Lyricify stands out for wrapping AI transcription, physics-based text animation, and full scene setup into one Blender workflow, taking a track to a render-ready lyric scene without manual keyframing.
Lyricify is a Blender addon for building lyric videos from an audio track. It uses OpenAI's Whisper to produce timestamped transcription, working with MP3, WAV, OGG, FLAC, and M4A files. Whisper auto-detects language across more than 99 languages, including English, Spanish, and Vietnamese, or you can specify one for precision, and it detects and trims initial silence.
The addon animates each lyric as text that appears from above, scales in with a pop, and cascades down with physics. Positions are randomly clustered to avoid overlaps, with text facing the camera. Materials are jelly-like, using subsurface scattering and emission glows across five rotating color schemes, and it auto-sets a camera, area light, spot light, and compositor bloom.
Lyricify adds audio to Blender's Video Sequence Editor, locks playback to 24 FPS, and adjusts the timeline to the song length plus a buffer. You can export timestamps to CSV, edit them, and re-import, and tweak the Whisper model size from base to large to balance speed against accuracy. It runs in Blender 4.5+ with Cycles and Eevee.
Lyricify is best for musicians, content creators, and Blender users making lyric videos for YouTube covers, social reels, or music videos.
Lyricify is completely free to download and use.
Lyricify is built for Blender 4.5 and newer, and it renders with both Cycles and Eevee, so you can pick the engine that suits your setup. Beyond compatibility, the addon handles scene assembly itself: it places a camera, an area light, a spot light, and compositor bloom automatically. It also adds your audio to Blender's Video Sequence Editor, locks playback to 24 FPS, and adjusts the timeline to your song length plus a buffer. Check the developer's page to confirm current version details before installing.
Lyricify accepts MP3, WAV, OGG, FLAC, and M4A audio files, then transcribes them using OpenAI's Whisper for timestamped lyrics. Whisper auto-detects the language across more than 99 supported languages, including English, Spanish, and Vietnamese, or you can specify the language for more precision. The addon also detects and trims initial silence so timing stays accurate. If you want to trade speed against accuracy, you can change the Whisper model size from base to large. Drop in a track and the transcription runs without manual syncing.
Lyricify lets you export the generated timestamps to a CSV file, make edits there, and then re-import them, so you can correct timing without redoing the whole pass. You can also adjust the Whisper model size from base to large to balance transcription speed against accuracy. On the animation side, each lyric appears from above, scales in with a pop, and falls with physics, landing in randomly clustered positions that avoid overlaps while facing the camera. For deeper customization, see the developer's page.
Lyricify is listed as free in this catalog and is distributed under the GPL license. Licensing terms can change, so check the developer's page for the current details before you download. Once installed, the addon covers the full pipeline: AI transcription with Whisper, gravity-falling text animation, jelly-like materials with subsurface scattering and emission glows across five rotating color schemes, and automatic camera, lighting, and bloom setup. A demo video is also available if you want to see more before trying it.
