Kinetic Typography – 3D Lyrics
Kinetic Typography – 3D Lyrics is an After Effects template for animated lyrics, music videos and text-led presentations. It includes two project versions: a four-scene setup for a quicker edit and a more extensive 19-scene version for syncing text to a song or speech. Both let you combine animated typography with images, a logo and audio.
Choose the version for your edit
Version 1 is the simpler option for a short lyric or text animation. Edit the text, add images, music or a logo, adjust the available controls and render. Its four scenes make it a practical choice when you want to assemble a compact sequence.
Version 2 contains 19 scenes and supports more involved text synchronization. Import your song or speech, arrange the scenes in the final composition, then edit the text to match the audio. Synchronizing the words takes time, and the detailed help file walks through the workflow.
Customization and controls
The project is organized into compositions, with a detailed help file for setup and rendering. In Version 2 you can adjust extrusion and its quality, turn depth of field on or off, change the background color, and use 10 adjustment layers to alter the overall look.
