Create your first lyric video

A quick walkthrough from importing your song to previewing and saving your first project.

Create your first lyric video

Simple Mode is the quickest way to build a first project. It walks through the main decisions in order, while Advanced Mode remains available when you want deeper control.

1. Choose your song

Create a new project and import a supported audio file. Lyric Video Studio supports WAV, MP3, M4A, AAC, AIFF and FLAC.

The app creates a waveform so you can see the structure of the track while you work.

2. Add your lyrics

You can paste plain text, import LRC, SRT or WebVTT, or use local audio-to-text recognition to create an editable first pass.

Review the words before moving on. Transcription is a starting point, not a substitute for checking the final lyrics.

3. Sync the words

Simple Mode can estimate lyric timing automatically. You can refine it later with line timing, beat snapping, clip dragging and word-level timing in Advanced Mode.

4. Pick a look

Choose one of the bundled visual templates, then adjust the lyric style and background.

You can stay with a simple colour or image, or move into animated, generative, stage or AI-created backgrounds.

5. Preview and save

Play the project from the beginning and check that the lyrics, motion and safe areas feel right.

Your project keeps its own song, lyrics, timing and metadata so you can return to it later.

Go further

Open Advanced Mode whenever you want access to the full timeline, layers, keyframes, overlays, beat markers and detailed visual controls.
