Video Gen EditorHow to make a lyric video with AI
- 1
Attach your song
Add the audio by URL with the + button. LTX-2.3 Fast uses up to 30 seconds of audio to drive the video, so pick a verse or the hook.
- 2
Describe the visuals and the words
Set the scene and the type: “Bold white text reading ‘we were golden’ fades in over slow-motion city lights, 80s synthwave style.”
- 3
Go section by section
Make one clip per lyric line or section, then line the clips up with your track in any editor.
Visuals that feel like your song
A good lyric video matches the song's energy: slow, dreamy imagery for a ballad, fast cuts and bold colour for a drop. Because your audio goes into the model, the motion follows the music instead of just sitting on top of it. The audio is also merged into the finished clip and trimmed to its length, so each clip already plays with your track.
Getting clean text on screen
Video models can write short text on screen, but they do best with a few words at a time. Put the exact words in quotes, keep each clip to one short line, and describe the lettering (“bold sans-serif”, “handwritten neon”). For long verses, it's easier to generate the background here and add the full lyrics as captions in your editor. That's what a lot of artists do, and it keeps every word readable.
- Quote the exact lyric: “the text ‘hold on’ appears in the sky”.
- Keep it to one line per clip, two to six words.
- Name a style: kinetic typography, handwritten, neon sign, film subtitle.
- Keep the background calm behind the words so they stay easy to read.
Lyric video styles to try
- Kinetic typography: words that slide, bounce or scale to the beat over abstract motion.
- Aesthetic loops: vintage film, rain on glass or a night drive behind the words.
- Anime and illustrated worlds that follow the story of the song.
- Visualizer style: particles, waves and light that pulse with the audio.
Pair it with a full music video
Want scenes rather than words? The AI music video generator uses the same audio-to-video approach for performance shots and story scenes. You can also animate your cover art with the AI image to video tool and use that as the lyric video background.

Frequently asked questions
Is it free?
Signing up is free, and so is looking around: every model, setting and tool is open before you pay anything. Generating a video costs credits, and the price depends on the model, the length and the resolution. The estimate sits next to the Generate button, so you always see it before you commit. A quick 3-second test at 360p on Gemini Omni Flash costs about $0.09.
How do I make a lyric video with AI?
Attach your song by URL, describe the visuals and the lyric line to show (in quotes), choose a model that takes audio, such as LTX-2.3 Fast, and generate. Repeat for each section of the song and join the clips.
Can the AI write out all my lyrics accurately?
Short lines come out best. For full verses, generate the visuals here and add the lyrics as captions in your editor, so the timing and spelling are exactly right.
How much of my song can I use?
Up to 30 seconds of audio per clip with LTX-2.3 Fast. For a longer lyric video, make several clips and join them.
Can I upload an MP3 file?
Not yet. For now audio is attached by URL, for example a link to the file in your cloud storage.
