Upload your song and ClipNova turns the lyrics to video: every sung word lights up on screen in time, in the caption style you pick, over an animated scene for each line. An AI lyrics video generator for sing-alongs, worship songs, covers and love songs, as a 16:9 animated lyric video for YouTube or a 9:16 clip for Shorts, TikTok and Reels.
Below, one original love song, "Paper Boats", goes from an MP3 to a finished lyric video: Nora folds the words she never said into paper boats for Theo. The frames are illustrations of the kind of lyric video you can make with Music to Video.
Open Music to Video and upload your song as an MP3, WAV, M4A, AAC or OGG file up to 20 MB. Then describe the look in your own words: the style, the characters and the places. The lyric video runs as long as your track.
You don't type or time anything. ClipNova isolates the vocals from your mix, reads every sung word with its timing and splits the song into lines, so each line appears exactly when it is sung.
Captions are on by default and burned into the video, with the sung word highlighted as the voice moves. Pick one of more than 20 caption styles: Karaoke for a yellow word-by-word sweep, Hormozi for heavy capitals, Neon, Pop, Highlighter or the serif Elegant.
Behind the words, each sung line gets its own animated scene in the world you described, so the picture follows the lyrics. When the chorus comes back, its scene comes back too, from a fresh camera angle, and instrumental parts get scenes that match the mood.
Render in 16:9 for a YouTube lyric video, in 9:16 for Shorts, TikTok and Reels, or in 1:1 for feed posts. Each render makes the one format you pick, so make the song once per format you need.
Choose Base (480p), Pro (720p, cuts on the beat) or Ultra (1080p, cuts on the beat). Your recording stays the soundtrack, unchanged, and the lyric video downloads as one MP4 with no watermark.
Most lyric video makers put your words over stock clips or a still background, and you time every line by hand. ClipNova starts from the recording: it hears when each word is sung, puts the lyrics on screen in time, and makes an animated scene for every line in the world you describe.
That is the difference between a lyric template and lyrics to video that follows the song. Kids can sing along word by word, a congregation can follow a worship song on the screen, and a cover gets a video that matches its words.
What it does not do: it does not write or sing the song, and it does not change your audio. Upload a recording you own or have a license for.
Want the song told as a story, where the scenes matter more than the words on screen? See the AI music video generator.
Four kinds of lyric video that work on YouTube, Shorts, TikTok and Reels. The frames are illustrations of the kind of video you can make.
Open Music to Video, upload your song, describe the look and the characters, pick a format, a quality and a caption style, and generate. ClipNova reads the lyrics from the vocals, times every word and makes an animated scene for each line, with your song as the soundtrack.
The AI does it. ClipNova isolates the vocals, reads every sung word with its timing and puts the lyrics on screen as the song plays. There is no field to paste lyrics, so a clear lead vocal gives the most accurate captions; heavy effects or several voices singing at once can make a word come out wrong.
No. ClipNova needs the recorded song: it does not write music or sing typed lyrics. Upload the finished track and the lyrics come from what is sung.
More than 20, and most highlight the sung word as the voice moves: Karaoke (a yellow word-by-word sweep), Hormozi, Neon, Pop, Highlighter, Elegant, Movie and more. You can also switch captions off for a video with no words on screen.
Yes. The lyrics are read in the language they are sung, so a Spanish, French, Portuguese or German song gets captions in that language.
16:9 for a YouTube lyric video, 9:16 for Shorts, TikTok and Reels, or 1:1 for feed posts (Ultra renders 16:9 and 9:16). Each render makes one format; for a YouTube video and a Short, make the song in each format.
As long as your track, with files up to 20 MB. Plans start at $19/mo; the cost depends on the length of the song and the quality you pick, and the app shows the exact credits before you generate. Credits reserved but not used are returned.
Yes. They download with no watermark and every plan includes commercial rights for the visuals. Your song stays as it is, so only upload music you own or have a license for.
