When Rendley is the better choice
Rendley is a strong pick when video is the whole job — multi-track timeline, transitions, captions — and you don't need a first-class image editor in the same surface. Its video feature depth is real.
Where Lumen wins
Where Lumen diverges: Lumen is image and video in one drop-in, with on-device voiceover, background removal, translation and dubbing alongside captions — and a flat per-app licence rather than per-domain terms.
