Styles

Find the right look for your song.

• Reducing flashing and motion in your video

  Find the controls that make movement gentler, without assuming a video has passed a safety test.

• Why is a style or font greyed out?

  The reason is shown on the card or chip. What it means and what to pick instead.

• Why does lyrik suggest these three styles for my song?

  How the picks read your song and cover, and how to browse the rest.

• Using Broadside in lyrik.fm

  Every line screen-printed as a gig poster, the lyric filling the frame.

• Using Deck in lyrik.fm

  One to three huge centred words with a different type effect on every screen.

• Using Diary in lyrik.fm

  Your lyrics handwritten into a notebook as you sing, with your cover taped in.

• Using Flicker in lyrik.fm

  Black-and-white lettering written on one phrase at a time, with hard cuts and white flashes on the beat.

• Using Folio in lyrik.fm

  Your song as a magazine feature: each line a pull-quote, your cover in a picture window.

• Using Marker in lyrik.fm

  Big hand-lettered words written stroke by stroke on paper, a chalkboard or an old TV screen.

• Using Now Playing in lyrik.fm

  A clean scrolling lyrics screen washed in your cover’s colours: the safe, simple choice.

• Using Postscript in lyrik.fm

  A quiet serif stanza over a soft-focus picture, with a few words written by hand as you sing them.

• Using Ransom in lyrik.fm

  Every word cut from magazine letters and slapped down on a desk as you sing.

• Using Tapestry in lyrik.fm

  The whole song builds into one picture as it’s sung, then the camera pulls back to reveal it.

• Using Textmode in lyrik.fm

  The whole frame as text characters: your cover drawn in letters, your lyrics as giant pixel words.

• Using Texts in lyrik.fm

  Your lyrics as a phone chat: bubbles, typing dots, reactions and read receipts. Made for 9:16.

• Using Widescreen in lyrik.fm

  A film title sequence over your cover, which moves gently in depth.

• Using Xerox Poster in lyrik.fm

  Every phrase becomes a photocopied gig flyer, set as big as it will go.

• Using Xerox in lyrik.fm

  Torn paper strips of lyrics over a photocopied, cut-up collage of your cover.

• Which lyric video styles can I choose?

  Every style at a glance, grouped by feel, most taking their colours from your cover.
