Can Beatoven.ai actually produce music good enough for a YouTube video?
I make documentary-style videos on YouTube as a side project and finding background music that fits the mood without costing a fortune or risking a copyright strike is a constant headache. Someone in a video editing forum mentioned [Beatoven.ai](http://Beatoven.ai) as a way to generate royalty-free music that actually matches the emotional tone of a scene, which sounds almost too good to be true.
What I want to know is how much control you actually have over the output. Can you specify things like tempo, instruments, and mood in detail, or is it more of a vibe-based input where you pick from a few broad categories and hope for the best? I have tried a couple of other AI music tools and they always felt a bit random and disconnected from what I asked for.
Also, how does the music hold up over longer edits? A lot of my videos run 10 to 15 minutes and I need tracks that can sustain a mood without feeling repetitive or looping awkwardly. Has anyone used Beatoven for longer form content and found it works well for that, or is it better suited to short clips?
