Animations from your lyrics: Figure Story and Icon Video

Animations turn the lyrics of your take into animated scenes drawn over your video. Figure Story sends a stick figure through the song that acts out each line, in a landscape and weather you choose; Icon Video lets emojis and icons move on the beat. The scenes sit on the timeline, where you split or merge them. Animations need the lyrics and are part of Musaic Pro.

You need: Musaic Pro and the lyrics of the song (see the lyrics guide). To find the objects for each line, the text of the lyrics is sent to my server.
