Sonilo generates original music and sound effects from finished video. Upload your edit: it reads the timing, pacing, and emotional arc, composes music that matches the video length, and places sound effects on the exact action frames, returned as one finished audio track. Other capabilities include text-to-music, text-to-sound-effects, dubbing, and audio ducking. Every track is licensed for commercial use. Sonilo runs on the web and by API, with a free plan to start.
Why we built this: Everyone on our team has watched the same thing happen. A creator finishes a video, the picture looks great, and then the project stalls at the audio step. Library scrolling, manual placement, rights anxiety. It's the last step of AI video production, the part everyone skips until the music ruins the vibe. We wanted the finished edit itself to be the brief.
What it does: Upload your finished video. Sonilo reads its timing, pacing, and emotional arc, then generates an original score composed to your exact cut. It also generates sound effects and places them on the exact action frames, returning one finished audio track. Prompts are optional. The video sets the timing. Starting from an idea instead of footage? Text-to-music and text-to-sound-effects work from a prompt, and dubbing and audio ducking are in there too.
Who it's for: Creators finishing AI-generated or edited video, filmmakers and short-drama teams, brands and ad teams, and developers who want video-conditioned audio in their own product through our API (it already serves about 10,000 calls a day).
What makes it different: The rights story. Sonilo trains on licensed catalogs, including a Shutterstock partnership, and every track is licensed for commercial use. Clean from the source, not patched on after the fact. It's the difference between a fun demo and something your client's legal team signs off on.
Pricing: Freemium. There's a free plan so you can hear it on your own footage today. Paid plans unlock higher caps and commercial licensing.
We'd love your take: Drop a link to a video you're working on, or tell us where the audio step hurts most in your workflow. We're a small team, we read everything, and the roadmap genuinely moves based on what creators tell us. Thanks for checking out Sonilo!
