Lyric Video is a Kaiber-developed workflow that turns your song into a dynamic music video. It analyses your audio, pulls the lyrics straight from your track, and weaves them into the visuals, timed to the song.

Your lyrics don't just float on top of the video. They become part of the world. Painted on walls. Drifting in the sky. Scratched into a tabletop. Whatever you dream up.

Where to find it

Head to your Dashboard and open Lyric Video from the workflows.

How to make your lyric video

1. Upload your song.

2. Check your lyrics. Kaiber transcribes the lyrics from your audio automatically. Give them a quick read before you move on. If a word came out wrong, fix it here. It's much easier than spotting it after your video's done.

3. Trim your track. You don't have to use the whole song. Pick just the section you want, like the chorus or that one killer verse.

4. Add a reference image (optional). Got a look in mind? Upload an image to guide the content and style of your video.

5. Write your description. Tell Kaiber what you want to see and how your lyrics should appear in the scene. This is where the magic really happens.

6. Pick your aspect ratio. Choose 16:9, 1:1 or 9:16.

7. Generate.

Writing a good description

Think of your description like directions for a film crew. The more clearly you describe the scene and where the words live, the better your result.

Here are two examples to get you going:

  • "The lyrics are formed by clouds drifting across a sunset sky."

  • "A man walks through city streets, the lyrics are spray-painted in stencil art on the walls of buildings."

Notice how each one does two jobs. It sets the scene and how the words show up in it.

Focus your prompt on:

What things look like

  • What the lyrics look like

  • The scene / setting

  • People (Optional)

  • Clothing (Optional)

  • Lighting

  • Style

Action (who or what moves and how)

Pro tip

Before making a full length video test with a trimmed section of your song to fine tune your prompts.
