A Guide to Creating Lyrics for Karaoke Videos

Welcome to this informative guide where we will dive into the exciting realm of lyrics creation for karaoke videos. In this guide, we will walk you through the process of creating lyrics for your karaoke videos and provide valuable tips to ensure a smooth and successful experience.

Getting Started

First and foremost, it's important to note that creating lyrics becomes available only after generating the full tracks of the song. So make sure you have your complete song ready to go before proceeding with the lyrics creation. Technically, creating the lyrics is quite simple. However, it's essential to understand each functionality thoroughly to achieve accurate and engaging lyrics. Let's kick things off by clicking the "Create Lyrics" button.

Choosing the Language

The first step in the lyrics creation process is specifying the language of the song. This step is super crucial as it determines how the AI will understand and write the lyrics. By defining the language, you are informing the AI about the specific language of the song. For example, if your song is in English, set the language option to English. This ensures that the AI focuses on understanding English and generates lyrics in the English language. Similarly, if your song is in Chinese, set the language option to Chinese, and the AI will write the lyrics in Chinese text. It's important to pay close attention during this step because if you misguide the AI by selecting the wrong language, you may end up with completely messed up lyrics. Once you set the language, there's no going back, so ensure its accuracy for the best results.

Lyrics Options

Once you've specified the language, it's time to explore the two available options for lyrics creation: "Lyrics from Sources" and "AI-generated Lyrics."

Option One: Lyrics from Sources

The "Lyrics from Sources" option involves the AI scouring the web for preexisting lyrics of the song. It selectively searches for lyrics that are officially confirmed and have accurate timing. When this option finds lyrics in sources, they are almost 100% ready to use for creating a karaoke video. A valuable tip is to check for subtitles in the right language while playing the chosen song on YouTube. If subtitles are available, the AI will recognize them as lyrics from sources. It's important to note that lyrics from sources are not editable, but that's okay because they have already been checked for accuracy.

Option Two: AI-generated Lyrics

The "AI-generated Lyrics" option is where the magic happens. By selecting this option, the AI will listen to the singer and generate lyrics based on what it hears. This process may take a while, but you can still enjoy listening to the full tracks while it's in progress. Once the AI has finished generating the lyrics, it will display them for your review. You'll notice that AI-generated lyrics may differ from the lyrics from sources, and there might be some mistakes. Just like us humans, it can be difficult for the AI to fully understand the singer's words on the first listen. Thankfully, the AI-generated lyrics are editable. This means you have the flexibility to correct any mistakes or make adjustments to ensure the accuracy of the lyrics. We'll cover the editing and fixing process in a separate guide to provide you with step-by-step instructions.

Finalizing the Lyrics

If the AI doesn't find lyrics in sources, it will automatically start the AI-generated lyrics process. However, if you already have lyrics from sources, like in our case, you can switch back to lyrics from sources and proceed with creating your karaoke video. Before creating the video, take a moment to fine-tune the timing of the lyrics display. You can control the timing by adjusting the value in milliseconds, with the standard being 0.5 seconds. Feel free to experiment with different timings until you find the best result for your video.

Creating the Karaoke Video

Once you've finalized the lyrics and adjusted the timing, it's time to create your karaoke video. Simply click the "Create Video" button, and please note that it's set up to use the lyrics from sources if available. Congratulations, you have successfully created the lyrics for your karaoke video! You can now proceed to the next steps in your creative journey, such as customizing the visuals, adding effects, and sharing your masterpiece with the world.
In conclusion, creating lyrics for karaoke videos is an exciting process that requires careful attention to detail. By following the steps outlined in this guide, you can create accurate and engaging lyrics for your karaoke videos, whether through lyrics from sources or AI-generated lyrics.
