Lyric Videos feature

We know that shareable video content is more important than ever to help you connect with fans and successfully market your music.

For paid subscribers, make sure that your profile is up to date and that your tracks are fully transcribed, synced, and verified on Musixmatch. If you are having any issues with the verification of your lyrics, be sure to check out our help center, or connect with us on the artist community slack channel to get help with your issues. 

How do I use the lyric videos feature?

Step 1: Choose your artist and song

In order to work, the tool requires one or more verified artists and one or more songs that have at least one verified lyrics with line-by-line sync.

If one or more songs are not available, you can:

• do the syncronization of the song on your own via Musixmatch Pro
• if you have purchased a plan, you can outsource the editing of the song to our expert curators

Provide a valid audio file

When you access the tool, you may be prompted to insert a valid audio file because the lyric videos app needs an mp3 uploaded in order to produce a valid download of the file with the audio.

Step 2: Choose the Format

In the the "preview" area on the left of the tool, you can choose the format of the video, preview it, and choose the portion you want to export.

Choose the format

Choose between the following options for your video:

• Portrait for Instagram and TikTok reels or YouTube shorts
• Landscape for YouTube videos
• Square for Instagram posts

Check out these examples of each lyric video format from members of our community!

Step 3: Choose the template

the "customization" area, on the right, where you can manage your data and customize your video as you wish

Choose the template from the available options.

Step 4: Customize

Next you can further customise your video by choosing the type of synchronization (Line by Line or Word by Word), font style, alignment, and more!

Step 5: Trim

Currently the lyric video tool allows you to customize and export 30 seconds of your song. Use the "Trim" function at the bottom of the screen to select the portion of the video you want to use.

Below you can see the timeline of the songs, the volume settings and the "Trim" function.

Once activated, with the trim function, you can select the area you want to export by dragging the two handlers accordingly.

If you have already inserted the tag structure of the song, you can make use of it to speed up the selection (you can add the tags in the "manage data" section).

Step 6: Export

Once your video is ready to share simply download the file or share the video directly to your socials. It's that easy!

As always, we are working hard to provide the best tools to help you make the most out of your lyrics, reach out to new fans, and get your voice heard (and very soon also seen!) everywhere. Your feedback is welcome and appreciated, so please let us know what you think in the app, and in the artist community slack channel.
