Word-by-word lyric video on a beat grid
A lyric video lives or dies on timing. In this template each word lands on a beat or half-beat, the current word pops at full size and the line slides up as the next arrives, over a drawn night-drive background. The sample verse was written for this page.
The verse was written for this sample. The clip is silent: it is timed to 96 BPM so you can lay a track under it.
The prompt
A lyric video for an ORIGINAL short verse (written for this sample, not from any real song), timed to an imagined 96 BPM beat (one beat = 0.625s). Lyrics, one line per 2 bars: 'Headlights on the empty road' / 'city humming soft and low' / 'every sign says keep it slow' / 'but I'm already gone'. Each word appears exactly on a beat or half-beat: the current word pops in at full size in a bold sans, the rest of the line sits dimmer beneath it, then the whole line slides up as the next one arrives. Background: a night-drive scene drawn in canvas — a road with lane dashes rushing toward the viewer, faint city lights as bokeh dots (seeded PRNG), a slow color shift from indigo to magenta. The final line holds and the word 'gone' stretches wide and fades its letter-spacing out. Lyrics must be large (≥96px for the active word) and fully opaque at rest.

Questions
Does the sample include music?
No. The sample is silent and timed to an imagined 96 BPM. You render the video to your song's tempo, then lay your audio under it in any editor.
How do I sync it to my song?
Give the BPM, or a timestamp for each line. Words are placed on beats from those numbers, so the timing is exact rather than guessed.
Can I use any song's lyrics?
Use lyrics you wrote or have the rights to publish. The sample uses an original verse, not words from a real song.
Can I change the background?
Yes. Pick a mood such as night drive, studio or abstract, and two colors.
