Eleven Labs

So recently I've been importing clips from a voice software called eleven labs. If I import under 2 clips, Adobe pro works perfectly, but the second I do over 3 it glitches out.

Are you converting the files yo udownload from ElevenLabs to .wav before importing them into Premiere?

We've also been using elevenlabs and found that a best practice is to convert the mp3 files downloaded from the platform to wav as that's a native audio codec Premiere can understand.

Whenever I've worked with mp3 files in Premiere, the software treats these clips erratically (i.e. not showing the wave file, weird glitchy noises on playback, etc.).

Pro Tip: Set up a "watch folder" in Media Encoder to convert any files in there to .wav.
Now, whenever you download a .mp3 file from ElevenLabs into that folder, Media Encoder will automatically create a .wav version of the file. Take that .wav version and import it into your project.

Hope this helps!

I'm going to say @jondrometa  has the right idea.

Agreed, and...

PPro definitely understands .mp3 files as 'native audio codec' files, just as it does .wav files. It's just that, in production, mp3 files vary wildly, depending on how (and with what tools) they were written, compared to the relatively more homogenous world of .wav files.
