get a video

- Image to Video — animate any still image

- Text to Image — generate visuals from a prompt

- Image to Image — transform or restyle existing images

All powered by models I already trusted: Kling, Wan, Flux, and

others. You pick the workflow, set your duration and aspect ratio, and

generate. Everything saves to your history gallery so nothing gets lost.

No API keys. No juggling tabs. Just generate and download.

## What I learned building it

Picking models is half the product.

The generation quality lives and dies by which model you're running under

the hood. I spent more time evaluating and integrating models than I did

building the UI. Worth it.

Multilingual from day one was the right call.

I'm based in Brazil. A huge chunk of the audience for a tool like this

speaks Portuguese or Spanish. Supporting English, Portuguese, and Spanish

at launch opened up conversations I wouldn't have had otherwise.

People don't want options, they want results.

Every time I added a setting, I had to ask: does this actually help the

user, or am I just giving them more ways to feel lost? I cut a lot.

## Where things are now

Lumivids is live at [lumivids.com](https://lumivids.com). Still early —

building in public, listening to feedback, iterating.

If you're a creator, marketer, or just someone who wants AI-generated video

without the complexity, I'd love for you to try it and tell me what's

missing.

## One question for the community

What's the one thing that's stopped you from using AI video tools so far —

price, quality, complexity, or something else entirely?

Would genuinely help me know where to focus next.
