Lyric video maker with automatic sync
A lyric video is often the first video an independent release gets — it is quick to publish, it helps listeners sing along, and it gives a new song a home on YouTube before a full music video exists. The slow part has always been timing: placing every line by hand against the waveform can take an evening for a single track.
Clipbeat does the timing for you. Upload your song, and the lyrics are transcribed with word-level timestamps, laid out on a timeline and ready to style. You spend your time on the look of the video instead of on nudging subtitles.

How it works
- STEP 1
Upload your song
Drop an mp3 or wav file — including a track you downloaded from Suno. The audio is analysed and the vocals are transcribed automatically.
- STEP 2
Check the words
Every line and word is editable. Fix a misheard lyric, split a long line or adjust a timestamp directly on the timeline.
- STEP 3
Pick a style and background
Choose how lyrics appear, then add AI-generated images, stock footage or an audio visualizer behind them.
- STEP 4
Export
Render the video in your browser in the format you need — 16:9 for YouTube, 9:16 for Shorts, Reels and TikTok, or square.
Lyrics that follow the vocal, word by word
Transcription runs on Whisper, a speech recognition model that handles more than fifty languages. It returns a timestamp for each word, not just for each line, which is what makes a lyric video feel locked to the performance.
Clear vocals usually need little or no correction. Heavily processed, layered or buried vocals can confuse any transcription model, so every word remains editable — you are never stuck with a mistake.
Three ways to show the lyrics
Different songs need different treatments, so the lyric track has three display modes:
- Single line — one line at a time, the classic subtitle look for most lyric videos.
- Word by word — words appear as they are sung, good for rap, fast verses and short-form clips.
- All lines — the full verse stays on screen with the current line in focus, closer to a karaoke layout.
Backgrounds that match the mood
A lyric video does not need a film crew, but it does need something to look at. You can generate background images with AI models such as Flux or Ideogram from a short description of the mood, animate a still into a short moving shot, search Pexels and Pixabay for stock footage, or run an audio visualizer that reacts to the track.
Scene changes can follow the beat of the song, so cuts land where a listener expects them instead of drifting against the rhythm.
What it costs
Every new account gets 50 free credits with no credit card. Automatic lyrics cost 2 credits per song, and an AI background image with Flux Dev costs 2 credits, so a first lyric video fits comfortably inside the free credits.
Exporting in your browser never uses credits. On the Free plan exports are 720p with a small watermark; Indie ($12/month) exports 1080p without a watermark.
Who it is for
Clipbeat is built for independent musicians, producers and small labels who release often and cannot hire an editor for every single. If you can describe the look you want and drag clips on a timeline, you can make a lyric video here.
Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to make a lyric video?
Transcription of a typical three-minute song takes about a minute. Most of the remaining time goes into choosing a style and backgrounds, which is up to you.
Can I fix wrong lyrics?
Yes. Every word and its timing can be edited on the timeline, and you can paste your own lyrics if you prefer.
Which languages are supported?
Whisper supports more than fifty languages and detects the language automatically. Accuracy is best on clear vocals.
Can I make a vertical lyric video for TikTok or Reels?
Yes. Switch the project to 9:16 and export; you can also export short sections of the song for clips.
