Your first lyric video: a guide for new singers and songwriters
You finished a song and want people to see it, not only hear it. A lyric video is the simplest way: the words of your song on screen, timed to your voice. No editing skills needed.

Why a lyric video first
It needs only the song and the words. You do not need a camera, a crew or a location, and listeners can read and sing along.
What you need
- The finished song as an audio file.
- The lyrics as text, one line per sung line.
- The rights to the song: it is yours, or you control its rights.
Prepare the lyrics
- Write one line of text for each line you sing, in the order you sing them.
- Read them once against the recording and fix spelling.
- Use the words you actually sing: Lyriclip uses your lyrics as you write them, it does not guess them from the audio.
Get it made
Upload the song and paste the lyrics, pick a style that fits the mood, and watch the free 12 to 15 second preview. If you like it, order the full video: one 16:9 file in 1080p with no watermark, $29 per song.
Then share it
Upload the file to YouTube like any other video, and put the lyrics in the description.
Questions
Do I need any editing skills?
No. You upload the song and the lyrics. The engine builds the video automatically.
What if I do not like the first preview?
Try another version: up to 3 free versions per song.
What if a word is wrong?
After you order you get 2 free word fixes, each with a re-render.
