Make a Retro Cassette lyric video
The Retro Cassette template is a nostalgic, analog aesthetic — grain, scanlines, and warm color — that dates the video on purpose. Upload your song, let the AI sync the lyrics to the vocals, and preview the result for free — you only render the full HD video once it looks exactly right. It's city-pop, synthwave, lo-fi, and anything leaning into an 80s/90s mood.
What you need
To make a Retro Cassette lyric video you provide your song (MP3, WAV, or M4A up to 50 MB), the lyrics — typed in, or auto-transcribed from the vocals with word-level timing, a song title and artist name, optional cover art, and an optional background image or video. Nothing is committed until you've seen the watermarked preview, so you can swap the song, fix a line, or try a different look without spending any credits.
Formats and where they fit
Retro Cassette is designed around 9:16 and supports 9:16 for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts, 16:9 for YouTube and widescreen players, and 1:1 for Instagram and Facebook feed posts. Pick the format up front and the video exports ready to upload — no cropping, re-rendering, or losing lyrics off the edge of the frame.
What songs work best
Any song with clear vocals works, including AI-generated tracks from Suno or Udio. Retro Cassette pairs especially well with retro-flavored production where the visual era is part of the hook. If a line comes out wrong in the auto-transcription, you can edit it before rendering, so the finished video always matches your lyrics.
FAQ
Is the Retro Cassette preview free?
Yes. Every preview is watermarked and free to generate. You only spend credits when you render the final HD video.
Do I have to type the lyrics myself?
No — upload your song and the AI transcribes the lyrics automatically with word-level timing. You can still edit any line before you render.
Can I use a Retro Cassette video on TikTok?
Yes. Retro Cassette exports in 9:16, 16:9, 1:1, so it's ready for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts, YouTube and widescreen players, and Instagram and Facebook feed posts.
