Questions
Is Onemaker free?
You can build and preview a full video with no account. A free account exports one 720p video a day, in 16:9, with a small watermark. The paid plan, $9 a month or $65 a year, removes the watermark and adds 2K and 9:16 exports.
How does Onemaker time the lyrics?
AI listens to the song, writes the lyrics and times every word to the vocal. Paste your own lyrics and only the timing is done for you. Click any word to fix it. Lyrics are timed in 100 languages.
Is Onemaker a general video editor like Kapwing?
No. Onemaker makes videos for music: lyric videos, visualizers, animated covers and intros, each from a designed template.
Do I need an account to try it?
No. Open a template, upload your song and preview the whole video with no account. You sign in only when you export.
