## 1. Preparation: Song Selection & Lyrics <a name="preparation"></a>

Select a song that's cover-friendly (e.g., classics like "More Than I Can Say" or pop hits like
"APT." by ROSÉ). Aim for 2-4 minute tracks.

### Steps:

1. **Choose Song:** Search for royalty-free instrumentals on YouTube Audio Library or


Epidemic Sound (free tier). For covers, download karaoke versions via legal sites like
[Link].

2. **Extract/Get Lyrics:**

- Use [Link] or [Link] (free). Copy-paste into a Google Doc.

- For originals: Prompt ChatGPT: "Generate romantic ballad lyrics for a female AI singer, 3
verses + chorus, inspired by Céline Dion."

3. **Time Lyrics:** In a spreadsheet (Google Sheets), list lines with timestamps (e.g., "0:00-
0:15: Verse 1 Line 1"). This syncs later.

**Pro Tip:** Start with public domain songs to avoid flags.

---

## 2. Generate AI Vocals <a name="ai-vocals"></a>

Create synthetic female singing using AI tools. Focus on emotional, breathy tones for
@BlazeeAi vibe.
### Steps:

1. **Select Tool:** Use Suno AI ([Link]) for full songs or Singify for quick covers.

2. **Input Prompt:**

- Example: "Emotional female ballad cover of 'I'm Alive' by Céline Dion, soft vibrato, warm
breathy tone, full instrumental."

- Upload instrumental if available; add lyrics for accuracy.

3. **Customize Voice:** Choose "Ethereal Female" or similar. Generate 2-3 versions; pick
the best (2-5 min processing).

4. **Export:** Download as MP3/WAV.

### Recommended Tools:

- **Suno AI:** Free 50 credits/day; auto-generates lyrics/vocals.

- **Singify ([Link]):** Free basics; 1,000+ voices.

- **[Link]:** $15/month for pro splits/covers.

**Output:** Clean audio file ready for video sync.

## 3. Create Base Video with Lyrics & Animations <a name="base-video"></a>

Build the visual layer: Scrolling lyrics on dreamy backgrounds.

### Steps:

1. **Import Audio:** Open CapCut or Canva; upload your AI vocals.

2. **Add Background:**

- Free stock: [Link] (e.g., starry skies, waves).


- AI-Generate: Prompt Runway ML: "Dreamy animated landscape for romantic song,
pastel colors."

3. **Sync Lyrics:**

- Paste timed lyrics; use auto-sync feature. Animate: Fade-in per line, glow effects,
karaoke highlight.

- Style: White text on semi-transparent black overlay; font like "Great Vibes" for elegance.

4. **Add Subtle Effects:** Slow zoom, particle animations (hearts/stars via CapCut
templates).

### Recommended Tools:

- **CapCut (Free):** Mobile/desktop; auto-lyrics + templates.

- **Canva (Free/Pro $15/mo):** Drag-drop; search "lyrics video template."

- **LTX Studio ($10/mo):** AI auto-generates scenes from audio prompt.

**Output:** Rough 2-4 min video draft.

## 4. Edit for Full Videos <a name="full-edit"></a>

Polish for longer YouTube uploads (e.g., 3-min full covers).

### Steps:

1. **Audio Tweaks:** In Audacity (free), EQ: Boost highs (vocals clarity), add reverb for
depth.

2. **Visual Enhancements:**

- Intro: 5-sec title card ("AI Cover: [Song] by [Persona]").

- Transitions: Soft fades between verses.


- Outro: Call-to-action ("Subscribe for more AI songs!") + lyrics recap.

3. **Length Check:** Trim to 2-4 min; ensure engaging pacing.

4. **Branding:** Add watermark (e.g., "Generated with AI").

**Tools:** Audacity for audio; CapCut/Premiere Rush for video.

## 5. Edit for YouTube Shorts (Optimized for 15-60s Clips) <a name="shorts-edit"></a>

Shorts are vertical (9:16), hook-focused for virality. Clip choruses/hooks from full videos for
quick wins (e.g., 30s "APT." duet snippet).

### Steps:

1. **Clip Selection:** From full audio/video, extract high-energy parts (e.g., chorus at 1:00-
1:30). Use CapCut's trim tool.

2. **Format Adjustment:**

- Rotate to vertical: In CapCut, set canvas to 9:16 (1080x1920).

- Crop/Reposition: Center lyrics; add side borders if needed (e.g., animated vines).

3. **Hook Enhancements:**

- Text Overlays: Bold, larger fonts; add emojis ( ) on key words.

- Effects: Fast zooms on beats, screen shakes for pop drops. Speed up 1.1x for energy.

- Captions: Auto-generate subtitles (CapCut AI); style as pop-up bubbles.

4. **End Screen:** 3-sec hook text ("Full video in bio!") + subscribe arrow.

5. **Music Sync:** Ensure lyrics pulse with beat—use CapCut's beat detection.

### Shorts-Specific Tips:


- Length: 15-60s; under 15s for max loop views.

- Thumbnails: Close-up AI singer face (generate via Bing AI).

- Trends: Add #AICover #LyricsShorts; duet popular audios.

**Tools:** CapCut (best for mobile Shorts); YouTube's "Edit with AI" (new 2025 tool for
auto-clips from gallery).<grok:render card_id="ec4296" card_type="citation_card"

2. **Export:** 1080p, 30-60 FPS; H.264 codec. Remove watermarks.

3. **YouTube Upload:**

- Title: "[Song] AI Female Cover | Lyrics (Short/Full)".

- Description: Full lyrics + "AI-generated for fun. Tools: Suno/CapCut. #AICover".

- Tags: ai song cover, female vocals, lyrics video, youtube shorts.
