How a lyric video is made here
Four steps, no timeline to learn.
Pick a designed template
A finished look for a song, not a blank canvas.
Upload your song
MP3, WAV, FLAC, M4A or AAC, up to 100 MB.
Lyrics time themselves
AI writes and times every line. Fix any line in the editor.
Export 16:9 or 9:16
YouTube and Shorts from one project. 9:16 is paid.
What is different here
Made for music
Lyric videos, visualizers, covers and intros. Nothing else to wade through.
Designed templates
Pick a finished look. Backgrounds, type and motion already belong together.
Line timing you can edit
Every line timed to the vocal; click one to retype it or move it.
No account until export
Open a template, upload, preview the whole video. Sign in only to export.
16:9 and 9:16
The same project gives you YouTube and Shorts, with the same timing.
100 languages
