Choosing Your Video's Foundation: 4 Powerful Layouts

A great video starts with a strong foundation. At MyKaraoke.video, we believe in creative freedom, which is why our platform offers four distinct layouts, each designed for a different purpose:
The Classic Karaoke Experience: Default Layout To make a karaoke video in the traditional style, a Default Layout is essential. This feature displays multiple lines of lyrics on screen at once, allowing singers to see upcoming words and never miss a beat.

Dynamic Movement: The Scrolling Layout Perfect for modern lyric video creators, the Scrolling Layout makes your text flow smoothly across the screen. It’s incredibly versatile, especially with tools that can add a "Glow" or "Zoom" effect to the active line to make it pop. You can also choose a full-screen height for a classic feel, or select a narrower, more focused look that’s ideal for stylish lyric videos. This feature is a game-changer. It allows you to move the lyrics vertically, which is essential when you create a lyric video for TikTok or YouTube Shorts, ensuring your text isn't blocked by the app's UI.

Clean and Modern: The Single Line Layout
For a minimalist and impactful lyric video, the Single Line Layout is the perfect choice. It displays only one line of text at a time, focusing all the viewer's attention. From the platform, you can control its position on the screen and choose from entrance animations—like Slide Down, Zoom In, or Shake—to add a dynamic touch.

Creating a duet karaoke video should be simple. A dedicated Duet Layout can automatically create a split screen karaoke experience, with Singer 1's lyrics at the top and Singer 2's at the bottom. Our Sync Editor allows you to assign each lyric line to Singer 1, Singer 2, or both for precise control.
