How to Make a Lyric Video

A quick browse through YouTube, and you'll find thousands, if not millions, of lyric videos in different styles with various automation and designs. It seems impossible for the average artist to create professional-looking videos. 

In this blog, we'll discuss the critical components of lyric videos and show you how to make them quickly. 

Lyric Video Components

This might seem obvious, but many elements go into a lyric video, and more importantly, some components make lyric videos great. 

Platform Sizing 

A crucial feature of lyric videos is ensuring you choose the correct formatting. Vertical videos are used for reels and stories on Instagram, and horizontal videos are used for YouTube and longer-form lyric videos. You must use the correct sizing for the proper platform to ensure the video is optimized for your fans. 

Lyric Animations

Another critical and technical consideration you need to make is using line-by-line or word-by-word synchronization to your music. This can depend on the style of the video, the speed of speech, or your aesthetic vision. 

Lyric Placement & Alignment

Another critical consideration is where to place your lyrics on the video; this is dependent on the background and style of the video you choose. This concern is not only an aesthetic consideration but also plays a role in the accessibility of the lyrics. 

Colors and Branding

As an artist, you have a brand; with each release, you share and communicate a message about yourself and your music. Your lyric videos should reflect and match this energy. Choosing colors and stylistic choices like fonts is another way to express your brand identity through lyric videos.

Putting this all together, you should be able to create a lyric video. The only issue? Where? And on what platform?
