We are excited to share that xNova VC portfolio company Sonilo has announced a strategic partnership with Shutterstock, marking Shutterstock’s first-ever partnership with a video-to-music AI platform.
Sonilo is building what we believe is one of the most interesting next-generation AI-native creative infrastructure platforms. Instead of relying on prompts or manual editing workflows, Sonilo’s proprietary model directly analyzes video content — including pacing, structure, and emotional context — and automatically generates synchronized original soundtracks in seconds.
More importantly, Sonilo is taking a fundamentally different approach to AI-generated music by building on professionally licensed training data from day one. Through this partnership, Shutterstock’s music catalog will be licensed for AI model training, helping establish a more commercially viable and creator-aligned foundation for the future of generative media.
We believe the intersection of AI-generated video, music, and multimodal creative workflows will become an increasingly important part of the AI-native content stack. As AI creation tools evolve from isolated generation models into fully integrated production systems, infrastructure that enables scalable, commercially safe, and workflow-native content generation will matter even more.
Sonilo is already expanding rapidly across creator ecosystems, including integrations with ComfyUI and API support for broader platform workflows.
We are excited to support the Sonilo team as they continue building at the frontier of AI-native media creation.
