#Is it possible to have a script to video workflow in Elleven labs right now
1 messages · Page 1 of 1 (latest)
Yes. You can go from a script to a finished video in ElevenLabs today using Image & Video (Beta) plus Studio 3.0.
Two supported workflows:
-
Generate visuals from text, then narrate in Studio
- Use Image & Video to generate clips from text prompts with leading video models, optionally add lipâsync with ElevenLabs voices, then export to Studio. (elevenlabs.io)
- In Studio, add your script, assign voices, music/SFX, captions, align on the timeline, and export as video. (elevenlabs.io)
-
Build directly in Studio from your script
- Start a âvideo project from scratchâ or âNew video voiceover,â paste your script, and generate narration; you can also generate video inside Studio via the Video prompt or import videos you created in Image & Video. (elevenlabs.io)
Programmatic option:
- The Studio API provides programmatic control of this audio/video creation workflow (access on request). (elevenlabs.io)
Notes/limits:
- Image & Video is in beta; free plans generate images onlyâvideo generation requires a paid plan. (elevenlabs.io)
- Video exports on Free/Starter include a watermark; Creator or higher removes it. (elevenlabs.io)
If you already have footage and only need multilingual voice replacement, use Dubbing/Dubbing Studio instead. (help.elevenlabs.io)

What is Dubbing? â ElevenLabs
I need a visual aid, is there a youtube guide or anything. It's hard to picture this in my head
Here are the best official visual guides to picture the workflow:
- How to create a video voiceover in Studio (stepâbyâstep with screenshots: import/upload video, add narration, and export). (help.elevenlabs.io)
- What is Image & Video? (overview with visuals; generate images/videos and import directly into Studio). (help.elevenlabs.io)
- Studio overview (what the timeline looks like, tracks, and editing controls with images). (help.elevenlabs.io)
- Introducing ElevenLabs Image & Video (blog tour of the endâtoâend âgenerate visuals â refine in Studio with voice/music/SFX â exportâ flow). (elevenlabs.io)
Quickly mapping it to âscript â videoâ:
- Generate or import your visuals in Image & Video, then send to Studio. (elevenlabs.io)
- In Studio, add your script as narration, sync on the timeline, layer music/SFX, and export a finished video. (help.elevenlabs.io)
If you want, I can walk you through the exact clicks for your specific use case.

Yes give me specific clips. Let's say I made script giving college application tips. Give me the exact steps to turn this into a full vifeo just using elleven labs
Below is a script-to-video workflow that stays entirely inside ElevenLabs (Studio + Image & Video + Sound Effects + Eleven Music), with only steps documented in the official help center.
- Create a Studio video project and bring in your script
- In Studio, start a New video voiceover or New blank project > Video project. (help.elevenlabs.io)
- Paste your script, or import a document/URL (Studio accepts EPUB, PDF, DOCX, TXT, HTML, and URLs). (help.elevenlabs.io)
- Assign voices to sections/characters and generate speech; Studio supports perâsection voices and fineâtuning/regeneration. (help.elevenlabs.io)
- If you need a voice that isnât in the Voice Library, you can create one with Voice Design and then use it in Studio. (help.elevenlabs.io)
- Generate the visual clips for each section of your script
- Use Image & Video to generate videos from text descriptions (you can also provide reference images). This feature is in beta and videos can be imported directly into Studio projects. (help.elevenlabs.io)
- Alternatively, generate videos directly inside Studio: click Video in the sidebar to access the Video prompt, or import previously generated videos via the + button. (help.elevenlabs.io)
- Assemble your timeline in Studio
- Add your generated video clips to the video track in order. Studioâs timeline includes a video track and a caption layer so you can align narration precisely. (help.elevenlabs.io)
- You can resize the video view, remove a clip from the timeline, and generally manage your video assets from within Studio. (help.elevenlabs.io)
- Add background music and sound effects (optional, still within ElevenLabs)
- Generate a background music bed with Eleven Music, then add it to your Studio project as an audio track. Studio supports importing music and SFX on separate tracks. (help.elevenlabs.io)
- Create spot effects (e.g., UI clicks, whooshes) with Sound Effects; you can control duration and prompt adherence, then place them on SFX tracks in Studio. (help.elevenlabs.io)
- Export the finished video
- When everything is synced, click Export and choose a full video export (or audioâonly if needed). (help.elevenlabs.io)
Notes and scope
- Studio is the production workflow for creating professional audio and video content from text, visuals, and sound, with collaboration and versioning features for larger projects. (help.elevenlabs.io)
- Image & Video generation is currently in beta. (help.elevenlabs.io)
If you want me to suggest creative visual prompts for each
Give me credit estimate if I tried to make a 8 min video doing this
Short answer: it depends on which ElevenLabs video model you use for the visuals, plus the TTS model for narration. Hereâs a concise, sourceâbased estimate for an 8âminute video made entirely in ElevenLabs Studio (voiceover + AIâgenerated visuals).
Narration (voiceover)
- 8 minutes â 8,000 characters of text (ElevenLabs maps 40,000 chars â 40 minutes; i.e., ~1,000 chars/min). Credits per character depend on model: Flash/Turbo = 0.5 credit/char; all other TTS models = 1 credit/char. Estimate: 4,000â8,000 credits total for 8 minutes. (help.elevenlabs.io)
- In Studio you can regenerate small fixes up to twice for free if you donât change text/voice/settings. Playback of existing media doesnât consume credits. (help.elevenlabs.io)
Visuals (AI video clips youâll stitch on the Studio timeline)
- Generation cost is per clip and varies by model and duration; aspect ratio and resolution do not change credits, but duration does. Video requires a paid plan; Free can only generate images. (elevenlabs.io)
- Typical 8âminute timeline built from fixedâlength clips (compute: total seconds Ă· clip length Ă âstarts atâ credits/clip):
- Wan 2.5 (5s or 10s; starts at 2,500 credits): using 10s clips â 480/10 = 48 clips â â120,000 credits. (elevenlabs.io)
- Kling 2.5 (5s or 10s; starts at 3,500 credits): using 10s â 48 clips â â168,000 credits. (elevenlabs.io)
- Google Veo 3.1 Fast (4/6/8s; starts at 4,000 credits): using 8s â 60 clips â â240,000 credits. (elevenlabs.io)
- Google Veo 3.1 (4/6/8s; starts at 8,000 credits): using 8s â 60 clips â â480,000 credits. (elevenlabs.io)
- OpenAI Sora 2 (4/8/12s; starts at 4,000 credits): using 8s â 60 clips â â240,000 credits. Sora 2 Pro (4/8/12s; starts at 12,000 credits): using 12s â 40 clips â â480,000 credits. (elevenlabs.io)
Optional SFX/music
- Sound Effects (web): 200 credits/generation if AI picks duration, or 40 credits/second if you set it. Add as needed. (help.elevenlabs.io)
- Eleven Music shows the exact credit cost before you generate; cost depends on track length and variants. (help.elevenlabs.io)
Putting it together (example totals, visuals + narration only)
- Budget build (Wan 2.5 10s clips + Flash/Turbo TTS): â120,000 + 4,000 = â124,000 credits. (elevenlabs.io)
- Mid build (Kling 2.5 10s clips + Flash/Turbo TTS): â168,000 + 4,000 = â172,000 credits. (elevenlabs.io)
- Premium build (Veo 3.1 8s clips + Multilingual/v3 TTS): â480,000 + 8,000 = â488,000 credits. (elevenlabs.io)
Notes
- Before each visual generation, ElevenLabs shows the exact credit cost for your chosen model/settings; use that inâproduct indicator for precise budgeting. (help.elevenlabs.io)
- If you replace some video with still images, image models â
Gyat. What if I do image slideshows (every 5 seconds) instead of video generator.
Short answer: Yesâbuild a 5âsecondâperâslide slideshow in ElevenLabs by generating or uploading images, arranging them on a video track in Studio, adding voice/music, then exporting as MP4.
Workflow
- Create images: Use Image & Video (Beta). Pick an image model, generate your stills, then click Edit in Studio to send them to a project. The UI shows the exact credit cost before you generate. (elevenlabs.io)
- Arrange slides: In Studio, import images, add a video track, place images in order, and set each clip to 00:05 by trimming clip edges on the timeline. (help.elevenlabs.io)
- Add audio: Paste your script and generate narration on the timeline; optionally generate music directly in Studioâs Music tool. (elevenlabs.io)
- Export: Export the project as video. Note: video exports on Free and Starter plans include a watermark; Creator+ removes it. (elevenlabs.io)
Credits and estimating cost
- Images: Image model generations start at approximately:
- Seedream 4: 1,200 credits
- Flux 1 Kontext Pro: 1,600 credits
- Google Nano Banana: 2,000 credits
- OpenAI GPT Image 1: 2,400 credits
The generator shows the price before you click Generate; cost varies with settings and how many variations you request. (elevenlabs.io)
- Voiceover: Textâtoâspeech credits are per text character. Flash/Turbo models typically cost 0.5 credit/char on selfâserve plans; Multilingual v1/v2/v3 cost 1 credit/char. Some shared voices may apply multipliers. (help.elevenlabs.io)
- Music (optional): Music pricing is fiatâbased and converted to credits per your plan; the exact credit cost is shown next to Generate and depends on length and variants. (elevenlabs.io)
Example for an 8âminute slideshow at 5 seconds/slide:
- 8 minutes = 480 seconds â 480/5 = 96 images.
- If you generate one image per generation:
- Seedream 4: ~96 Ă 1,200 â 115,200 credits
- Flux 1 Kontext Pro: ~96 Ă 1,600 â 153,600 credits
- Google Nano Banana: ~96 Ă 2,000 â 192,000 credits
- OpenAI GPT Image 1: ~96 Ă 2,400 â 230,400 credits
Actual totals can differ if you request multiple variations per generationâthe UI will show the exact charge before running. (elevenlabs.io)
If you paste your script (so we can count characters) and pick the image model you want, I can compute a precise credit total for
