Videos made with this tool

  • Line by line story

    Every sung line gets its own shot: a coffee going cold, an empty chair, a phone that never rings.

  • A chorus you can read

    Each time the hook comes back, the words light up one by one on the singing, over a new image of the same story.

  • Rap verse as a comic

    Each bar becomes a panel of a city at night, inked in Comic style, with the cuts landing on the beat.

  • Ballad in film noir

    A couple's whole story told across the song, in Black and white with deep shadows and the same two faces throughout.

How it works

How to make an animated lyrics video

  1. 01

    Add your song

    Upload your recording as an MP3, WAV or M4A file, up to 4 minutes and 50 MB, or pick it from My music. The lyrics are transcribed automatically and for free.

  2. 02

    Paste your lyrics, if you have them

    This step is optional: your text becomes the reference for placing every line, which makes the timing even tighter.

  3. 03

    Describe the world of your video

    Say where the story happens and who lives it, pick a visual style and turn on consistent characters if you want the same faces in every shot. AI writes shots that follow the sung lines inside that world.

  4. 04

    Turn on the subtitles and launch

    Switch on lyric subtitles, timed word by word, and add an audio visualizer if you like. The maximum credit cost is shown before launch, then you download your 9:16 MP4.

Why Rewatch

Why use Rewatch as an animated lyrics video generator

  • Lyrics become scenes

    Each shot shows what the line being sung is about, so the video tells the story of your words instead of just printing them over a background.

  • Words on screen, word by word

    Lyric subtitles follow the singing one word at a time, with nothing to type, position or keyframe.

  • One world from first line to last

    Every shot is written inside the world you describe, and consistent characters keep the same face from the first verse to the last chorus.

  • Studio styles to match the mood

    Watercolor for tender songs, Neon futuristic for electronic tracks, Comic for rap, Black and white for heartbreak, and the rest of the studio's visual styles.

  • Your own lyrics as the reference

    Transcription is automatic and free. Paste your lyrics and they guide the placement of every line, for even tighter timing.

  • Your recording, untouched

    The video runs the full length of the track, up to 4 minutes, with your original audio at full volume and no voice added on top.

What is an animated lyrics video generator?

An animated lyrics video generator turns song lyrics into a video where the words appear on screen alongside moving visuals. The classic version is kinetic typography: text that pops, slides and bounces with the music. Another approach is to illustrate what the lyrics actually say, one line after another, so viewers see the story the song tells.

Rewatch takes that second path, on your actual recording. It transcribes the song, writes shots that illustrate the lines being sung inside the world you describe, keeps characters consistent and cuts on the sung lines and the beats. Word by word lyric subtitles are one switch away, and the result is a vertical 9:16 MP4 with your track at full volume.
