AI Lyric Video Generator

    Inspiration: A huge subcategory of "Music Videos" services on Fiverr is "Lyric Videos". Independent musicians, bands, and content creators all need to visualize their songs for YouTube and other platforms, and lyric videos are the lowest cost, fastest production method.

    Target Customers: Independent musicians, bands, podcasters, content creators wanting to create visuals for background music.

    Pain Points: Manually creating lyric videos is extremely tedious "manual labor". You need to precisely align each lyric line with the audio timeline and design dynamic, emotionally-matching animation effects for text. Using professional software (like After Effects) has high barriers; using simple templates appears cheap and monotonous.

    Solution (Micro-SaaS): A smart lyric video generation tool. Users upload audio files and LRC lyric files (or plain text lyrics), select a visual style, and AI automatically completes lyric-audio synchronization and generates dynamic, beautiful lyric videos.

    MVP Core Features:

    • Material Upload: Users upload MP3/WAV audio files and LRC (with timestamps) or TXT (plain text) lyric files.
    • AI Auto-Sync (Core Feature): If users upload plain text lyrics, AI uses speech recognition technology to automatically align lyrics with audio, generating timestamps.
    • Style Template Library: Provide multiple visual style templates like "Kinetic Typography", "Minimal & Clean", "Retro VHS", "Sentimental Film".
    • Background Options: Users can choose dynamic video backgrounds (from integrated free stock libraries), solid color backgrounds, or upload their own images/videos.
    • Smart Animation: AI adjusts text animation speed and intensity based on song rhythm and energy.
    • Branding: Allow users to upload logos or artist photos, place them in video corners.
    • HD Video Export: Download 1080p MP4 video files.

    Development Investment (Technical Implementation): Medium. Core is audio processing and text animation synchronization.

    • Core Technology:
      • Audio Processing: Use Python library Librosa to analyze audio beat tracking and energy (RMS) - this data can drive animations.
      • Video Synthesis: Remotion is an excellent choice. Can create very cool React-driven text animation templates, then fill with AI-analyzed data and lyrics.
    • LLM API Calls:
      • Lyric Sync (if no LRC file): Can call OpenAI Whisper API (word-level timestamp version) or AssemblyAI to generate precise timestamps for plain text lyrics.
    • Core Assets:
      • High-Quality Templates: Animation template visual effects and creativity are key to attracting users.
