A real alignment, not a mock-up. Press play and check the timing against the vocal.

From preparation to production

A clear path from track to composition.

Supply the track and lyrics, review the timing, then export editable text for the composition and format you need.

LyriSync came from Toby producing lyric videos with the finished track and approved lyrics already in hand, but no quick way to get checked word timing into After Effects.

Before you start

A few practical answers.

Do I need an acapella or stems?

You can supply a finished mix. LyriSync works from the track and the lyrics you provide.

Can I review timings before exporting?

Yes. Timings stay editable so you can listen back, make adjustments and export when they are ready.

Does LyriSync transcribe or guess the lyrics?

No. You supply the approved words, and LyriSync matches them to the vocal. You can check the timing before export.

Does it render a finished lyric video?

No. It prepares timed, editable text and exports for your composition or subtitle workflow. You keep the visual design and final render.
