How to use it

In Claude or ChatGPT

Use the PopNow skill "Lyric Video Maker" (lyric-video-maker) for this: Lyric video for song.mp3 with lyrics.txt, night city mood, a 16:9 version and a 9:16 one for shorts.

In a coding agent

/popnow-lyric-video-maker Lyric video for song.mp3 with lyrics.txt, night city mood, a 16:9 version and a 9:16 one for shorts.

Then try

Use the kinetic style for the vertical cut and only the chorus, 0:48 to 1:20.

The second verse is half a second late, shift it.

Questions

How does it get the timing right?

With an LRC file it uses your times directly. Without one it transcribes the song with PopNow and aligns the transcript to your real lyrics word by word, so the words on screen are always yours and only the times come from the transcription. A checker flags overlaps, rushed lines and lines too long for vertical video.

Do I need to pay for anything?

Not for the basic version: with an LRC file and your cover art or the built-in gradient, everything runs on your machine. Background loops, transcription and generated songs are PopNow runs, each quoted before it starts.

Why not just screen-record an animation?

Screen recording drops frames and drifts from the audio. Here each frame is rendered at its exact time and encoded with the song, so the words land on the vocal in the final file.

Can it make a lyric video for a famous song?

Only for songs and lyrics you have the rights to use. It never downloads lyrics of other artists' songs.

How do I make a lyric video for TikTok and YouTube at once?

Give the song and lyrics once; the agent renders a 16:9 and a 9:16 version from the same timing, so it works as a TikTok lyric video generator and a YouTube one. As an AI lyric video maker it only uses AI for the background loop and the timing, never for your words.
