Key facts
- Studio Agent: AI co-editor that ‘drafts a first cut on the timeline - placing clips, generating voiceovers, and syncing sound effects’ (web only)
- Generation of video, images, voice, music and SFX inside a project; redesigned timeline with frame-level zoom and clip snapping; captions as timeline clips; clip-level comments; rebuilt playback engine
- Available on every plan incl. Free (3 projects, watermarked video); paid plans from $6 Starter (per secondary coverage)
- Visual generation comes from third-party models that ElevenLabs hosts through its Image & Video API: Seedance 2.0/2.5, Veo 3.1, GPT Image 1-2.5, Nano Banana family and Seedream 5 per the docs; GPT Image 2.5 Flare/Sunburst added 2026-09-21. Sora 2 was removed on 2026-09-23 after OpenAI shut down the Sora API on 2026-09-24
- Same month: Eleven Music v2.5 (09-11), Reception AI receptionist (09-16), Eleven v4 TTS (09-28)
What happened
ElevenLabs rebuilt Studio, its long-form audio and video editor, around generation and an in-editor agent. A user describes a video, and Studio Agent places generated clips, voiceovers and sound effects on the timeline for manual refinement.
Why it matters
ElevenLabs had been a voice-model company. Studio 4.0 makes it a multi-model video production tool that pairs third-party video models with its own voice and music. That puts it in competition with CapCut, Descript and the video labs’ own editors.
