This tutorial shows how to connect ElevenLabs to Clevera: create an API key with the right permissions, add it to your workspace, then pick an ElevenLabs voice to regenerate voiceovers.Part 1: Generating Your ElevenLabs API Key with Necessary Permissions
To connect Clevera with ElevenLabs, you first need to create a dedicated API key in your ElevenLabs account. This key acts as a secure credential, allowing Clevera to access ElevenLabs’ voice generation services on your behalf. It’s crucial to set the correct permissions to ensure smooth functionality while maintaining the security of your ElevenLabs account.Step 1: Navigate to the ElevenLabs Developers Panel
Begin by logging into your ElevenLabs account. Once on the main dashboard, you’ll see a left-hand navigation menu with various categories. Scroll down the left navigation bar until you locate the Developers section, typically found towards the bottom under the “Products” and “Productions” categories. Click on Developers.
Step 2: Access the API Keys Management Section
Click the API Keys tab to view and manage your existing API keys.
Step 3: Initiate the API Key Creation Process
To create a new API key for Clevera, click the + Create Key button.
Step 4: Configure API Key Permissions for Clevera
Clevera requires specific permissions to properly integrate with ElevenLabs. These include access to Text-to-Speech and Read permissions for Voices, Models, and User data.4.1: Enable Text-to-Speech Access
Under the “Endpoints” section, locate Text-to-Speech. To enable text-to-speech functionality for Clevera, click the Access button next to Text-to-Speech. The button will change from “No Access” to “Access,” indicating it’s enabled.Enabling Text-to-Speech is essential for Clevera to generate audio from your video scripts using ElevenLabs. Without this, Clevera will not be able to create voiceovers.
4.2: Grant Read Permissions for Voices, Models, and User Data
Scroll down the “Create API Key” sidebar to find the Voices, Models, and User categories.- For Voices, click Read. This allows Clevera to list and select available ElevenLabs voices.
- For Models, click Read. This allows Clevera to identify and use ElevenLabs’ underlying voice models.
- For User, click Read. This allows Clevera to verify your ElevenLabs account details and remaining character credits.
Step 5: Create and Copy Your New API Key
After configuring all the necessary permissions, scroll to the bottom of the “Create API Key” sidebar. Click the Create Key button. The API key is presented as a long string of characters within a text field. Below it, you’ll see two buttons: Close and Copy to Clipboard. Click the Copy to Clipboard button to copy the entire API key to your system clipboard.
Part 2: Linking ElevenLabs to Clevera and Regenerating Voiceovers
With your ElevenLabs API key successfully generated and copied, the next step is to integrate it into your Clevera workspace. This connection will allow you to leverage ElevenLabs’ advanced voice technology directly within your video projects.Step 1: Navigate to Clevera Account Settings
Switch to your Clevera application tab in your browser. In the top-left corner of the Clevera dashboard, you’ll see your current workspace name (e.g., “Antbees”) next to a dropdown arrow. Click this dropdown arrow to open the workspace menu.
Click Account Settings.
The Account Settings page will load, displaying various personal information, password security, and integration settings. Scroll down the page to find the ElevenLabs API Key section.
Step 2: Paste the ElevenLabs API Key
Right-click inside the API Key input field and select Paste from the context menu to insert the ElevenLabs API key you copied earlier.
After pasting the key, click the Save Key button.

Step 3: Select a Video for Voiceover Regeneration
Now that ElevenLabs is integrated, you can use its voices in your video projects. On the left-hand navigation panel, click My Videos. The “My Videos” page displays a grid of all your video projects. Locate the video you wish to regenerate the voiceover for. In the video, a video titled “How to Automatically Add Google Meet Links To Your Google Calendar Booking Pages” is selected. Click on the desired video thumbnail to open it in the Clevera video editor.Step 4: Choose ElevenLabs as the Voice Engine and Select a Voice
Now whenever you generate a video, locate the Voice Engine section. You’ll see several options: Google, OpenAI, and ElevenLabs. Click ElevenLabs.
Once ElevenLabs is selected, a Voice dropdown menu will appear below it.
The voice picker displays a list of available ElevenLabs voices, often categorized by gender and accent.
Here you’ll find your voice listed.
The video concludes here, but in a real-world scenario, you would scroll down and click the Regenerate Video button at the bottom of the modal to start the regeneration process with your chosen ElevenLabs voice.
