PDL Launches LyricMatic To Turn Tracks Into Lyric Videos Without An Editor

Phonographic Digital Limited has launched LyricMatic, a do-it-yourself platform that lets labels and creators build lyric videos and other visual assets from a track.
- Company: Phonographic Digital Limited, a collective rights management organisation and music technology company
- Product: LyricMatic, for lyric videos and visual music assets
- Getting a track in: upload audio, or enter an ISRC code to pull the track from PDL's COSMOS platform
- Controls: visuals, overlays, effects, lyric placement, fonts and styles
- Also: a subtitle editor for fine-tuning synchronisation, and automatic album artwork generation
- Where lyrics are missing: PDL's in-house team can produce time-stamped lyric files
What LyricMatic Solves
The arithmetic of a catalogue. A label with thousands of tracks cannot commission a video for each one, but every streaming and social platform now expects something to look at. Lyric videos became the default answer years ago precisely because they are cheap, and this makes them cheaper by removing the editor from the loop.
Prashant Dogra, chief executive of Phonographic Digital Limited, said music today is consumed across formats and the visual layer has become increasingly important, and that LyricMatic makes creating high-quality visual content simpler and more accessible.
The Part That Makes It Work
The ISRC lookup. Pulling a track straight from PDL's COSMOS platform by its standard recording code means the rights position and the asset travel together, which is the step that usually turns a quick lyric video into a licensing conversation. The offer to produce time-stamped lyric files where none exist covers the other common blocker, older catalogue with no synced lyrics.
