follow the bouncing ball lyric

[clavguy]

Hi gang.
I am looking for an app that will present the lyrics to a song each word as it is is sung. Sort of like a follow the bouncing ball. But instead of a bouncing ball each word be presented to the the user at its proper time. If there is an app that breaks it down to syllables that would be even better say something like Hap py Birth Day instead of Happy BIrthday.

Cheers
Pierre

I think you need something like CyberLink PowerDirector or some other video creating software. I may be wrong so I'm watching this thread.

Hi Wreck,
Thanks for looking in to this.
I don't think I need a video creating/editing software but I may be wrong. I am looking for something that I will sync with the song and put the lyrics up on the screen word by word or even syllable by syllable as they are being played so someone can follow.

Cheers
Pierre

I think you can manually sync text using the MC video editor. Not automatically though

[clavguy]

You were right Wreck Cyberlink Powerdirector or After Effect will do it THANKS
Cheers

Adobe premiere elements can do also

You mean something like this yes? If so this was done in Cyberlink PowerDirector.

Right on, yeah he is using software similar to Cyberlink PowerDirector. But a make version, Priemer maybe

It may be possible to do in Mixcraft using the text options. Maybe a variation of this Karaoke example:

Nice Cactus-head... Can we do the bouncing ball?

[cactus-head]

hmmmm... I don't know. I've done very minor video editing using mixcrafts video editor. I believe at the very least you could make each word happen one at a time. You'd have to manage the words on the timeline manually I think

[clavguy]

Thanks Cactus

Hi,

For lyric timing, there is a file format LRC which synchronizes song lyrics with an audio file. If Mixcraft can also add in such support, I think it may help get to what you want.

Thanks!

I could also use that if the lyrics were automatically displayed somewhere during playback. A nice suggestion and USP maybe
