Lyric videos consistently outperform standard music clips in watch time and engagement. The reason is simple: viewers stay to read the words. On TikTok, synced lyrics increase average watch time by 40-60%, which directly signals the algorithm to push your video to more people. On YouTube, lyric videos are their own genre — many artists see their lyric videos outperform official music videos in view counts.
AI-Powered Sync with Whisper
Traditional lyric videos require hours of manual keyframing — placing each line at the exact right moment. Tapedit automates this with OpenAI Whisper. Upload your audio, paste your lyrics (or let Whisper transcribe them), and the timing aligns automatically at the word level. You can then fine-tune any word timing with simple drag adjustments. What used to take hours now takes minutes.

Video coming soonFull Text Customization
Every aspect of the text is customizable: font family, weight, size, color, stroke, shadow, background bar, position (anywhere on screen), alignment, line spacing, and animation (fade, slide, scale, typewriter). You can create bold karaoke-style lyrics or subtle lower-third captions. Match your text style to your brand, album art, or the mood of the track.
