Lyric videos give fans the words without a full production
A lyric video is often the fastest way to give a track a visual presence, especially for tracks without a full music video budget. Artlink builds timed lyric captions directly over AI-generated visuals in Video mode, so the words move at the pace of the song.
How to set it up
Add your lyrics and track
Enter the lyric text you want captioned and attach the audio track it should follow.
Choose a visual and aspect ratio
Pick a generated visual style and the aspect ratio that matches where you'll post the video.
Generate and review timing
Check that captions land where you expect, then download the finished lyric video.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I make a lyric video with Artlink?
In AI Studio's Video mode, add your lyric text and audio track, choose a generated visual and aspect ratio, then generate and review the timed captions before downloading.
Can I export a lyric video for YouTube and Instagram from the same generation?
You choose the aspect ratio per export. Generate separately in 16:9 for YouTube and 9:16 for Instagram or TikTok if you want both.
Does the lyric video need a full music video concept?
No. A lyric video pairs timed captions with a generated visual, which is a lighter production than a full narrative music video.
