Video editing software is easily accessible. From software to apps to websites, there are hundreds of tools available to create and edit videos. Making lyric videos requires these tools to have greater specifications and features to ensure that lyrics are synchronized perfectly to the music and allow your audience to follow along with the song.
While video editing software is abundant, that doesn't mean it's always optimized for creating lyric videos. In this blog, we'll compare the popular Capcut video editor and the Musixmatch Pro lyric video maker to see which one stands out when making lyric videos for music promotion.
The Capcut video editor is primarily an application that supports basic video editing features, like editing, trimming, splitting, and combining videos. It has options for overlay effects and multilayer editing. It also hosts many CapCut templates, which allow users to add their content within the confines of the template. CapCut is a platform for anyone, from passive social media scrollers to mega influencers. It is meant for people of various uses. This is incredibly powerful for accessibility; however, it also means that the Capcut video editor falls short in the specialized touch needed for artists looking to create perfectly synchronized lyric videos that promote their music.
Conversely, the Musixmatch Pro lyric video maker was created to empower artists to create lyric videos and promote their videos effortlessly across social media and streaming platforms. This is what sets the Musixmatch Pro lyric video maker apart from other lyric video creators.
Let's dive deep into both platforms to see what each offers to artists.
CapCut is a user-friendly phone application for beginners and experienced video creators. The free app, with a paid membership, gives users access to more features. The app boasts an extensive library of elements, music, and effects for users. The main feature that sets CapCut apart from other platforms is its keyframe animation tool, also used to zoom into a video smoothly while running. This feature is incredibly useful for many creators who create videos of themselves speaking or creating influencer social media content like a GRWM or a product review.
The Musixmatch Pro lyric video tool exists within the Musixmatch Pro Platform. As an artist, if you want to get your lyrics on Spotify, Apple Music, Instagram, and many other platforms, you can use Musixmatch Pro to distribute them on streaming platforms and social media. On the platform, you can also access the lyric video maker tool. This tool was designed with the exclusive use of artists to easily create lyric videos using a platform where their lyrics already live.
Now you've got a brief overview of both platforms, let's compare them head-to-head and look at the pros and cons of each platform
Capcut's greatest strength is that it is accessible to everyone; the app is free (with a paid option for additional features) and gives users free access to its templates, asset libraries, and many of its features. Further, you do not need to sign up or create an account to use the Capcut editor. Additionally, CapCut, for rudimentary video editing, is easy to use and user-friendly for basic content.
It's a known con of the CapCut video editor that the out but is usually much lower quality exports, in turn, produces less-professional videos. While this may be preferable to some users, like new influencers or everyday social media users, for artists looking to create high-quality, captivating lyric videos, the result doesn't have as strong an impact.
With CapCut, a major con is that when making lyric videos, you'll have to manually synchronize your lyrics; this process can be difficult and frustrating as you'll need to manually add lyrics as your song progresses, wasting time and effort.
If you are willing to pay for a Premium CapCut app, you receive additional online storage and access features like improved photo quality, removal of light flicker, reduction of image noise, and access to more transitions.
Musixmatch Pro is a platform created with artists at the forefront. The tools inside Pro are built to simplify music promotion for musicians, artists, and singers. A key benefit of the Pro platform is that your lyrics are already synchronized for the fast and easy creation of YouTube and Social Media lyric videos. Musixmatch Pro is all about helping artists promote their lyrics and music. With Pro, you have access to lyric video templates that are fully customizable and our asset library. Additionally, you can leverage your own photos and videos to personalize your lyric videos.
Lyric videos made with Musixmatch Pro also meet high-quality standards, with exports at FullHD (1920x1080), for professional, high-quality lyric videos in just a few clicks. Check out some of the amazing lyric videos created with Pro!
Unlike the CapCut App, with Musixmatch Pro, you can upload and share your lyric videos to social media platforms for easy sharing and quick promotion of your latest release. We know you need to cross-promote on YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and more platforms. On Musixmatch Pro, you can dynamically adapt the aspect ratio of one video to multiple formats, ensuring you can make lyric videos for all platforms.
Another benefit of choosing Musixmatch Pro over the CapCut video editor is that Musixmatch Pro provides access to AI tools that can generate lyric videos based on your music. Pro leverages AI tools to support your lyric transcription, synchronization, and lyric video creation.
Of course, any platform has drawbacks. Pro is an artist-centric platform, so it is only available to the artist community, those who distribute their music on Apple Music, Spotify, and other streaming platforms. Additionally, like any other platform, Pro is a paid service. Plans start at as low as $1.59 per month, whereas the CapCut App starts at $13.49 per month.
CapCut is definitely a winner in creating quick videos. However, the output might not reflect the artistry and effort behind the music. With Musixmatch Pro, you create lyric videos that reflect the time, effort, and soul of your music. The Musixmatch Lyric Video Maker is the ideal tool for artists looking to effortlessly create perfectly synchronized lyric videos for social media, YouTube, and more!
