How It Works

From counting song to video in 3 steps

Upload your kids song

Upload your finished counting song, one that counts up, counts down or runs all the way to twenty. Clear vocals keep every number easy to hear, and about two minutes is a typical length.

Choose your visual style and direction

Pick a bold, uncluttered style so each number stands out, then choose Narrative to act the counting out or Performance for a singing host. Ducks, apples, balloons and rockets all make friendly things to count on screen.

Generate, refine, and share

Generate your video, check that each number lands on its beat and fix any scene. Export for YouTube Kids, the classroom board, Shorts or Reels, ready to play for the whole class.

Features

Counting video features for numbers one to twenty

Beat-Synced Scene Generation

Scenes change on the beat, so three ducks appear exactly when the song says three. Atlabs follows the rhythm of your recording, which keeps each number matched to its picture from the first count to the last.

Kids-Friendly Visual Styles

Choose from 20+ clear styles with large shapes and plain backgrounds. A flat cartoon look or soft 3D keeps small groups of objects easy to count, even on a projector at the back of the room.

Consistent Character Look

Keep one counting buddy through the whole song, from one to twenty. The same friendly frog hops through every verse, so a longer count feels like one journey and not twenty separate clips.

Full Scene Editing

If the seventh duck looks wrong, fix that scene alone. Swap the object, change the background or adjust the character, and keep the rest of your count exactly as it was rendered the first time.

Songs in Any Language

Upload a song that counts uno, dos, tres or un, deux, trois and the captions follow the numbers in that language. Atlabs handles 40+ languages, which suits bilingual classrooms learning to count twice over.

Creative Direction

Describe what gets counted: a count-up that builds a tower of blocks, or a count-down that launches a rocket at zero. You choose the objects and the story, and the scenes follow the numbers in your song.

Animated Lyric Captions

Show each number word in large animated captions, with 10+ caption styles to choose from. A count-up to ten reads clearly from the back of the class, and a count-down can finish on a big, bold zero.

Cast Yourself

Upload one photo and count along on screen. A maths teacher can lead the count-down as themselves, and more than half of paying creators upload their own character portraits for their songs.

Visual Styles

Clean visual styles that keep every number easy to see

Pick from 20+ styles. Flat cartoon and simple 3D keep objects bold and countable, in groups from one to twenty.

You can also train your own custom visual style on Atlabs - every video you make matches your unique aesthetic.

TUTORIALS

Watch a counting song come together

A counting song video needs a steady beat and one new number in each line. These tutorials walk through upload, style and export one step at a time, so your numbers appear on screen right when they are sung.

Counting videos made by hand versus with Atlabs

Counting videos made by hand versus with Atlabs

By hand, a one-to-twenty count means twenty separate scenes, each one cut to the audio by hand in an editor. With Atlabs you upload the song once and the scenes arrive on the beat, so your time goes on what gets counted and how it looks, not on timing clips.

Who is it for

Who makes and uses counting song videos

You wrote a count-down to settle the class before a lesson. Upload it, play the video on the board and let the numbers fall from ten to zero in time with your voice, ready for every new class.

Parent with a 1-20 song

You made up a number song for the school run. Upload it, add big captions and share the video with family, so your child can count along with every number all the way up to twenty.

Preschool channel owner

You post a number song every week. Upload the track, keep one counting buddy across episodes and build a one-to-ten series where every new video looks like it belongs with the last one.

School music teacher

You teach rhythm through counting. Upload a clapping count, let each scene land on its beat and show the class how numbers and beats fit together, one clap and one picture at a time.

Early years leader

You sing counting rhymes at carpet time. Turn your favourite into a short video with large captions and play it on the classroom screen, so the whole group can see each number as you sing it.

What Creators Say

What teachers and creators say about counting videos

I uploaded my count-down song and the rocket lifted off right on zero. My class counted along at full volume, and I never had to open an editing program once.

Olivia B., Maths teacher

My weekly number song used to take a whole weekend to animate. Now the same frog counts through every episode, and each video matches the last one nicely.

Tom H., Preschool channel owner

I recorded a one-to-twenty song on my phone for my niece. Seeing each number appear in the video made her ask to watch it again and count along every time.

FAQ

Your counting song video questions, answered

How do I make an animated ABC or counting song video with AI?

Upload your finished song to Atlabs, choose a visual style and Narrative or Performance mode, then generate. Scenes land on the beat, so each number or letter appears as it is sung. Most videos are ready in under 2 minutes, and you can edit any scene.

How do I make a count-down song for a classroom?

Upload a song that counts from ten to zero, then ask for a final scene that ends on zero, such as a rocket lifting off or a balloon floating away. Atlabs places each scene on the beat, so the big finish arrives with the last word of your song.

Can I make a counting song that goes from 1 to 20?

Yes, upload a one-to-twenty song of any length. A typical uploaded song runs about two minutes, which suits a steady count to twenty. Keep one character through the whole count, so a longer song still feels like one story from start to finish.

How do I show each number on screen as it is sung?

Turn on animated lyric captions so each number word appears as it is sung, and ask for one clear group of objects per number. Use plain backgrounds, so a group of seven ducks stays easy to count and the number is the only thing to follow.

Which objects are easiest for little ones to count?

Use objects that are the same size and colour, such as ducks, apples or blocks, shown in clear groups. Keep each group on a plain background and avoid mixing different objects in one scene, so the count is the only thing viewers need to follow.

Can I make a counting song in Spanish or French?

Yes, upload your count in Spanish, French or any of 40+ languages and the captions follow the words you sing. A bilingual count that alternates uno and one on each line works too, and both languages stay on screen as they are sung.
