3D lyrics editing in Alight Motion has really turned into a way for creators who make Reels, Shorts and Status videos. When I watch a 3D lyrics edit that is done right I no longer see text the way I used to. Of words just showing up on the screen like a simple caption the 3D lyrics have real depth, movement, perspective and lighting almost as if the words are objects floating inside the shot rather than just text on top. A line can move toward the camera before disappearing another can slide in from the side with a turn softer lines have a movement while big chorus parts get more push with stronger 3D movement and more effects added on top.
After you pick a song set up a 9:16 project place your audio on the timeline and then focus on getting the 3D lyrics ready. Breaking the 3D lyrics into parts or single lines of putting all the song into one text block gives you much more control over timing later. Timing is the part of the 3D lyrics style each line must show up at the right moment. If a line moves a little early or too late the whole look feels wrong no matter how good the animation is. Zooming in on the timeline and carefully changing the start and end points of each 3D lyrics layer is work. It is really worth the effort. The better the timing with the vocals the professional the final result looks.
Font choice is more important than some people believe. Use a font for energetic songs a cleaner and more elegant font for love songs or a handwritten or script style when the mood needs it. Readability has to be the thing. These small changes make the 3D lyrics look like they are really in space of just being moving flat text.
Camera movement takes the 3D lyrics further. Treat the 3D lyrics like objects inside a scene and let the camera move through that space. The camera can move toward one line slide across lines or pull back to show all the lines at once. Changing the size of the 3D lyrics with the beat adds reaction. The 3D lyrics grow fast on a hit before going down grow bigger and brighter when a drop happens and stay calm during quieter parts. Motion blur makes the 3D movement look smooth of the 3D lyrics just jumping from one place to another. A soft light behind the 3D lyrics that changes brightness with the music during the chorus and dimmer during the verses adds a feel that makes a really good 3D lyrics edit different, from a simple animated caption.
