Why every release needs a lyric video
YouTube is the biggest music platform there is, and a lyric video is the fastest way to be on it with something fans actually watch. The words give people a reason to stay to the end, to sing along, and to search for the line that stuck.
It used to mean a week in an editor or a few hundred pounds to a freelancer. Now it is two minutes inside your Ditto account, with the audio, artwork and lyrics already in place, and the captions exported with it so your video is searchable and accessible from day one.
Cut the hook as a vertical clip and you have your Shorts, Reels and TikTok post too. Same sync, same artwork, no extra work.

Lyric video maker FAQ
What is a lyric video maker?
A lyric video maker turns a song into a video that shows the words on screen in time with the vocal. Ditto’s lyric video maker syncs your lyrics to your own recording automatically, lays them over your cover artwork in a style you choose, and exports a video ready for YouTube, Shorts, Reels, TikTok and Spotify Canvas.
Is the lyric video maker free?
Your first vertical clip is free, with no card needed. A full-length video for YouTube is a one-off payment from £4.99 in HD or £6.99 in 4K. There is no subscription.
Do I need to upload my song?
No. If your music is distributed with Ditto, your releases, artwork, audio and lyrics are already in the maker as soon as you sign in. You just pick a track.
How are the lyrics synced to the music?
The maker listens to the vocal on your actual master and matches each word to the moment it is sung. Most songs sync in about two minutes. You can check and nudge any line before you download.
What do I get when I download?
A 16:9 video in HD or 4K, a 9:16 clip for socials, captions as SRT and LRC files, and a YouTube title, description and chapters ready to paste. No watermark, logo or end card.
Can I use it for a song that is not out yet?
The maker works with releases that are live on stores. Pre-release support is on the way, so you can have the video ready for release day.
Who owns the video?
You do. You confirm you own the music or have permission to use it, and everything you download is yours to publish wherever you like.
