FAQ

the stuff you actually want to know.

no fluff. straight answers about whether it's free, whether it looks AI-made, whether it works on your phone, and how it's different from every other lyric video tool.

will my video look AI-made or cheap?

no. epitrite isn't a one-click AI generator that spits out a generic clip. you pick the template, the font, the colors, your cover art or footage — it's your design. the only thing that's automated is the boring part, syncing the words to the beat. the look is whatever you make it.

is it actually free, or is this a trial?

actually free. no trial countdown, no credit card to start. you can make and export real videos on the free plan. the only catch is free exports carry a small "made with epitrite" credit. that's it.

so how do i get rid of the watermark?

go pro. that removes the credit and unlocks higher-res exports, custom fonts, and the heavier templates. but the free export is a real, postable video — the watermark is small, not a giant logo slapped over your work.

will it work on my phone?

yeah, it runs in your phone browser — make a video start to finish on mobile if you want. one honest heads-up: exporting on iphone/ipad in safari can be flaky for the final video step, so if you hit that, finish the export on a laptop. everything else works fine on mobile.

do i need video footage, or can i just use my cover art?

cover art is all you need. drop in your single artwork (or any image) and it becomes the background. you can also use a solid color, a gradient, or upload your own video clip if you've got one. no footage required.

can i use it for spotify canvas or reels?

yes. epitrite starts vertical (9:16), which is what tiktok, reels, and shorts want. you can also export 1:1 for an instagram post or 16:9 for youtube from the same project. for a spotify canvas, export a short vertical loop and upload it in spotify for artists.

how is this different from other lyric video tools?

most lyric tools are general video editors with a lyric feature bolted on — you're dragging keyframes and fighting a timeline. epitrite only does lyric videos, so the timing, the templates, and the export sizes are all built around that one job. it's faster because it isn't trying to be everything.

do i have to type out the lyrics by hand?

you can, but you don't have to. paste your lyrics and tap them in time with the song, or let the auto-transcription pull them from the audio and just clean up whatever it misses. either way you can nudge any line or word until it lands right.

what audio files does it take, and is there a length limit?

mp3, wav, aac, flac, and m4a, up to 50mb per file. no hard limit on song length — 3 to 5 minutes is the comfortable zone, but upload whatever you've got. you can also drop in a screen recording and it'll pull the audio out.

is my music safe — do you take any rights to it?

your music stays yours. epitrite never claims rights, licenses, or ownership of anything you upload or make. you upload your track to build the video, you export it, done.

how long does it actually take to make one?

if your lyrics are ready, you're looking at a few minutes — upload, sync, pick a style, export. it's not instant magic, but it's not an afternoon in a real editor either. the goal is a posted video, not a perfect one stuck in your drafts.

still got a question?

email support@epitrite.com. a real human reads it. or just start a draft and see for yourself.
