What a Lyric Video Is
Typography That Moves With Your Music
A lyric video is an animated typography piece where your song's words appear on screen in perfect sync with the audio. Think of it as a visual stream of your lyrics, treated with motion design techniques that reflect the mood, tempo, and energy of your track.
Unlike a traditional music video, a lyric video requires zero filming. The entire visual experience is built from typography animation, motion graphics, and abstract visual elements — all timed to your music. It is the most accessible way to give your release a professional visual companion.
Independent artists use lyric videos for YouTube releases, social media promotion, and as engaging alternatives to static album art on streaming platforms. A well-produced lyric video keeps listeners engaged longer, which directly supports the YouTube algorithm and helps new listeners connect with your words on first listen.
Every project we take on is built from scratch. We do not use templates. Your track's tempo map drives every animation curve, so the visual rhythm feels inseparable from the music. The result is a video that looks custom-made because it is.

What You Provide
Everything We Need to Get Started
Required Materials
- Final audio track (WAV or high-quality MP3, 320kbps preferred)
- Complete lyrics text (with section markers for verse/chorus/bridge if you have them)
- 1 to 3 reference links — existing lyric videos whose style you like
- Any brand colors, font preferences, or album art you want incorporated
If you have a specific creative direction in mind, a brief mood description helps us narrow the visual style quickly. Something as simple as "dark and moody with slow reveals" or "bright and energetic like neon pop" gives us a solid starting point. We will also review your references and propose a visual direction before production begins, so you are never in the dark about how your video will look.

Our Process
How Your Lyric Video Comes Together
Submit Materials
Send us your audio track, lyrics, reference links, and any style notes through our project form. We review everything within 24 hours.
First 30 Seconds
We design the opening 30 seconds of your video and send it for approval. This locks in the visual direction before we build the full piece.
Full Production
Once the style is approved, we produce the complete video. Standard turnaround is 7 to 14 business days depending on tier and complexity.
Revise & Deliver
You review the full draft, and we complete one included revision round. Final delivery is a high-bitrate MP4 in 16:9, ready for YouTube.

FAQ
Common Questions About Lyric Videos
How long does a lyric video take?
Standard turnaround is 7 to 14 business days from the point we have all your materials and the first-30-second style is approved. Rush delivery is available for an additional 30-50% surcharge, depending on our current production queue.
Can you match my brand colors and fonts?
Absolutely. We build every lyric video around your existing visual identity if you have one. Send us your brand colors, fonts, album art, or any visual references, and we will incorporate them into the typography and motion design.
What format do you deliver?
All lyric videos are delivered as high-bitrate MP4 files in 16:9 aspect ratio, optimized for YouTube upload. If you need a vertical 9:16 version for TikTok, Instagram Reels, or YouTube Shorts, that is available as an add-on.
Can I get a vertical version for TikTok?
Yes. The vertical 9:16 add-on is $79 for personal projects and $199 for commercial use. We reframe the typography and motion design for the vertical format rather than simply cropping, so the video works natively on mobile-first platforms.
Do you create the lyrics text or do I provide it?
You provide the lyrics. We sync them to your track with precise timing. If you only have a rough draft or need help formatting, let us know and we can clean things up as part of the production process at no extra charge.
What if I want changes after the first draft?
Every package includes one full revision round after the first complete draft is delivered. Additional revision rounds are $49 for personal projects and $149 for commercial projects. The first-30-second style approval step is designed to minimize major revisions later, since we lock in the visual direction early.
