Projects
Browser-based AI audio and video editor for voiceovers, dubbing, music, sound effects, and captions with Eleven v4.
If your output is narrated — podcasts, audiobooks, voiceover-led video — Studio's text-based editing removes the single most painful step in the process: re-recording a bad take. Eleven v4 landing in September 2026 also moves expressiveness and cloning quality meaningfully. Budget attention, though: the shared credit pool is the real constraint, not the feature list.

Skip Studio if you need offline or desktop editing, multicam and color-grading finishing tools, or if your month leans heavily on Eleven Music (900 credits/min) or Dubbing Studio without watermark (10,000 credits/min) and a shared credit pool won't stretch.
Credits are shared across every ElevenLabs product, so music at 900 credits/min and Dubbing Studio without watermark at 10,000 credits/min drain the same pool your voiceovers draw from.
Studio's ladder runs Free ($0), Starter ($6/mo), Creator ($22/mo, first month $11), Pro ($99/mo), Scale ($299/mo), Business ($990/mo), and custom Enterprise. Annual billing is two months free — effectively $5/mo Starter, $18.33/mo Creator, $82.50/mo Pro, $249.17/mo Scale, and $825/mo Business. Solo creators get real value from Starter and Creator; teams needing seats should budget for Scale at $299/mo, which is pricier than Descript's team tiers but bundles voice, music, and dubbing into one

About Projects
ElevenLabs Studio is a browser-based AI audio and video editor built for people who produce spoken-word content: podcasters, audiobook authors, video creators, localization teams, and AI filmmakers. You bring a script, a manuscript, or an MP4/MOV file and assemble everything on one timeline — AI voiceovers pulled from the Voice Library of 17,000+ voices, Eleven Music soundtracks, prompt-generated sound effects, captions, voice conversion, transcription, and dubbing. Nothing to install; projects live in the browser and can be shared through public URLs. The workflow that separates Studio from a generic NLE is Speech Correction. Fluff a line and you don't re-record — you edit the text and Studio regenerates it in the same cloned voice. Voice Isolator strips background noise and reverb from dialogue, one-click captions add custom styles plus multilingual subtitles, and document import (EPUB, PDF, TXT, HTML, or a starting URL) turns a manuscript into a structured audiobook project. Multi-cast casting assigns distinct voices to individual text fragments, so a full cast comes out of one text document. Studio Agent is the co-editor layer: describe what you want and it drafts the script, picks voices, places sound effects, and arranges clips, with manual takeover available at any point. Latest news extends the editing surface further — Eleven v4 and v4 Turbo (September 28, 2026) push expressiveness, stronger voice cloning, and 90+ language coverage, with v4 Turbo tuned for real-time work at roughly 100 ms median latency, and batch plus realtime transcription now accept natural-language edit instructions and return an edited transcript. Pricing is credit-based and shared across every ElevenLabs product, so speech, music, dubbing, and transcription draw from one pool — check per-product burn rates before committing. Everything in Studio is reachable programmatically through the ElevenAPI.
Behind the Verdict
We'd reach for Studio when the hard part of the job is the voice, not the picture. Podcasters cleaning dialogue, authors revising a chapter's narration by retyping a sentence, video creators who need a voiceover plus captions plus a scored bed on one timeline — that's the sweet spot, and Speech Correction is why. Edit the text, keep the clone, skip the booth session. Document import into EPUB/PDF/TXT/HTML also makes long-form manuscript work feel native rather than bolted on. Pick it when you want one subscription covering speech, music, SFX, captions, dubbing, and transcription, and when Speech to Text being able to take a natural-language edit instruction (2,000 characters, returns an edited_transcript) saves your team another tool. The Eleven v4 arrival in late September 2026 matters here: 90+ languages, sharper cloning, and v4 Turbo around 100 ms median latency for real-time use. Pass if you're cutting multicam, color grading, or doing finishing-grade video work. Studio does timeline trim, merge, and sync — not compositing or visual effects. Pass too if you need offline or desktop operation, since it runs in the browser, and if your team needs advanced VFX beyond trimming. Watch the credits. Everything draws from one monthly pool and the burn is uneven: Voice Changer and Voice Isolator run 1,000 credits per minute, Eleven Music 900 per minute, Speech to Text 330 per minute, and Dubbing Studio without watermark 10,000 per minute. On Pro's 600,000 credits, a watermark-free dub of a 60-minute episode eats the month. Music- and dub-heavy producers should model spend before subscribing. The closest alternative depends on what you're optimizing. Descript trades AI-native voice tooling for a stronger transcript-first video editor; Adobe Premiere Pro and DaVinci

Real-world workflow fit
Concrete scenarios for the personas Projects actually fits — and what changes day-one when you adopt it.
Import an EPUB manuscript, cast a distinct voice per character with multi-cast, then spot a misread line in chapter 12 and fix it by editing the text so Speech Correction regenerates the same cloned voice.
Outcome: A completed audiobook project with consistent narration and no re-recording sessions, shareable via a public project URL for editor or client review.
Upload the raw episode, run Voice Isolator to strip room reverb and background noise, fix flubbed sentences with Speech Correction, then generate an original theme track with Eleven Music and export at 192 kbps.
Outcome: A cleaned episode with an original soundtrack, produced in one browser session instead of a DAW plus a separate music subscription.
Import an MP4, add an AI voiceover synced on the timeline, generate sound effects from prompts, add one-click multilingual captions, then produce a dub into a second language from the same project.
Outcome: One source project that ships a captioned original plus a localized dub version, with credit spend visible before rendering.
Use Cases
- Turn a book manuscript into a professional audiobook with distinct voices per character.
- Clean up a podcast episode, fix flubbed lines, and generate an original theme track.
- Add AI voiceover, auto captions, and scored background music to an MP4 or MOV edit.
- Produce multilingual dubs and subtitles from a single source project.
- Prototype a film scene with AI voiceover, sound effects, and music on one timeline.
- Describe a video brief to Studio Agent and get a drafted script with voices and clips arranged.
Models Under the Hood
as of 2026-10-08
Limitations
- Studio is browser-based, so offline editing isn't possible, and video support stops at MP4/MOV import with trim, merge, and sync — no multicam, color grading, or compositing.
- Every product draws from one shared monthly credit pool, and the vendor's own pricing FAQ lists Eleven Music at 900 credits per minute and Dubbing Studio without watermark at 10,000 credits per minute, so a $99/mo Pro plan's 600,000 credits can be consumed by a single long dub.
- Free is capped at 3 Studio projects and 10,000 credits, and paid tiers cap monthly credits (30k Starter, 121k Creator, 600k Pro, 1.8M Scale, 6M Business).
- Voice cloning is plan-gated — Instant Voice Cloning starts at Starter, Professional Voice Cloning at Creator.
- Team collaboration and workspace seats start at Scale ($299/mo, 3 seats), and custom SSO, DPAs/SLAs, and HIPAA BAAs require Enterprise.
- Unused credits roll over for up to two months only while you stay on an active paid plan — downgrading or cancelling forfeits them, and Free has no rollover.

Where the pricing makes sense
The company stage and team size where Projects's pricing actually pencils out — and where peers do it cheaper.

Setup time & first value
How long it actually takes to get something useful out of Projects — broken out by persona, not the marketing-page minute.
Solo creators can go from signup to a first rendered voiceover in about 10–15 minutes using Free or Starter — paste a script, pick a voice, hit generate. Audiobook authors should budget an hour or two for document import, speaker assignment, and multi-cast voice casting. Teams adding Scale or Business tiers need extra time for workspace setup, seat assignment, and professional voice clone
Switching to or from Projects
How to bring data in from common predecessors and how to get it back out — written for the switcher, not the buyer.
- →From Descript: export your audio and transcript, then rebuild the project in Studio and use Speech Correction plus Eleven Music for the generative assets Descript doesn't provide.
- →From Adobe Podcast: move cleaned audio and scripts into Studio to add Eleven Music scoring, dubbing, and multi-cast voice casting on one timeline.
- →From a manual DAW workflow: export stems and a script, import the script as TXT or PDF, and let Studio Agent draft the arrangement before you refine manually.
- →From a book manuscript: import the EPUB or PDF directly and assign speakers per section rather than slicing chapters by hand.
- ↗To Descript: export your Studio audio and captions, then rebuild for conventional multitrack editing and non-generative video workflows.
- ↗To Adobe Premiere or DaVinci Resolve: export stems, voiceover WAVs, and caption files to finish with multicam, color grading, and effects tools Studio doesn't cover.
- ↗To a standalone DAW: pull WAV exports at 44.1 kHz (Pro tier and above) into your mix session for fine-grained mastering.
