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.
Your checklist
- Lock the final master. The video carries this audio, so do not make it from a rough mix.
- Clean up the lyrics so that they match what is really sung.
- Upload both, and pick a style.
- Watch the free preview and try other versions if you want. You get up to 3 free.
- Pay and get the full video.
- Watch the whole file once with the sound on, and use a free word fix if a word is wrong.
- Download the file and keep a copy. The link is valid for 90 days.
Do not leave it for the last night
We make no promise about how long a video takes, so leave yourself room before the date. You will also want time to try versions and to check the words.
On YouTube
Upload the file ahead of time and schedule it, if you want it to go live with the song. Use the title your listeners would search for, such as your artist name and the song title with "lyric video". Add the streaming links to the description.
What the file is
One order gives you one 16:9 widescreen video in 1080p, with no watermark. It is made for YouTube and other wide screens.
Questions
How long before release should I start?
As early as you can, once the master is final. If the audio changes, you need a new video.
What if I find a typo after I pay?
You get 2 free word fixes, each with a re-render.
What does it cost?
The preview is free. The full video is $29 per song, paid once. Any tax that applies is calculated at checkout.
