Before you dive into the process of creating the video, you have to download an accompaniment of the song you want to learn or a piece of pure music and prepare the numbered musical notation of it.

After synchronizing the sound and the numbered musical notation, another crucial step is to fine adjust the timeline of the music notation. This helps to make the sound and the numbered musical notation match perfectly since each tune has its own duration in a song.

Finally, you can change the settings like font, text color, karaoke effect, chord position, and so on as you wish. Moreover, you can directly add background to like which can be an image, a video, or a simple color.
