I'm trying to make one for my channel, but I don't want it to look too cheesy and I'm not that skilled at editing yet. I use Sony Vegas Pro. Any tips?

I would place the audio on the track, insert a new video track on top and use black solid colour on the new video track, drag it to the length of the audio like to its end, then I would add another video track and then add the text on the new track, add the first lyrics text and then position it to say where the lyrics start, when they end shorted the lyrics clip to where the lyrics end so it only shows as theyre being said and then repeat again and again throughout the song till the end.

I would either do that which would be quite time consuming or do say 6 lines on screen at a time, these will be easier for people to read than what I described above. You would do this in the same way but shifting onto more lyrics every verse or something :D

I've seen a few done with Prezi, they look very professional and overall pretty much BEAST in my opinion. :D

I use the generators in mixcraft or sometimes in magix although i didnt upgrade my magix to the newest (too crashtastic) and am now just using mixcraft. (way more stable and cooler too)
