As the world’s largest online design platform, Canva is used by millions of people every day to create stunning visuals. But did you know that you can also use Canva to edit long videos?

Yes, it’s true! Canva’s powerful video editing tools make it easy to trim, crop, and add effects to your videos. Plus, with our new video duration feature, you can now edit videos that are up to an hour long!

So if you’ve been wanting to edit long videos but didn’t know how, now you do. Here’s a step-by-step guide to editing long videos in Canva:

PRO TIP: Canva is a great tool for creating short videos, but it isn’t designed for editing long videos. If you try to edit a long video on Canva, you may run into problems with the tool freezing or crashing.
  1. Upload your video
  2. To start editing your video, first upload it to Canva. You can do this by clicking the “Uploads” tab in the left-hand sidebar and then selecting “Video” from the drop-down menu. Once you’ve done that, click the “Upload Video” button and select your video file from your computer.

  3. Edit your video
  4. Now that your video is uploaded, it’s time to start editing it! To do this, click on the “Edit Video” button in the top toolbar. This will open up the video editor, where you can make all sorts of changes to your video.

    First, you can trim your video by dragging the blue handles at either end of the video timeline. This is a great way to remove any unwanted footage from the beginning or end of your video.

    Next, you can crop your video. To do this, simply click on the “Crop” tool in the top toolbar and then drag the crop handles to crop out any unwanted parts of the frame.

    Finally, you can add effects to your video by selecting one of the options from the “Effects” menu in the top toolbar. There are all sorts of fun effects to choose from, so experiment until you find one that you like!

  5. Export your video
  6. When you’re happy with your edited video, it’s time to export it so you can share it with the world! To do this, click on the “Export Video” button in the top toolbar and select either “Download Video” or “Share Video.”

    If you choose to download your video, you can select either an MP4 or GIF format. We recommend MP4 for most purposes as it offers high quality without taking up too much space.

    If you choose to share your video, you can share it directly to social media or generate a link that you can share anywhere. We recommend using a link if you plan on sharing your video outside of social media (e.g., via email or SMS).

Conclusion:

So there you have it! Now you know how to edit long videos in Canva.

Whether you want to trim your videos down to size or add fun effects, Canva makes it easy.
