Lyric videos are abundant, coming out with every release for every level of artist. How does one stand out from the crowd? The best way is to remain authentic and genuine to your brand and music. We've rounded up our top 5 tips for making cool lyric videos. 

‍

1. Create Custom Backgrounds

In addition to your lyrics, a picture is worth a thousand words. Using personal and custom backgrounds is an incredible way to boost the engagement of your lyric videos. There are two ways to approach this: you can use your own photos, images, and videos you've created over time or purposely shot for the lyric video. Alternatively, you can leverage AI and make videos and images from your lyrics to create videos generated directly from your song. Whichever route you choose, having authentic imagery and videos ensures that your lyric video is unique to you and your music. 

2. Keep Your Brand Consistent, Create the Same Video for Multiple Platforms

As a musician, you're likely juggling multiple platforms to promote your music. You are likely promoting your music on various platforms, from Spotify to YouTube, Instagram, and more. This isn't easy because each platform has a unique format and sizing specifications. When creating your best lyric videos, it's essential to keep the style, design, and aesthetic of the video consistent across all platforms so that you can develop your brand and create a sense of professionalism and consistency.

This is essential for lyric animations, where you must use the same font, design, and synchronization style in the videos. Further, this plays a significant role in promoting and evoking emotion in a song. Keeping the style consistent across platforms empowers you to create a unified and connective experience for your audience.

3. Add Overlays to Your Video

Overlays are underrated. Video overlays are editing tools that add items to a video, like a filter, a color gradient, and lighting effects. Overlays allow you to change the mood, vibe, and emotion a lyric video evokes. You can play with dynamic elements and filters to take a less professional video or background and create the best lyric video. 

4. Leverage Tools for a Professional High-Quality Experience

Work smarter, not harder. There are thousands of high-quality lyric video makers online, and finding the right tool is an absolute game changer for independent artists. While you can DIY lyric videos, leveraging lyric video platforms enables you to create custom lyric videos while saving time and money.

5. Be Creative 

The most important part of making cool lyric videos is to harness the same creativity and passion in your music. Lyric videos should reflect the essence of your music and artistry.  Incorporate your brand into every aspect of your lyric videos through font customization, backgrounds, design elements, and more.
