Hey everyone! Welcome back to another easy and creative VN App tutorial. In today’s blog post, I’ll walk you through how to add lyrics of any song to a photo using the VN Video Editor App. This style of editing is ideal for making engaging Instagram Reels, WhatsApp statuses, or YouTube Shorts. Let’s get started!
Step 1: Install the VN Video Editor App
- If you haven’t already, download the VN App from Google Play Store.
- Open the app and tap on the “+” button to start a New Project.
- Switch to the “Photos” tab and select the image you want to add lyrics to.
- Click “Next” and your photo will be imported to the timeline.
Step 2: Choose the Correct Ratio
- Tap on the “Original” option on the photo timeline.
- Select the right ratio based on the platform you’re using:
- 9:16 for Reels, Shorts, WhatsApp Status
- 1:1 for Instagram Posts
- 16:9 for YouTube Videos
Step 3: Increase the Photo Duration
- Long press the arrow icon at the end of the photo timeline and drag it to increase duration to 15–20 seconds.
Step 4: Add Lyrics Video Using PIP (Picture in Picture)
- Tap on the PIP option (3rd icon).
- Switch to the “Videos” section and select a lyric video with a black background.
- If you don’t have one, visit the YouTube or Instagram and search for:
- “song name + black screen lyrics status”
- “Glowing lyrics video” on Instagram
Or download from curated lyric packs like from Lyrics.com or use this YouTube to MP4 tool to grab the lyric video.
Step 5: Blend Lyrics Over the Photo
- Once the lyric video is added, click on it in the timeline.
- Scroll through the toolbar and tap Blending.
- Select the Screen blend mode to remove the black background and keep only the glowing text.
Step 6: Resize and Adjust the Lyrics
- Resize the lyrics layer and move it to a suitable place on the photo (avoid overlapping faces).
- If the text is not highlighted enough, increase its exposure and saturation via the Adjust tool.
- You can also change text color using the Hue option under HSL.
Step 7: Add a Black PNG Layer for Highlight
- To further highlight the text, overlay a semi-transparent black PNG behind it.
- Use the PIP feature again, go to “Photos” and select the PNG from your device. You can create PNGs using tools like PixelLab.
- Adjust the black PNG beneath the lyrics layer to boost contrast.
Step 8: Final Color Grading
- Select your base photo and apply filters or manual adjustments.
- Use Saturation, Sharpen, and Brightness for visual enhancement.
Step 9: Export the Final Video
- Once everything looks perfect, tap on the Export button at the top right corner.
- Choose settings like:
- Resolution: 1080p
- Frame Rate: 60fps
- Bitrate: 50mbps
- Export and save your lyric video to your gallery.
Pro Tips for Better Engagement
- Use trending songs to increase chances of going viral.
- Make sure text is readable and positioned properly.
- Keep the video under 30 seconds for best engagement on platforms like Instagram Reels and TikTok.
