FROM MP3 AND WORDS TO VIDEOHow to make your lyric video
- Add an audio file. Use your own recording or a song you have permission to publish. MP3, WAV, M4A, OGG, AAC and FLAC decoding depends on your browser; the file must be under 40 MB.
- Paste and time your lyrics. Put one short line on each row. Choose Per-line timing for vocals with uneven phrasing, or import line-timed LRC. Listen locally and scrub the poster to check each change.
- Choose the section and look. Add a still cover if you want, choose colors and vertical, square or landscape format, then select a clip length. The poster is static; animation and audio-reactive bars appear in the export.
- Render, preview and save. Keep this tab visible and your device awake. Rendering takes about the selected duration. Check the result before downloading it; leaving or refreshing loses the session.
Choose how to time the words
Animation reacting to the beat does not tell the editor when a lyric is sung. Choose the timing method that fits your source:
I have lyrics, without timestamps
Choose Per-line timing and enter each line’s start in seconds. Or play or pause your audio at a line’s beginning and choose Stamp position for that line. Review and correct the times; this is manual timing, without automatic word detection. Check against the local audio preview. A line stays visible until the next cue; a blank cue creates a gap.
I already have an LRC file
Open Import LRC timestamps and choose a file or paste supported line timestamps. Times refer to the full source track, even when you export a later section. Offset and word-level tags are unsupported.
I want evenly spaced lines
Use Even spacing, set seconds per line and the first start. The BPM shortcut calculates a uniform interval from beats per line. It does not detect your song’s tempo or align words to vocals.
Make a full-song video or a short hook
For a track up to five minutes, keep Clip start at zero and choose Up to 5 minutes. The export stops at the audio’s end. For a hook, listen to the track, pause at the start and choose Use audio position as clip start, then select a shorter length.
Lyric timestamps always use source-track seconds. For newly pasted hook lyrics, Start lyrics at clip start moves the first evenly spaced line to that section. Imported LRC times are not shifted automatically. Longer tracks need a selected section or an editor supporting the length you need.
Know the limits before timing a song
- Audio: under 40 MB; export choices of 8, 15 or 30 seconds, or 1, 3 or up to 5 minutes. The default is 15 seconds. At least half a second must remain after the chosen start.
- Lyrics: up to 80 lines, 2,400 characters total and 120 characters per line. A five-minute track may need fewer or shorter lines. Split long phrases before timing.
- Video: 720 × 1280 vertical, 1280 × 720 landscape or 720 × 720 square. MP4 recording depends on browser support; WebM is the fallback. Desktop Chrome has been tested; other devices may differ.
- Device: recording runs in real time. Keep the tab visible and your device awake. If the device struggles, choose a shorter section.

The example is an eight-second AIRAPV export with original instrumental audio, four original lyric lines and animated visuals. It demonstrates whole-line changes and the visualizer, without rap vocals or lip sync.

Questions before you start
Does this generate lyrics or transcribe a song?
Supply both the audio and the written words. This editor does not transcribe, generate music or lyrics, clone voices or animate faces. The rap video guide includes a writing-prompt helper if you are still drafting; it does not create vocals.
Is the export really free?
The current beta has no account, payment or added watermark. The same duration, file and lyric limits apply to the export, not just a preview. You are responsible for permission to use the audio, lyrics and cover.
Can I make a video without the words?
Choose Music visualizer under Video content to hide lyrics while keeping your draft. The music visualizer entry starts in that mode.
Do my song and lyrics leave my device?
The editor processes media and drafts in this browser session. Optional coarse action analytics exclude audio, images, titles and lyric text. There is no cloud history. Save your result before leaving; see the privacy notice for details.
How do I check the result?
Play the exported video to judge sound and timing. When supported, a local soundtrack check reports decoded audio duration and signal presence; otherwise it says unavailable. Optional playback counters describe this device’s playback, not the quality of the encoded file.
