Before you start
Log in to your Ditto account. Ditto Lyric Video Maker pulls the releases from your account in for you, so you can choose the one you want to work with.
Live releases only. It works with tracks that are live and were distributed through Ditto. Releases that are still in progress or were distributed elsewhere can’t be used.
Credits required. Lyric video creation requires credits, which you purchase before creating a video. You’ll get 50 free credits automatically, enough to preview up to 5 songs at 10 credits per sync, and you can also download your first 30 second clip for free.
What you can make
Lyric video: a full widescreen video for YouTube and beyond
Vertical clip: made for TikTok, Reels and Shorts
Release promo: a short teaser to build hype
Spotify Canvas: a looping visual for your track on Spotify
You can create a clip from the best part of your song or use the whole track.
Full lyric videos cost 500 credits for Full HD or 700 credits for 4K. Here’s the full breakdown:
What you’re creating | Cost | What you get |
Full HD lyric video | 500 credits | Your whole song, plus a 9:16 clip |
4K lyric video | 700 credits | More detail for the big screen |
Another 9:16 clip | 100 credits | Available after a paid video or clip for this song |
Release promo | 150 credits | Your cover and your release, in motion |
Spotify Canvas | 150 credits | A looping visual for your track |
Smart tools | From 2 credits | Small changes that make it yours |
How it works
Start a new video. Choose a live release from your account and Ditto Lyric Video Maker pulls in your cover art and lyrics.
Check the words. Give your lyrics a quick once-over. Lines that may be off are flagged so you can fix them, and you can mark ad-libs here too.
Pick a style. Choose from bold, handmade, cinematic, retro and minimal looks, from Xerox and Ransom to Widescreen, Textmode and Folio. We’ll suggest styles that suit your song, like sliding your words behind you if you’re on the cover, or writing a big chorus huge.
Make it yours. Every change shows up instantly. You can:
Change the font
Choose colours pulled from your cover art, or add your own
Swap the background for your cover, your own photos, or textures like newspaper, crumpled paper or dust
Set the lyric size from small to huge
Dial the energy from calm to hype
Not feeling it? Hit Shuffle. You’ll get a fresh take, and anything you’ve picked yourself stays put.
Preview, then download. Watch it play through, then download your video when you’re happy.
