A lyric video for your band's new single
Your single is mixed and the release date is close, and nothing is set aside for a video shoot. A lyric video gives the song something to watch on release day.

Text description of this video
A lyric video in three colourful worlds: a rainbow sky with clouds, a purple sunset over waves, and a burst of blue and teal rays. The words appear with the singing in large letters, and on the peak words the letters gather out of small particles. Small drawings sit beside the words they belong to: keys, a flower pot, a cat, a peach, shoes. An equalizer moves along the bottom edge. The song's audio plays with the video.
Why bands use lyric videos
- The song gets a video on YouTube on the day it comes out, not months later.
- Listeners learn the words, which helps at gigs.
- You can post the video on your site and share it with press, playlists and fans.
- Every track on an EP can have its own video without planning a shoot for each.
Plan it into the release
Finish the master before you start, because the video is timed to that exact audio. Order a few weeks before release so there is time to try versions, fix the lyrics and upload the video to your channel as an unlisted or scheduled video.
Rights in a band
Before you upload, you declare that you made the song or control its rights. If the band wrote it together, make sure everyone who has a share agrees. If you have a label or a publisher, check that this use is yours to approve.
What you get
- The full song as one 16:9 widescreen video in 1080p, with no watermark.
- Lettering that follows the singing, word by word, in the style you pick from 28 looks.
- Your words as you wrote them. The lyrics are never guessed from the audio.
- 2 free lyrics fixes with a re-render, and a free re-render if we got something wrong.
An EP or an album
The price is per song: $29 once for each track, with a free preview first. Each song is ordered on its own, so you can pick a different style for each one or keep one look across the whole release.
Questions
Do we need a label or a distributor?
No. Anyone who made the song or controls its rights can order. The video is a file you download and use on your own channels.
Can we use it to promote the release?
Yes. You can upload it to your YouTube channel and share it wherever you promote the song, as long as the rights to the song are yours.
Can we show the band name and the song title?
The video shows the lyrics you paste. Use the video title and description on YouTube for the band name and the song title.
