Choose how the lyrics are arranged in your video. We have several layout options like Karaoke, Scrolling, Single, Duet and Dual Language. The Default or Karaoke are usually a good option for karaoke-style videos. The Single or Scrolling layouts are a good choice for lyric videos.
Default: Multiple lines at once (ideal for karaoke videos)
Karaoke: Multiple lines at once, with smoother transitions and improved text fitting, best for karaoke videos.
Scrolling: The lyrics smoothly scroll across the screen
Single: One line at a time (better for lyric videos)
Duet: For songs with two singers/voices. Choose a unique style for each.
Dual Language: Ideal for displaying a translated version of your lyrics alongside the original ones.

Add progress bars, countdowns, and lead-in bars to your video.
Show progress bar on breaks
Enabling this will show a progress/loading bar anytime there’s an instrumental break longer than the number of seconds specified.
Show 5-second countdowns
Enabling this will show a 5-second countdown anytime there’s a gap longer than 5 seconds but shorter than the number specified in the “Show progress bar on breaks” option (if you have enabled it).
Show lead-in bars
Enabling this option will show a lead-in bar just before the first word of a line starts. You can choose whether this is shown for every line or only after there’s a pause. This is ideal for karaoke-style videos to cue the singer on time.
You can trim the start and/or end of your song by adjusting the slider. This will, of course, affect the preview as well as the final export.

From here, you can access our Lyrics Editor, which lets you edit your lyrics. You can fix mistranscribed lyrics, adjust word timing, or split words into syllables for precise timing—all from the Lyrics Editor.
