Doing lyrics in a piecemeal approach

[olorin92]

Hi all,

I’m wondering if there’s an easy way to do the lyrics for faces using a piecemeal approach. To explain this, I’m planning on doing one section of lyrics, lining them up to the song, then breaking down the words. Once this is done, I’d then move on to the next section of the lyrics and to the same.

Is it possible to do this easily using one timing track? Or is a different timing track per lyric “section” the easiest approach? I’m also worried about any future updates to lyrics using this approach (I.e. we decide we want to do more lyrics for one section later on), as there doesn’t seem to be an easy way to retroactively add in lyrics, words and phrases.

Any ideas/advice on this?

Thanks!

It’s definitely possible. It’s how I do it

Good to know! Could you share your “method” for adding to existing lyrics? Do you just use a new timing?

Yes you add a timing mark ... double (or shift double) click to edit the label. THen right click on the label to break it down. I believe you can select multiple and break them down at the same time.

Just don't break down everything once you have some right, or you'll have to redo those.

Ah great that makes sense!

So I should theoretically be able to add in timing marks coinciding with words, select those timing marks, change the label to the lyrics, then break it all down?

I’ll give that a shot because it sounds exactly like what I want to do!
