The problem
Short-Form Content Apps
Problem
Every clip sounds like the same track
Your users pick from the same small set of trending tracks, so their videos blend into one feed. Feeds fill with identical audio, and your app starts to feel like a template instead of a place to make things.
With Mubert
Generate a new track per video from text, an image, BPM, genre and mood, or filter the library of about 12,000 tracks. Each user gets music that fits their clip.
Problem
Tracks never match the clip length
Short videos run 15 seconds or 90 seconds, and a fixed song has to be trimmed or faded out. Cut-off endings sound sloppy, and users give up on editing or post the clip with the wrong music.
With Mubert
Request tracks from 15 seconds up to 25 minutes in MP3 or WAV, so the music is made to the length of the video. Webhooks tell your backend when each track is ready.
Problem
Licensing and claims at user scale
Once thousands of users post, a licensed commercial track in one clip can trigger a muted video or a takedown. Clearing music per user is paperwork your small team can't keep up with.
With Mubert
Your backend creates a customer for each user with its own customer-id and access-token, and their usage counts against your license. Check the pricing page plan table for sub-licensing and monetized content.

How it fits your product
Short-form clips live or die in the first two seconds, so the music needs a hook right away. Aim for 100 to 130 BPM, a clear beat and one lead sound such as a pluck or bass line. Keep the midrange open so voiceover and captions stay readable. Build loops that end cleanly at 15, 30 or 60 seconds, so the track lands with the final cut.
Use track mode when a user finishes a clip. Your backend calls the API with the clip's mood, genre or BPM, picks a duration from 15 seconds up, and gets a webhook when the file is ready. Create a customer for each user so their usage counts against your license. Add like and dislike buttons so later tracks match their taste.

FAQ
Short-Form Content Apps
How long should music be for short-form video apps?
Short-form clips are usually a few seconds to about a minute. Mubert API generates tracks starting at 15 seconds, so you can match the length of each clip. Longer durations, up to 25 minutes, are available when your app needs them. Output comes as MP3 or WAV.
Can a short-form app give each user their own music?
Yes. Your backend creates a customer for each user, which returns a customer-id and an access-token. Their usage counts against your license. Like and dislike feedback can then personalize the music. Check the plan table on the pricing page for sub-licensing and monetized content.
