How to Make a Karaoke Video

From your song to a video, with control over the details.

  1. Add Your Song

    Upload an audio file you have permission to use. For a classic sing-along mix without lead vocals, start with an instrumental or backing track.

  2. Add and Sync the Lyrics

    Import a supported timed lyric file or enter the lyrics in Studio. Use the waveform and timing controls to correct words or lines that appear too early or too late.

  3. Style, Preview, and Export

    Choose a karaoke style, play the video to check the highlighting, and export a watermark-free 1080p MP4 in a supported desktop browser.

A closer look at timing

Line Timing vs. Word-by-Word Highlighting

Not every timed lyric file contains word-level timing. A file may tell the editor when an entire line begins without specifying when each word starts. That is enough for line-by-line lyrics, but not for a classic karaoke highlight that moves across the words.

Line Timing

The full phrase appears together. Use line timing when you want readable lyrics without highlighting each individual word.

Word-by-Word Timing

The active word changes as the song progresses. Each word needs its own timing, which you can import when available or set and review in Studio.

Always preview the opening line, a verse transition, and the final line before exporting. Timing errors are easier to spot during playback than from the waveform alone.

Karaoke Video Maker FAQ

Clear answers before you start creating.

Is Melsona's karaoke video maker free?

Manual editing and local 1080p MP4 export are free and do not require sign-up in supported desktop Chrome or Edge browsers. Optional cloud AI features are separate from the manual workflow and may require an account and Credits.

Can Melsona automatically sync lyrics to a song?

Plain text contains no timing information, so it cannot produce accurate word timing by itself in the manual editor. Import a supported timed lyric file or create and review the timing in Studio. If an AI transcription or alignment feature is available in your account, it is a separate workflow; review the result before exporting.

Which lyric file formats can I import?

Melsona supports LRC, SRT, VTT, and supported JSON lyric files. The timing available depends on the imported file. Line-timed subtitles do not necessarily include individual word boundaries, so review the preview when you need word-by-word highlighting.

Does the Karaoke editor remove vocals?

The manual Karaoke editor does not remove lead vocals from an MP3. For a classic sing-along video, upload an instrumental or backing-track MP3 instead. If a separate Vocal Removal tool is available in your account, it is a distinct cloud-processing workflow, not part of manual editing.

Can I convert an MP3 to karaoke with Melsona?

Yes — if your MP3 is a backing track or instrumental. Upload it, add timed lyrics in Studio, adjust the word timing against the waveform, and export a karaoke video as a watermark-free 1080p MP4. If your MP3 still has the lead vocal, the manual editor cannot remove it: take the vocals out with a separate vocal-removal tool first, then bring the backing track here.

Want to keep the original vocals? Make a Lyric Video instead
Can I export a karaoke video without installing software?

Yes. Melsona runs in your browser. Local MP4 export requires compatible browser support for H.264 video and AAC audio. Desktop Chrome or Edge is the recommended workflow; keep the page open while rendering.

Are my projects saved online?

No cloud project library is implied by the local editor. When saving succeeds, the draft is stored in this browser. It is not automatically synced across devices, and clearing browser data may remove the draft and its media.
