# Fix Lyrics Sync

> Solutions for when lyrics are out of sync or incorrect

Lyrics sync issues fall into three common buckets. Pick the scenario that matches your problem.

## Scenario 1: Lyrics are wrong or way off

Use this when the text itself is incorrect or the timing is completely off.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the lyrics editor">
    Go to **Edit > Edit Lyrics**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Fix the text">
    Replace the incorrect lyrics with the correct ones.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Pick an alignment model">
    Select **Audioshake Alignment** or **MusicAI Alignment** from the model dropdown.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Re-sync">
    Click **Save** to start a fresh sync job.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  If you don't have the lyrics at all, pick **Audioshake Transcription**
  (English) or **MusicAI Transcription** (non-English) instead. Youka will
  detect and sync the lyrics from the audio automatically.
</Note>

## Scenario 2: Timing is slightly off

Use this when the words are right but a few lines lag or land early.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Manual Sync">
    Go to **Edit > Manual Sync**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select the misaligned words or lines">
    Click to highlight what needs adjustment.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Drag to fix timing">
    Drag the selection on the timeline, using the audio waveform as your guide.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Scenario 3: Lines drift further and further apart

Use this when lyrics start in sync but progressively fall behind (or ahead).

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Manual Sync">
    Go to **Edit > Manual Sync**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Nudge a group of lines">
    Select the drifted lines and press **Shift + ←** or **Shift + →** to shift their timing.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Move lines to a new position (if needed)">
    Press **Ctrl+X** (or **Cmd+X**) to cut, seek to the new timestamp, then **Ctrl+V** / **Cmd+V** to paste.
  </Step>
</Steps>
