- •Supports fast and slow sequences
- •Useful for locked picture edits
- •Reduces manual track trimming
Mood shaped by the footage
The model considers the video's content and mood when creating the score. This helps the music support emotional changes within the footage rather than maintaining one unrelated feeling from start to finish.

- •Works across varied video styles
- •Keeps the score tied to the story
- •No lyric-writing step required

- •Matches the input video's duration
- •Supports videos up to six minutes
- •Avoids extending a short loop
- •Fits final frames and end cards
- •Billing follows input duration

How it works
1
Upload the finished video
Choose the MP4 or WebM footage that needs music. Use the finished cut when possible so the generated soundtrack reflects the pacing and duration you plan to publish.
2
Let the footage guide the score
Sonilo Video Music analyzes the video's content, pacing, and mood. You do not need to supply lyrics or choose between vocal and instrumental modes for this workflow.
3
Generate and download
Start generation and wait for the soundtrack to finish processing. Download the resulting MP3 or WAV track and place it under the original footage in your video editor.

What is Sonilo Video Music?▾
Sonilo Video Music is a video-to-music model that composes a soundtrack for uploaded footage. The music follows the video's content, pacing, mood, and measured duration.
How does Sonilo Video Music match music to my edit?▾
The model analyzes the video itself instead of relying on lyrics or a song description as the primary input. It uses the footage's pacing and mood to create music sized to the cut.
Can I use Sonilo Video Music commercially?▾
The official BudgetPixel documentation describes the output as a licensed soundtrack. The exact commercial permissions, ownership terms, attribution requirements, and platform restrictions depend on the terms applying to your account, so review those terms before publishing or monetizing the result.
What video files can I upload?▾
The model accepts MP4 and WebM input videos up to 360 seconds. The video can come from an uploaded-file URL, public URL, data URI, or raw base64, with a 30 MB cap for remotely fetched files.
Does Sonilo Video Music use lyrics or a vocal toggle?▾
No lyric field or vocal-versus-instrumental switch is part of this video-scoring workflow. You provide footage, and the model generates music to accompany that footage.
How long can the generated soundtrack be?▾
The soundtrack is sized to the duration of the input video. Sonilo Video Music supports input footage up to six minutes long.
What audio formats does Sonilo Video Music output?▾
You can request the finished soundtrack as an MP3 or WAV file. The model returns a separate audio track that you can add to the footage in your editing software.
Does Sonilo Video Music return a finished scored video?▾
This model returns the generated music track through an audio URL, not a newly rendered video file. Add the track to your original footage and adjust dialogue levels or final mixing in your editor.
How much does Sonilo Video Music cost?▾
Pricing is based on the measured duration of the input video, rounded to whole seconds, with a 10-second minimum. The job is charged only after successful generation, and the current per-second rate is shown in the model listing.
How does Sonilo Video Music compare to other AI music generators?▾
Sonilo Video Music is designed for projects where the soundtrack must fit an existing edit. Its video-first workflow emphasizes footage-driven pacing, mood matching, and exact duration rather than beginning with a standalone song prompt.
Does Sonilo Video Music have an API?▾
Yes — Sonilo Video Music is available through the BudgetPixel developer API via the `POST /v1/audios/sonilo-video-music` endpoint, supporting video-to-music. Generate an API key from the developer console (available on Premium plans and above) and see the full reference at docs.budgetpixel.com.
How much does the Sonilo Video Music API cost?▾
API usage is billed in credits from the same balance your plan includes, at the standard metered rate: 15 credits per second. Failed generations are never charged. You can estimate any request's exact cost with POST /v1/cost before running it.
Can I use Sonilo Video Music with Claude or other AI agents (MCP)?▾
Yes — Sonilo Video Music is exposed through the BudgetPixel MCP server, so Claude, Cursor, and any MCP-compatible agent can generate with it from a plain-language request. Connect your account at budgetpixel.com/mcp; generations use the same credit balance and pricing as the web studio and the API.
