AI video generation platforms like Sora, Runway, and custom pipelines produce content at scale. Trackyard provides instant music licensing as a single API call — no manual clearance bottleneck.

​
The Challenge

Traditional workflow:
  1. Generate 100 videos via AI
  2. Manually search for music for each video
  3. License each track separately
  4. Download and merge audio manually
Problem: The music licensing step becomes the slowest part of the pipeline.

​
The Trackyard Solution

Integrate /search → /download-track directly into your video generation pipeline: 
# Generate video
video = sora.generate("A sunset over mountains")

# Get licensed music automatically
tracks = trackyard.search("cinematic ambient music for nature video")
audio = trackyard.download(tracks[0]["id"], duration_seconds=video.duration)

# Merge and export
final_video = merge(video, audio)
One workflow, end-to-end.

Integration Example

import requests
import subprocess

API_KEY = "your_api_key"
BASE = "https://api.trackyard.com/api/external/v1"
HEADERS = {"Authorization": f"Bearer {API_KEY}"}

def add_music_to_video(video_path, query, output_path):
    # 1. Get video duration
    duration = get_video_duration(video_path)  # via ffprobe
    
    # 2. Search for music
    search = requests.post(
        f"{BASE}/search",
        headers=HEADERS,
        json={"query": query, "limit": 1}
    ).json()
    
    track_id = search["tracks"][0]["id"]
    
    # 3. Download music (trimmed to match video)
    audio = requests.post(
        f"{BASE}/download-track",
        headers=HEADERS,
        json={
            "track_id": track_id,
            "duration_seconds": duration
        }
    ).content
    
    # Save temp audio
    with open("/tmp/music.mp3", "wb") as f:
        f.write(audio)
    
    # 4. Merge with ffmpeg
    subprocess.run([
        "ffmpeg", "-i", video_path, "-i", "/tmp/music.mp3",
        "-c:v", "copy", "-shortest", output_path
    ])

# Usage
add_music_to_video(
    "ai_generated.mp4",
    "upbeat music for tech product demo",
    "final_with_music.mp4"
)

​
Best Practices

Cache search results: If generating similar videos, search once and reuse the track across multiple outputs
Match music to video style: Include the video’s subject in your search query (“nature video”, “tech demo”, “fashion content”)
Use smart trimming: Let Trackyard handle clip selection instead of fading manually
