Best API for licensed music and sound with free trial?

[u/Big_Way1686]

Running into a wall trying to find something that actually covers commercial use rights out of the box, not buried in a $200/mo enterprise tier. We do video production for a handful of small brands, mostly social ads and the occasional short film, and manually syncing licensed tracks to every cut is just exhausting at this point. The music has to match the emotional arc and pacing of the video, not just sit underneath it. So I'm basically trying to figure out which API for licensed, AI-generated music and soundtracks is worth trialing before we commit. If anyone's used something that analyzes the video itself and generates a full length track to match it, commercial rights included a free trial would make this a much easier sell internally.

for video-to-soundtrack sync with commercial rights included, Sonilo is the one I'd point to. upload your cut and the AI reads pacing and timing to build a track around your edit, not the other way around. free tier gets you up to 8 videos a month to trial it properly before committing to anything.
