Superstring is software that allows you to easily create a lyrics video. YouTube has introduced new ways to cross-promote channels. And Vimeo has introduced some very basic sales and marketing features to Vimeo On Demand. **Superstring: Quick & Easy Lyrics Videos** [Superstring](http://www.simplestways.com/?ref=hypebot.com) is software for the Mac or PC that allows you to create your own simple lyrics videos. Recommended [by Musformation](http://musformation.com/superstring-is-easy-to-use-software-tao-help-you-make-lyric-videos/?ref=hypebot.com), Superstring [allows you to](https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/superstring/id667856266?ls=1&mt=12&ref=hypebot.com): Get started quickly in a few simple steps • Select a song that you want to create a lyric video • Automatically find lyrics from ID3 tags • Align the timing of lyrics by dragging • Customize styles, colors, and more While there are clearly limits to what you can do with Superstring, it offers an easy way to get started with lyrics videos. **YouTube: New Cross-Promotion Features** Last week YouTube [introduced](http://youtubecreator.blogspot.co.uk/2013/09/share-love-with-new-cross-promotion.html?ref=hypebot.com) some new ways to cross-promote videos and channels. Presented for those with multiple channels, the features should be useful for those working with more than one artist or for some collective cross-promotions with like-minded artists. You can now do such things as "feature any playlist from another channel as a section on your own channel" or even feature other channels with multi-channel sections. **Vimeo On Demand: New Features** [Vimeo On Demand](http://vimeo.com/ondemand?ref=hypebot.com), introduced this year [at SXSW](https://www.hypebot.com/sxsw-music-tech-launches-news-bittorrent-vimeo-cinsay-givit-fastfan-more/), is Vimeo's pay to stream or download service. Earlier this month they [announced](http://www.4-traders.com/IACINTERACTIVECORP-4697058/news/IACInterActiveCorp--Vimeo-Announces-Upgrades-To-Direct-Distribution-Platform-Vimeo-On-Demand-17252506/?ref=hypebot.com) a group of new features: Rent and Own Pricing Options: Creators can offer viewers the ability to rent (stream) or buy (download) content at separate prices. Preorder Availability: All Vimeo On Demand sellers can build buzz and drive advanced sales by making content available for preorder. Promo Code Generator: Filmmakers can create promo codes that enable viewers to access work at no cost; codes can be sent to press or other partners and used immediately in the improved Vimeo On Demand checkout. Advanced Statistics: Sellers now get more information about their works, including trailer plays, paid video plays, and additional revenue details. In addition, Vimeo On Demand stats are now rolled into a PRO member's Advanced Stats, which makes them more accessible and easier to understand. I was surprised to discover that previously creators could only offer videos at the same price for sale or rent. In addition to that much-needed change, preorders and promo codes will be very helpful for marketing and improved stats are always of use. **More:** - [Lyrics Videos Offer An Effective Yet Low Cost Music Video Entry Point](https://www.hypebot.com/lyrics-videos-offer-an-effective-yet-low-cost-music-video-alternative/) - [YouTube For Musicians: Single Frame Music Videos, Free Analytics, Creator Updates](https://www.hypebot.com/youtube-for-musicians-single-frame-music-videos-free-analytics-creator-updates/) - [YouTube Adds D2F Marketing, Live Streams and Other Options To Most Channels](https://www.hypebot.com/youtube-adds-marketing-features-offers-live-streaming-other-options-to-more-channels/) *Hypebot Senior Contributor Clyde Smith ([@fluxresearch](https://twitter.com/fluxresearch?ref=hypebot.com)/[@crowdfundingm](https://twitter.com/crowdfundingm?ref=hypebot.com)) also blogs at [Flux Research](http://www.fluxresearch.com/?ref=hypebot.com) and [Crowdfunding For Musicians](http://www.crowdfundingformusicians.com/?ref=hypebot.com).
