Chains - Lyrics video template for Adobe After Effects

Introducing Chains — a bold and gritty lyric video template for Adobe After Effects. Built for tracks with impact, Chains combines heavy visuals like chains and barbed wire with smart, snappy text animation. It's a perfect fit for hip-hop, trap, drill, and even aggressive rock songs — but definitely not for love ballads.

Chains is all about energy and precision. Lyrics appear word by word, allowing for tight sync with your audio, and important words are automatically emphasized with a strong zoom-in effect. You can also fully customize the fonts and switch up the accent color to match the vibe of your song.

Whether you’re an artist looking to share your next single or a producer showcasing your credits, Chains gives you a high-quality result without needing to be a video pro.

Is there a tutorial?

Yes — a detailed video tutorial is included and covers everything: adding your music, syncing the lyrics, and exporting the final video. Even if you’ve never used After Effects before, you’ll be able to get started right away.

What do I need to use this?

Just Adobe After Effects (no third-party plugins required). To avoid errors, make sure you’re using the English version of After Effects.
