How to Quickly Create a Lyric Track for Xlights! (V2 UPDATED)

This is an updated video of the old tutorial about making a lyric track quickly for xlights. The website used in the old video no longer works, hence why I made this new video. For those who don't know, a lyric track in xlights is usually used to make faces sing to the music in your light show. I hope you all find this tool useful! Please let me know if you find any problems with this website.

Now if I had a wall with Employee of The Month, I would make sure you would be on it. You came through just like you had said you would and that you were working on a solution. Kudos young man, kudos.

After spending hours today doing my first track I find this…. 🤦 lol thanks for the knowledge. I’m starting fresh and I’m working on my show for next year already. I decided to give it a go after 2-3 years

Thanks for this video! I did a few lyric tracks last year but needed a quick refresher after not touching Xlights since December lol.

Have you found a good way to pull out the other vocals other than the main and have other singing faces use these

@how2Pixel - What did you use to upload your own personal created lyrics?

[franshuman]

Thanks so much!! Do you have a video on how to do this when there is more than one lyric track in a song (i.e. a Pentatonix song or a song with background singers)? Thank you!!

[sidatblount]

[johndread]

Keep it up man we are learning much from this. How many pixels does your megatree has?

Hello and thank you very much for your videos. Can you please tell me which browser you are using? I am immediately thrown off the page after clicking on Upload and then nothing happens.

Great video. I actually tried the OLD VERSION website along with the video and the website still seemed to work fine.
I did have a question.... Is there a way to change the phoneme if the shape does not seem quite right for a word breakdown? I cant seem to find a way to unlock the word breakdown line so I can changed individual words. Thanks!
