How to Add Lyrics to Your Video

1

Start with your song

Upload the audio track in MP3, WAV, or M4A format. Capify transcribes the vocals and creates a first draft of the lyric timing.

2

Add your video background

Open Visuals and upload the footage you want behind the lyrics. You can also use your cover artwork or choose a stock background.

3

Check words and timing

Play the preview and review the lyrics. Use the lyric editor to correct words and adjust their timing to match the vocals.

4

Style and export

Choose readable fonts, colors, and word animations. Preview the result, then choose a paid plan for a full-length video export.

Put lyrics over your own footage

Keep the visuals from your music video, performance, or cover artwork and add a timed lyric layer. Start with the song audio, then add your footage in Visuals. Use short lines and a contrasting text color so the words stay readable when the background changes. For a chorus clip, check the first and last words of the section as well as the timing in between.

Fix lyrics that appear too early or too late

Listen to the vocal rather than relying only on the beat. Review the start and end of each phrase in the lyric editor, correct any misheard words, and replay the transition into the next line. Fast rap, drawn-out notes, and backing vocals may need manual adjustments. Always watch the preview before exporting.
