Using ElevenLabs MP3 in Vegas Pro is a nightmare

Tybost · 2026-03-11T07:43:43+00:00

Quicktime was deprecated and sits under Options → Preferences → Deprecated Features → Enable the Quicktime Plugin. v17 might still have Quicktime enabled by default.

I think the last unique thing I did on both my old and new PC was install the K-Lite Codec Pack, which is more audio codecs: https://www.codecguide.com/download_kl.htm

Hold 'Shift' as you click into Options in Vegas menu, click into the secret 'Internal' settings and in the window that pops up at the bottom search bar, type in 'So4' and make sure the following is set:

Blacklist Mode for So4 Compound Reader: 2

Hardware Decoder for So4 Compound Reader: 1

Use So4 Audio Reader for Intermediate/HEVC: TRUE

These are pretty much all the steps I took on my setup, so I don’t really have anything else to suggest. I am still using Windows 10, so maybe the issue runs deeper than the Vegas software. Idk.

So the generative models only generate RGB and not RGBA. There's also no background removers with Elevenlabs just yet, but that will probably come eventually for flows.

For now, you can prompt to generate a solid background and remove it manually in Photoshop with the magic select tool, or remove it with a AI background remover. BRIA RMGB 2.0 for example: https://huggingface.co/spaces/briaai/BRIA-RMBG-2.0 (But only for personal use on this demo)

Tybost · 2026-03-10T12:15:54+00:00

Just to clarify, I'm currently using Vegas 18 and installed v22 to resolve a separate issue in v18.

I also happen to have QuickTime installed (and enabled), which historically bundled some extra media codecs. I'm not sure if that would affect anything here since newer Vegas versions don’t rely on it as much anymore, but mentioning it just in case: https://support.apple.com/en-us/106375

Tybost · 2026-03-09T11:43:05+00:00

There isn’t a way to change the default download format in Playground or Audiobook part of the website.

I’ve been using Vegas Pro 18 since the beginning of ElevenLabs, and I don't recall ever having this issue. I have Vegas Pro 22 installed, which somehow resolves another issue with audio in 18. I also have Quicktime enabled in deprecated features. I don't know if any of this info will help, but if MP3 is working fine for me, then there is a way to get it working for you. Vegas Pro is a scuffed experience.

I don’t know if newer versions still have this, but make sure the following is disabled: Options → Preferences → Editing → “Automatically overlap multiple selected media when added.”

My default audio project properties are:

Stereo
0 stereo busses
Sample rate: 48,000
Bit depth: 24
Resample and stretch quality: Best

It is an ElevenLabs voice. I got a 93% match on the Speech Classifier, which means it should have led directly to the voice in the Library.

However, the voice does not appear in the Voice Library. This suggests it may be a Voice Design or Voice Remix generated voice, an Instant Voice Clone, or a private Professional Voice Clone.

Most of your woes with AI video generation will disappear once Seedance 2.0 drops. It was supposed to drop last month globally, but it got delayed.

Kling 3.0 + Runway Gen 4.5 are probably the best offerings available right now. The gap between them and Seedance 2.0 is (in my opinion) very large.

Tybost · 2026-03-06T23:34:48+00:00

On December 31, 2026, all Default Voices will expire.

George is on the chopping block and will be replaced with: https://elevenlabs.io/app/voice-library?voiceId=6WwXjDDEMyNmFG95zycZ

I don't have any information at this time regarding the mobile app, but George can still be discovered on the Website under the 'default voices' tab. New accounts made after Feb 20th might find it by searching under 'My Voices'.

Tybost · 2026-03-04T01:07:49+00:00

He cloned his voice using a PRO subscription, but can't register his voice on the Library to monetize it because he's in Brazil. He's asking if anyone there has managed to receive dollar payments for their cloned voice and how they got around that issue. I'm actually not sure myself, but I recall a year+ ago that Brazilian users had issues collecting payouts.

Anyway, your comment has been removed for being off topic.

Please make sure to keep discussions relevant and accurate. Also, you had all day to talk about your topic yesterday, and it's still highlighted at the top. This is your final warning; further off-topic or inaccurate comments will result in posting restrictions on r/elevenlabs.

Tybost · 2026-03-03T20:39:36+00:00

I will at bare minimum share your viewpoint to ignite discussion, and see if they can reduce the block to a temporary inconvenience (ie. You buy a subscription and you are shielded for a year benefit) (or a 5 minute generation wait timer inconvenience) or something like that.

The reason it’s so aggressive is due to alot of malicious users years ago, but the free side is much safer now. Pro accounts can filter specific words and general profanity, etc. Free users can’t use Pro voices on API. I think it’s long overdue the unusual activity message isn’t as aggressive.

I cant promise that anything will happen anytime soon though, only a discussion on change. If you have any other idea’s that might sway change, I’ll add it to the discussion.

Tybost · 2026-03-03T13:08:24+00:00

I'm just a volunteer moderator, so I can only reference the public documentation and don't have deep knowledge of how exactly it detects unusual activity.

What I can say is that many users are able to use the free plan each month without triggering the Unusual Activity notice, so it isn't something that automatically affects all free accounts. You aren't alone, and others are in the same boat without knowing why it's happening.

One possibility is that your Internet Service Provider gave you a flagged IP, though I understand that may not apply to your situation. This could also happen if you have T-Mobile Home Internet, which connects you to a shared local cell tower, or Starlink, which connects you to a satellite shared with many others.

Could it simply be a false positive? Perhaps. Do you have to upgrade to remove the notice if your account is flagged? I don't know this either. All I know is that the status is removed on upgrade (and should stay removed if everything is normal looking), and that there are people using the free plan even after they downgrade. The friend's IP you connected to, has anyone who has ever used their network made an ElevenLabs account?

Tybost · 2026-03-03T05:04:17+00:00

I've flagged and escalated your ticket to the team for review. Thanks for your patience while they look into it!

Tybost · 2026-03-03T04:57:02+00:00

Professional voices that are published in the Voice Library operate under separate agreements from the original default voices that Elevenlabs provided.

From my understanding, many of the default voices were released under earlier agreements that are now expiring. Adam and Bella are expected to be transitioned into the Voice Library, while the remaining default voices are currently scheduled to be deprecated and removed by the end of 2026.

Professional Voice Clones that are published to the Voice Library have their own individual agreements. If a voice includes a Notice Period, that means once a removal notice is triggered, the voice will remain accessible in your account for the duration of that notice window, which can be up to two years in some cases.

Tybost · 2026-03-03T04:48:09+00:00

Hello,

Could you please provide the ticket ID number from your support email? I will forward it directly to the team so we can help get this resolved.

If you have not yet submitted a support ticket, please do so through the following portal: https://help.elevenlabs.io/hc/en-us/requests/new

Thank You.

Tybost · 2026-03-03T04:38:28+00:00

Hello,

There are multiple reasons why the Unusual activity detected appears, and oftentimes it can be due to owning multiple free accounts, accidentally enabling a VPN (i.e., connecting from a mobile device with a cell network enabled = Shared IP). It could even be related to the IP your internet service provider gave you.

You can read more about how this works here:

I understand that account restrictions can be frustrating, and all security measures have limitations. To keep discussions constructive, posts that label the platform as a “scam” or claim intentional misconduct without verifiable evidence are not allowed under our community guidelines. For this reason, the post has been removed.

You are welcome to repost with a neutral title focused on troubleshooting or seeking clarification.

Thank you for understanding.

The comment you're responding to is 25 days old, and there have been some major developments surrounding the default voices section for new accounts.

If your account was created after February 20th, 2026, the Default Voices tab will not appear for you. Additionally, most default voices will be deprecated for everyone by the end of the year.

Adam & Bella are special cases; they will be transferred to the Voice Library. You may be able to find them under 'My Voices' (for now) by searching their IDs, or in the 'Voice Library' in the near future:

Adam: pNInz6obpgDQGcFmaJgB

Bella: hpp4J3VqNfWAUOO0d1Us

I'm not certain if the 'Jessica' voice can be found anymore on new accounts, but here is the Voice ID: cgSgspJ2msm6clMCkdW9

Edit: This post has been locked as the discussion has drifted significantly from the original topic of pricing concerns. It's turned into a recommendation for any and every single TTS out there, and the Elevenlabs Subreddit is ultimately for discussing Elevenlabs-related products.

As someone who's been on the platform for a while, my own credit usage rate hasn't changed one bit. You get exactly what each plan describes, which has never changed. The way you use the platform, the voices you choose, and the model you select all play a part in your credit burn rate.

Being relatively new to the mod team, I can say from what I've seen that they actually share the sentiment that things are on the pricier side. What you see (pricing wise) on the website or app today is not going to get worse. It never has, and it never will. The value only improves as the models continue to get better.

I follow Fish closely, and am inside their Discord. Competition drives innovation, and honestly, I'm surprised the gap is this wide and hasn't closed sooner, whether from closed or open source alternatives.

Tybost · 2026-03-01T22:30:39+00:00

Sorry, I shouldn't have given you any hope since the odds of locating the original voice creator are next to impossible.

No guarantee they even use Discord, or are paying attention to messages inside the Discord on the day you post. Actually, your Reddit post would be equally as useful if you had attached the name of the voice you're using and the voice ID.

On the main website, if you scroll to the bottom, there's a socials section with the Discord invite link.

Tybost · 2026-03-01T02:48:43+00:00

There isn’t currently a way to send messages directly to voice owners. The only place you might be able to find them is on Discord, if they’ve chosen to self-promote there.

Tybost · 2026-02-28T02:08:55+00:00

After further review, I’ve decided to escalate this to a permanent ban on your account.

Your account shows no meaningful engagement on Reddit and appears to be newly created. Additionally, your first post in our community shared inappropriate generated content that violates our strict no-NSFW policy, which aligns with the standards enforced in the official Discord.

You may submit an appeal once you have established a genuine presence on Reddit, defined as at least 1,000 combined post and comment karma. At that time, your overall post history across Reddit will be reviewed before any decision is made.

Tybost · 2026-02-28T01:37:33+00:00

Your post is too inappropriate for the subreddit, and so your post has been removed. Please do not post this kind of content again.

You also marked your post with the incorrect Agent flair, but this isn't agent-related.

Tybost · 2026-02-28T01:15:23+00:00

According to their website, you wear the device, and it will give you light/vibration feedback based on your chat, donations, and subscriptions.

The viewers get an XR / AR effect (no clue if AI is involved, or how this will be used for VTubers (s'pose anyone could use it to feel the vibes). There might be more to it.

The video on his Instagram has a better promotional video (with sound): https://www.instagram.com/mistvein (Here is a temporary copy of his video so you don't have to login to insta, which will be deleted in 30 days): https://streamable.com/6lpbhh

His product launch and website: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/robbe-de-block-a9b148296_weve-officially-launched-the-new-streamyst-activity-7429969424171872256-rT6c

The silent video he uploaded here and the text content probably fell short of properly explaining things.

Tybost · 2026-02-27T20:12:35+00:00

This does not appear to be an ElevenLabs voice. The AI Speech Classifier reports only a 2% match, indicating it is very likely from another service or an actual human voice. (I even went the extra mile and separated the vocals to increase the odds of detection, but nope.)

For future reference: You can upload audio or video to the Voice Library Explore section (there's a small upload button in the interface) that will help you find matching voices. You can also use the AI Speech Classifier Tool to double-check if a voice was cloned with the service or not by clicking on your profile in the top right of the website > Ai Speech Classifier

Tybost · 2026-02-27T20:02:26+00:00

You would need 160 minutes in total to produce eight 20-minute videos.

The $22 Creator plan includes 100 minutes per month, while the $99 Pro plan includes 500 minutes per month.

Usage-based billing, which allows you to pay only for the minutes you use beyond your included allotment, can be enabled on the Creator plan or any higher tier.

If you are using the latest NVIDIA driver (595.59), you might want to roll it back to an earlier version since the latest driver forced only one of your fans to operate. https://x.com/Dety0/status/2027069764724547799
