Have you ever listened to a song and couldn\u2019t make out all the lyrics? If so, then you may have searched for it on YouTube and found a lyric video to go along with the music.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you didn\u2019t, then you may be wondering what a lyric video is! It\u2019s simply a video that plays a song and displays the lyrics to it on the screen. Typically, the text is overlaid across the front of a still image or stock footage that matches the theme or atmosphere of the music.<\/span><\/p>\n

This type of content is not only useful for discovering or recalling the words to a song, but it can also be a great way for YouTubers to make money! Lyric videos are easy to make and don\u2019t take much time, so you can pump them out and rack up views to increase your earnings from <\/span>video monetization<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Plus, if you\u2019re a musician<\/strong>, lyric videos are an excellent way to promote your songs<\/strong> and help your fans sing along!<\/span><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s go over how to create a lyric video for YouTube in the following step-by-step guide.<\/span><\/p>\n

Step-By-Step Guide To Creating a Lyric Video<\/span><\/span> for<\/span> YouTube<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Below are the steps for making a lyric video and then posting it to YouTube once it\u2019s complete.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Step #1: Choose a Song<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Before you can write any lyrics, you must first choose a song!<\/span><\/p>\n

This is not a decision to make lightly. If you want to make a lyric video of a song by another artist, then you\u2019ll have to <\/span>get permission<\/span><\/a> from them or their licensing company beforehand. Otherwise, your lyric video might get taken down for copyright violations, and all the effort you put into it will be wasted.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Of course, if you\u2019re making a lyric video for your own song that you recorded and released, then you don\u2019t have to worry about getting permission from anyone (except yourself!).<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

\n

Step #2: Choose a Video Maker Tool<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Next, you must choose a video maker tool.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This can be a hard decision to make \u2013 even harder than selecting a song \u2013 because there are a lot of different options out there.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

That\u2019s why we recommend considering one important factor when choosing a video maker tool: your budget and your skill level.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s say you\u2019re not looking to spend much<\/span><\/strong>, if any money on your lyric video creations. No problem! You\u2019ll find no shortage of free websites that will give you access to basic video and text editing tools, and sometimes even free stock images and footage.<\/span><\/p>\n

But what if budget is of no concern?<\/strong> In that case, you may want to pay for a subscription to a video editor that comes with more tools, more features, more stock images, and more exports per month.<\/span><\/p>\n

When it comes to skill level, you should think about how good you are at using a video editor and how much effort you want to put into making a lyric video.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

With a paid program like Adobe Premiere Pro, you can customize your lyric video and make something truly professional and unique to your brand \u2013 providing you know what you\u2019re doing!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t know what you\u2019re doing, though, you can still make amazing-looking lyric videos! Some video editor tools come with templates and features that are specifically designed to help you make a lyric video in a matter of minutes. They\u2019re so easy to use that anyone can do it!<\/span><\/p>\n

Here are some of our recommendations for video maker tools<\/strong> to try based on whether they\u2019re paid, professional software or free, beginner websites.<\/span><\/p>\n
