Tips & Best Practices
Pro Tip
For professional lyric videos, use "Sentence" mode with a clean sans-serif font and add an outline for readability. The "Wobbly Bounce" animation works great for upbeat tracks, while "Standard Entry" suits ballads and slower songs. Position lyrics in the lower third of the frame to leave room for visual elements above.
