Making lyric videos with Video Maker

Video Maker turns your song into short vertical lyric videos. The lyrics sync to the vocals automatically, word by word, and you choose the section, the background and the style. You'll find it in the Video Maker section of your dashboard. The editor works best on a computer.

1. Upload your song

1. 1Go to Video Maker and click New song. Upload an MP3, WAV, M4A or FLAC (up to 50 MB and 7 minutes). A long WAV master may be over 50 MB — export it as a 320 kbps MP3; the sync quality is the same.
2. 2Choose the song's language and paste your lyrics if you have them. It's optional, but it makes the sync more accurate, especially for fast verses, heavy vocal effects, or songs that mix languages.
3. 3Soundcave processes the song in about a minute and syncs every word to the vocals.

2. Review the lyrics

Lines Soundcave heard differently from what you pasted are highlighted so you can choose which to keep. Nudge any line or single word earlier or later, drag a line on the timeline, edit the text, or place a line that wasn't found. Fixes apply to every clip of that song.

3. Make a clip

• Pick any section from 5 to 90 seconds on the waveform, or tap a lyric line to start there.
• Background: a template mix from the Soundcave library, your own video (MP4, MOV or WebM, up to 60 seconds, it loops), or your cover art.
• Template mixes cut at the pace you pick — Fast, Medium, Slow or Mixed — and never in the middle of a word. Shuffle gives you a new mix; you can also swap a single shot.
• Choose one of six fonts, the text and highlight colors, the size, and drag the lyrics anywhere on the frame.

4. Export

Export gives you a 1080 × 1920 MP4 at 30 fps, ready for Reels, TikTok and Shorts. Downloads stay available for 90 days, and you can re-export any time from the clip's saved settings. A clip has to be carried by the sung lyrics to export, so fully instrumental sections can't be exported.

Plans

• Pro: 5 songs and 100 exports a month.
• Free: one trial song to sync and preview (with a small watermark). Exporting is part of Pro.
