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

Step 1

Add your lyrics and track

Enter the lyric text you want captioned and attach the audio track it should follow.

Step 2

Choose a visual and aspect ratio

Pick a generated visual style and the aspect ratio that matches where you'll post the video.

Step 3

Generate and review timing

Check that captions land where you expect, then download the finished lyric video.

Best use cases

Pre-release lyric teasers

Give fans a preview of a new track's lyrics before the full release goes live.

YouTube lyric uploads

Publish a 16:9 lyric video for tracks that don't have an official music video.

Social lyric clips

Cut a memorable line into a vertical 9:16 clip built for Reels or TikTok.

Platform fit

YouTube

Export at 16:9 for a standard lyric video upload alongside a track's audio release.

Instagram and TikTok

Use 9:16 for a vertical lyric clip that fills the screen on Reels, Stories, and TikTok.

Feed posts

Use the 1:1 export when posting a lyric clip to an Instagram or Facebook feed.

Mistakes to avoid

Uploading lyrics without checking that caption timing matches the track.
Exporting 16:9 for a vertical platform and losing screen space to letterboxing.
Treating a lyric video as a full music video with a matching narrative visual.
Skipping a lyric video on tracks that already have strong or quotable lines.

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.
