when you generate fire AI video but then spend 45 minutes trying to make focus music “fit” the vibe 😭
real talk: a lot of us video gremlins have tried Brain.fm hoping it would solve our soundtrack problems. you know the one — science-backed focus tracks with those neural phase-locking beats that supposedly put you in deep work mode. it’s great for studying, writing scripts, or grinding edits while wearing headphones.
but here’s the plot twist: Brain.fm is made for listening while you work, not for scoring your actual video. the tracks are usually fixed-length loops, personal-use only, and they don’t magically sync to your cuts, pacing, or emotional shifts. so you end up trimming, fading, looping awkwardly, and still feeling like the music is just… there. not with your footage.
enter Sonilo as a much better fit for actual video creators.
you upload your finished (or almost-finished) clip — whether it’s a cinematic Luma piece, a YouTube essay, a Reel, or a brand promo — and Sonilo’s AI watches the video. it reads the mood, timing, energy changes, and scene transitions, then generates original background music that:
matches the exact length (no more weird trimming)
hits the emotional beats when your visuals do
feels intentional instead of slapped on top
and the best part? the outputs on paid plans come with commercial use rights, so you can actually use them in monetized videos and client work without stressing about licensing.
Brain.fm = amazing for your personal focus sessions Sonilo = actually useful when you need music for the video you’re making
they solve completely different problems, but a lot of creators get them mixed up when searching for “AI music for videos.”
if your current workflow involves fighting with music that doesn’t quite fit, this video-first approach might save you a ton of time and make your final videos feel way more polished.
