Product Overview
What is Sonilo?
Sonilo is a multimodal audio platform built around a simple premise: video comes first, and the music or sound effects should follow it exactly. Instead of picking a track from a stock library and cutting it to fit, users upload a video and Sonilo reads its pacing, scene changes, mood, and duration to compose an original soundtrack or synced sound effects layer that matches the footage frame by frame. The engine is trained exclusively on licensed catalogs (with a Shutterstock partnership backing its content pipeline), so outputs stay clear for commercial use on paid plans. Beyond the web app, Sonilo ships a developer API and native plugins for Unity, Godot, Epic Games Fab, Roblox, and Defold, letting studios and platforms generate audio without leaving their production environment.
Key Features
Video-to-Music Generation
Upload an MP4 or MOV and Sonilo composes an original score that mirrors the clip's runtime, pacing, transitions, and emotional arc, with no prompt required.
Video-to-Sound-Effects
Analyzes visible actions scene by scene and returns Foley, impacts, ambience, and UI cues already timed to what's happening on screen.
Text-to-Music and Text-to-SFX
Generates standalone tracks or isolated sound effects from a written prompt when no video is available yet.
Game Engine Plugins
Native integrations for Unity, Godot, Epic Games Fab, Roblox, and Defold allow developers to score scenes without leaving the editor.
Developer API
REST endpoints covering video-to-music, video-to-SFX, text-based generation, audio ducking, and task/usage monitoring for building audio into third-party apps.
Commercial Licensing
Pro, Premium, Enterprise, and eligible API tiers carry commercial-use rights for ads, client deliverables, and monetized channels, backed by a fully licensed training catalog.
