Colour wipes across the line as it is sung, the rest of the verse falls out of focus, and the whole thing scrolls.

Make your own lyric video

Shows a verse with the line currently being sung lit and the rest held back, so the eye stays where the voice is. Say a sentence like the one below and your agent writes you a different one — free, in your browser.

Not settings — each one builds something else.

  • >A lyric card for a chorus, where the repeated line gets bigger each time it comes round.

  • >Show these lyrics two lines at a time over a still photo of the band.

  • >A poem instead of a song — same idea, but let each line sit longer.

What it worked out on its own

  • The line is sung, not merely lit: the accent copy is wiped across it over exactly the frames the line lasts, so the fill answers how long the line is without a bar.

  • Depth of field does what greying out cannot — the surrounding lines stay readable while it stays unambiguous which one is now.

  • Accent belongs only to the line happening now. Sung lines settle to full ink and the colour moves on with the voice.

  • The active line holds the centre of the frame and the verse slides past it, so the type occupies the middle of a 9:16 frame rather than hanging off the top.
