How to Create Your First Karaoke or Lyric Video

Getting Started From Your Dashboard

Step 1: Access the Dashboard

• After logging in, you'll see your dashboard which should be empty if you haven’t created any videos yet.

• This is where all your created videos will appear.

Step 2: Start a New Project

• Click the Create button in the top-right corner of your dashboard.
  

  

Choose Your Starting Point

You have two options for creating a video:

Option 1: From a song with vocals

• Use this if you have a regular song that has vocals

• The system will automatically separate vocals from the music

• You can create either a karaoke video or a lyric video

Option 2: From an instrumental file

• Use this if you already have an instrumental track

• Upload your instrumental audio file and sync it later

Creating Your Video

Regardless of which option you choose, follow these steps to complete your video:

Step 2: Add Your Audio or Video

• You'll see the "1-click Karaoke/Lyric Video Generator" screen

• Upload your audio or video file by either:

  • Dragging and dropping your file onto the upload area

  • Clicking "browse files" to select from your device

    

• You can use any audio or video file with vocals - songs, music videos, or spoken content

Step 3: Add Lyrics

Option A: Adding Lyrics Manually

If you have the lyrics ready, paste them into the text area. For best results with AI syncing:

• Include only the actual words sung/spoken.

• Remove annotations like [Verse], [Chorus], [x2], etc.

• Keep the exact order and number of repetitions as in the audio.

Option B: Automatic Lyrics Transcription

If you want to save time searching for lyrics, or simply don't have them, you can have the system generate them for you.

• Check the box "I don't have lyrics - transcribe with AI."

• A language selector will appear. Select the language of the song from the over 40 supported options.

This feature uses the Commercial AI Sync Engine and requires 15 AI Credits/min. For better understanding of this engine we suggest checking this article below:

Step 4: Selecting Your Sync Engine

After adding your lyrics (either by pasting or by choosing transcription), select your synchronization preference in the AI Sync Engine section:

• Base (Standard Engine): Works well for most songs. (0.5 AI Credits/min)

• Commercial (Enhanced Engine): Recommended for complex, fast-paced tracks, rap, or layered vocals where superior timing accuracy is needed to avoid manual correction in the Sync Editor. (7 AI Credits/min)
  

Step 5: Add a Title

• Give your video a title in the field provided (required)

• This helps you identify it later in your dashboard

• A good format is "Artist - Song Title"

• Click on ‘Generate’ to create your karaoke/lyric video

  

Generating a video with AI requires AI credits. If your audio/video is about 4 minutes long, it will require 4 credits.

Step 5: Generate Your Video

• Click the purple "Generate" button in the bottom-right corner

• The AI will automatically:

  • Extract or remove the vocals from your audio/video file (for karaoke videos)

  • Sync the lyrics to your audio

  • Prepare your video for customization

• You'll be able to customize and fine-tune everything before exporting
