Who we are
About
VIDOME turns a song and its lyrics into a finished lyric video, with every word timed to the vocal. It is one developer building one tool properly rather than many tools adequately.
Operated by VIDOME in the United States.
One job, done properly
A lyric video is a small format with an unforgiving detail: the words have to land on the beat they are sung on, not near it. Most tools treat timing as something you nudge by hand for an hour. We treat it as the actual product, and everything else — themes, backgrounds, export sizes — exists to serve a line that arrives on time.
Made for the week before a release
The people using this have a finished mix, a deadline, and no video. They are not motion designers and should not have to become one to put a song on YouTube. That shapes every default: sensible out of the box, editable when the machine gets a word wrong, and never a blank timeline.
Your work stays yours
We do not train anything on your music, and we do not claim a licence to your songs or your finished videos. Uploads exist to be processed and returned. What we keep, for how long, and how to delete all of it is set out plainly in the privacy policy rather than buried in terms nobody reads.
Honest about the limits
Automatic transcription mishears words, dense mixes are harder than sparse ones, and a heavily processed vocal can defeat the aligner entirely. We would rather say so and give you a fast way to fix it than pretend the machine is never wrong. The free plan exists so you can find out on your own vocal before paying anything.
Who built it
Earl Balai
VIDOME was designed and built by Earl Balai — a recording artist and a full-stack engineer, which is the short version of why it works the way it does. It started as a passion project for an unglamorous reason: he could not face dragging keyframes around an editor for one more lyric video, and it turned out the machine is better at that part anyway.
The alignment approach, the renderer and the editor are all his work, and the positions above are his rather than a committee’s — which is why they can be stated this plainly. It also means the person who decides what gets built next is the person who has to use it on his own record.
There is a great deal more planned — and it is planned, not promised. If enough people find this useful enough to pay for, the tools that follow get built. That is the honest shape of it, and you are early.
Code and past projects are public on GitHub. For anything about VIDOME itself, the contact page reaches him directly — there is no support tier in between.
