What’s new at Envato? Fresh AI tools and the PremiumBeat catalog

Here at Envato we have been busy little bees making sure your subscription just keeps getting better and better.

Specifically, we’ve been busy shipping updates, launching tools, and generally making your creative life easier (and heaps more fun). From VoiceGen that can speak 35+ languages to AI video that can talk, from 40,000 extra music tracks in your library to image generation that’s never looked so good — we’ve been on a mission to kill the friction between your ideas and actually making them.

Some of these updates are flashy and quite frankly the dawn of a whole new creative era (looking at you, AI video with synced audio). Others are those quality-of-life improvements you didn’t know you needed until you can’t imagine working without them (1080p downloads from 4K files? Chef’s kiss). But they all have one thing in common: they’re designed to get you creating faster, better, and with way less hassle.

So grab your beverage of choice and let’s dive into what’s new at Envato. Spoiler alert: it’s a lot.

VideoGen copped a massive update. Now you can generate synced audio for all the AI videos you generate, simply by toggling audio “on”. Thanks to this update, your AI videos can now talk, sing, whisper, shout — whatever audio landscape you need. 

Need a bustling café with jazz and conversation murmur? You got it. Want character dialogue with proper lip-sync? No problem! The tool will generate the character’s voice lines as specified in the prompt and animate the character’s mouth to match — just make sure you put your desired dialogue in quotation marks. 

AI video with synced audio is a huge technological leap, one 2025 will be fondly remembered for. Behind the scenes, our tool-agnostic approach means you’re always tapping into the best models available — Google Veo 3, MiniMax Hailuo 02, Runway, and more — all working in tandem to give you the perfect audio-visual results.

Google Imagen 4 joined our ImageGen lineup last month, and the standout feature is typography that just works. After years of AI models giving us “COFEE SHOPP” and “RESTRANT,” we’ve got a model that can spell. 

But the text capabilities go deeper than just getting letters in the right order. Imagen 4 understands how text should look in context — vintage diner signs have that authentic neon glow, handwritten notes actually look handwritten, corporate logos maintain clean lines. The model was specifically trained on typography, which means you can generate everything from event posters to comic book panels without the AI text weirdness that was once part and parcel of AI image generation.

Beyond text, Imagen 4 brings serious improvements to photorealism. The model captures micro-details like fabric weave patterns, individual strands of fur, and the way light plays on water droplets. It also handles complex prompts better — you can describe scenes with multiple subjects, specific lighting conditions, and artistic styles, and it’ll parse what you’re actually asking for. 

Thanks to our tool-agnostic approach, when powerhouses like Imagen 4 drop, they’re instantly part of your toolkit, working alongside our other top-tier models to deliver the best possible result every time you generate. No switching between platforms, no choosing which model to use. Just better images, automatically.

As of last month, we’ve partnered with PremiumBeat to bring their entire catalog to Envato. That’s 40,000+ professionally produced tracks now sitting in your subscription, pushing your total music library past 320,000 tracks.

Here’s what matters about this partnership: PremiumBeat doesn’t do generic stock music. Their catalog is curated for broadcast standards, which means tracks that sound like they actually belong in your project. Every track comes with stems, loops, and alternate versions — pull out the drums during dialogue, loop that perfect eight-bar section, build tension with isolated percussion. Real flexibility for real editing.

The other thing worth knowing: these tracks are pre-cleared for YouTube’s copyright system. No mysterious claims, no revenue sharing with copyright bots, no explaining to clients why their video got flagged. PremiumBeat handles all the registration upfront, so you can upload and monetize without headaches. Same Envato login, same subscription price, just significantly more creative options when you need that perfect track.

Explore 40,000+ music tracks by PremiumBeat.

YouTube processes over 6 million Content ID claims daily, and most creators just accept them — even with legitimately licensed music. Who has time to dispute claims when you’re trying to actually create?

Enter Claim Clear, our new automated copyright resolution system. Here’s how it works: most tracks in our library are now pre-cleared, meaning no claims hit your videos in the first place. You can also clear copyright claims on Claim Clear-ready music on individual videos direct from the dashboard — saving you time and stress of having to do so via YouTube.

Every copyright claim means ad revenue leaving your pocket. Every manual dispute means hours not creating. Claim Clear kills both problems. Your tracks stay cleared, your revenue stays yours, and you focus on making things instead of fighting robots. One less thing standing between you and getting paid for your work.

Continuing the gen AI theme, did you know we now have an AI music generator? It’s called MusicGen, and it’s the answer to all your musical problems. Type what you need — “mysterious electronic with driving bass” or “lo-fi hip hop but make it jazzy” — and get original tracks in seconds.

It’s AI that understands musical language, so you can be as specific or abstract as you want. It knows the difference between “melancholic” and “brooding,” between “driving” and “pulsing.” Need that perfect 30-second clip to run longer? Extend it smoothly without the dreaded loop point. Like the vibe but want variations? Generate similar tracks that keep the same energy while exploring different directions. Not sure where to start? Use the mood and genre presets to dial in your sound.

We’ve given VoiceGen a major upgrade, expanding from its original 12-character lineup to over 35 expressive voices. Now you can filter by gender, age, and use case to find exactly the voice you need. The big news? Language support just exploded — VoiceGen now speaks 35+ languages natively. Just start typing in your language, and the model automatically detects it. From Tamil to Croatian, Arabic to Finnish, your scripts can now speak to audiences worldwide.

The VoiceGen Experiment is where things get interesting. Head to labs.envato.com/voice-gen/experimental and you’ll find a completely reimagined interface. Instead of picking preset characters, you’ll drag pills around to dial in emotion, accent, and speed. There’s even a tone slider to adjust the tenor of the voice. Think of it like having a voice actor who takes incredibly specific direction — “make it 20% more anxious, highly caffeinated, and with a hint of Australian accent” is now an actual request you can make.

Both versions are running simultaneously, so you can use whichever fits your workflow. The original for quick, character-based generation when you know what you want. The Experiment for when you need to fine-tune every emotional nuance, or just want to, you know, experiment. 

You can generate and download voice clips with VoiceGen, all included in your Envato subscription. No extra fees, no per-minute charges, just natural-sounding voices ready to bring your scripts to life in whatever language your audience speaks. Perfecto!

Try VoiceGen and explore with experimental mode.

“More from this series” just rolled out for stock video, solving that age-old problem of finding matching footage. When you find the perfect clip, you can now instantly see other shots from the same series — same location, same lighting, same models, same vibe. Hallelujah.

This changes everything for cohesive storytelling. Building a scene with multiple angles? Creating a campaign that needs visual consistency? The matching clips are right there, no more endless searching for footage that kinda-sorta matches. 

It’s especially handy for lifestyle content, cinematic B-roll, and establishing shots where continuity matters. Your projects look more professional when every clip feels intentionally connected, and now that’s actually achievable without spending hours hunting through search results.

No more downloading massive 4K files just to downscale them yourself. Selected 4K videos on Envato now come with an automatic 1080p option — and we’re adding more with this option every day. Click the size you want, download what you need. 

Here’s why this matters: our testing showed 1080p is still the most requested format, even more than 4K. Makes sense — not every project needs cinema-quality resolution, but everyone needs faster downloads and manageable file sizes. Whether you’re working on social content that’ll be compressed anyway, or you just need quick previews before committing to the full-res version, you can now grab exactly what your project requires. Very nice indeed.

Guess what? The new Recommended Music feature uses AI to suggest tracks you might like while you’re browsing stock video. Find a moody cityscape clip? Matching atmospheric tracks will appear alongside it. Looking at upbeat lifestyle footage? Energetic music options now show up automatically. 

This solves the workflow puzzle of jumping between video and audio tabs, trying to remember what mood you were going for. Our AI understands the vibe of the video you’re viewing and serves up music that actually fits — no more bookmarking videos, switching tabs, searching for music, losing your place, and starting over. It’s like having a magic little assistant in your computer who instantly gets what you’re trying to create and pulls the perfect tracks while you work. Everything stays in your creative flow, right where you need it.
