Versions let you maintain separate styling configurations for the same song within a single project. Each version has its own background, text style, layout, overlays, and audio mix — while sharing the same lyrics and timing.

What versions are

A version is an independent set of settings attached to your project. When you switch to a version, the Studio loads that version’s configuration. Changes you make only affect the active version — all other versions remain untouched.

Common use cases

Version nameTypical use
Radio EditTrimmed intro/outro for radio or playlist use
Full VersionComplete song with extended intro and outro
TV VersionDifferent aspect ratio or broadcast-safe styling
Practice VersionVocals added to the audio mix to help singers learn
Different LanguageSame song with lyrics in another language

Creating a new version

1

Open the Versions panel

In the Studio, expand the Versions panel in the sidebar.
2

Click New Version

Click the New Version button.
3

Name the version

Enter a descriptive name (for example, “Practice Mode” or “TV Edit”).
4

Confirm

Click Create Version.
The new version starts as a copy of the settings from the version that was active when you clicked New Version.

Switching between versions

In the Versions panel, click any version name. The Studio reloads with that version’s settings. The currently active version is marked with a badge.

Editing a version

After switching to a version, any change you make — background, text style, layout, overlays, trim, or audio mix — is saved to that version only. Other versions are not affected.

Renaming a version

1

Hover over the version name

Move your cursor over the version in the Versions panel.
2

Click the edit icon

Click the pencil icon that appears.
3

Type the new name

Enter the new name and press Enter or click away to confirm.

Deleting a version

  1. Hover over the version in the Versions panel.
  2. Click the delete icon.
  3. Confirm deletion in the dialog.
You must keep at least one version. The delete option is disabled when only one version exists.

Exporting a specific version

When you export, Youka uses the settings of the currently active version. To export a specific version:
1

Switch to the version

Click the version name in the Versions panel to make it active.
2

Export

Click Export in the top-right corner of the Studio.
You can export each version separately to produce multiple distinct video files from the same project.

Tips

  • Name versions clearly from the start to avoid confusion as the list grows.
  • Build your main version first, then create variations from it.
  • Use versions for A/B testing — try two different backgrounds or layouts and compare them side by side.
  • Keep an “Original” version as a safe backup before making major style changes to other versions.
