# Lyric Video Generator > A lyric video generator turns a song and its words into a video, and Kenerate's Director does it from 3 inputs: your track, the lyrics (up to 3,000 characters) and a visual direction. Pick Lyrics Video under Music Video; the Director listens to the track, plans scenes on its sections and puts the lines on screen.

The best ones treat the text as part of the picture: a line written in the sky, on a sign, on a card held to camera. That's the brief the Director follows in Lyrics Video mode, title-card shots for the key lines and words designed into the frames for the rest. ### How the Director plans to your song With a track attached, the Director first analyses it, tempo, sections, energy, hit points and lyrics, and plans scenes around that. Verses get calmer coverage, choruses bigger moments, and cuts land on the hits. The script and plan stay editable, so you can change a scene and re-render its shots. ### What you control The form sets the brief; the editor lets you change everything after. - The song: your upload, or a Ken Music song from a description. - The words: the lyrics you paste, up to 3,000 characters. - The look: visual direction and up to 10 reference images. - The frame: 16:9, 9:16 or 1:1, and 15 seconds to 4 minutes. - The shots: re-render, edit or reorder them on the timeline. ## FAQ Q: How do I make a lyric video with AI? A: Open Director, choose the Music Video quick start and pick Lyrics Video. Upload your song, paste the lyrics, describe the look, choose the format and length, and start. The Director listens to the track, plans scenes on its sections, renders the shots and title cards, and you export the MP4. Q: Do the lyrics appear in sync with the song? A: That is what the Lyrics Video edit is built for. The Director analyses the track for tempo, sections, energy, hit points and lyrics, then places the lines as title cards and inside the scenes as they come in the song. Review the timeline before exporting and re-render any shot that's off. Q: Can I make a lyric video without a song? A: Yes. Leave the upload empty and describe the song instead, for example "dreamy synth-pop, female vocals, about summer nights". Ken Music writes it, with your lyrics if you paste them, and the Director cuts the video to it. Q: Will the AI spell my lyrics correctly? A: Paste the lyrics in the form and the Director is told to keep every word exactly as given; title cards use an image model chosen for clean lettering. Words drawn inside scenes can still come out wrong, so check those frames and re-render a shot if a word is off. Q: Can I make a vertical lyric video for TikTok or Reels? A: Yes. The Music Video form offers 16:9, 9:16 and 1:1. Pick 9:16 for TikTok, Reels and Shorts; exported at 1080p, that's a 1080 × 1920 frame. Q: How long can a lyric video be? A: The Music Video form takes 15 seconds to 4 minutes, in 5-second steps. For a longer song, make it in parts or cut a radio edit first. Q: Is the lyric video generator free? A: No. Director is on Kenerate's paid plans; free accounts can open it and watch the examples. Ken Music and Avatar Talk work on the free plan if you want to make the song or a singing clip first. Q: Can I add subtitles to the finished lyric video? A: Yes. From the export list, send the video to Auto Subtitles, which burns timed captions into the picture. It is built for speech, so check sung lines carefully. ## Related pages - AI music video generator: https://kenerateai.com/ai-music-video-generator - AI lyric video maker: https://kenerateai.com/ai-lyric-video-maker - AI lyrics generator: https://kenerateai.com/ai-lyrics-generator - Lyrics to song: https://kenerateai.com/lyrics-to-song - AI music generator: https://kenerateai.com/ai-music-generator ## Sources - Kenerate Director: https://kenerateai.com/app/director - Kenerate Ken Music: https://kenerateai.com/app/music - Kenerate Auto Subtitles: https://kenerateai.com/app/tool/subtitles
