Background music that is exactly 30 seconds
Most music tools give you “about 30 seconds”. Video editors need exactly 30 seconds — because the cut is 30 seconds, and the fade has to land on the last frame.
Why “about 30 seconds” breaks your edit
If a track comes back at 28.4 seconds, you have three bad options: loop it (the seam is audible), stretch it (the pitch drifts), or fade it early (the edit feels rushed). If it comes back at 32 seconds, you either cut the ending or trim the whole timeline.
The fix is not to trim in your editor. It is to ask for the exact length in the first place.
What “exactly” means here
We generate at the requested duration and then post-process the audio so it lands on the target to the millisecond:
- leading silence is trimmed, so the first beat starts at 0.000s;
- the tail is faded and cut at the exact frame;
- if the model overshoots, the extra is trimmed rather than left in.
The result for a 30-second request is a file that is 30.000 seconds long — the same length as your cut.
Choosing a length
We offer 30, 45, 60, 75 and 90 seconds. Match the length to the edit rather than to the genre:
- 30s — social clips, product teasers, idents.
- 45s — short explainers, podcast intros.
- 60s — the standard TV/online spot.
- 75–90s — narrative beats, menu loops, long-form intros.
If you need it to loop
A loop is a different problem: the end has to meet the beginning without a click. Turning on Seamless loop makes the track crossfade into its own start, so it repeats without a seam — useful for menus, waiting screens and game ambience.
For a loop, choose a length that divides your scene evenly. A 30-second loop over a 90-second scene repeats three times and never lands mid-phrase.
Try it with one photo
You do not need to describe the music. Drop a photo in, and the track takes its mood from what is in the picture — the lyrics even name the objects. Pick 30s, and the file you download is exactly 30 seconds.
