There are many ways to loop a video in Canva. The most common method is to use the ‘Loop’ function in the ‘Video Settings’ tab. This will allow you to loop your video infinitely.

Another way to loop a video in Canva is to export your design as an MP4 file and then open the file in a video editing program like Adobe Premiere Pro or Final Cut Pro. In these programs, you can add an ‘Infinite Loop’ effect to your video.

How to create a video loop through Canva auto-play feature in a presentation

Canva is an excellent video editor that facilitates the production of professional-looking videos. Since it has such a basic user interface, even novices will have no trouble picking it up and running. A video can be made more interesting by looping it. Any video, whether it’s your own or one you find online, can have a looping effect applied to it. Making a video loop is a breeze.

The online tool Canva is fantastic for making unique promotional materials. In the same vein, it’s an excellent method for creating promotional videos for your business. By using Canva’s looping function, you can make your infographics more interesting and interactive.

Using this function, you can make your own loop, which will allow you to make an infographic that repeats in the same or different sizes.

Step #1: First, sign up for Canva and choose your video.

Enter your details in the appropriate fields and then select “Create a design” to begin working in Canva. Bring the video file into Canva. After creating a new project or opening an existing one, you’ll see the import button on the right side of the screen; click “Add Video” to begin adding footage. Your new video will be listed below your current assets.

Step #2: Click the “Present” button under the Share menu.

To access the presentation mode, click the arrow next to the title bar and pick “Present” from the menu. Then, under Present, you can decide how the video will play for yourself or an audience.

Step #3: Select “Start auto play” to have the video play indefinitely.

The location of the loop in your project can be adjusted in the new window that appears. The default is for it to begin playing at 0 seconds and end after 500 seconds, but you can change this if necessary.

Why you should try to loop a video in Canva

If you want your video to stand out from the crowd, try looping it. When a video is looped, the same segment keeps playing again and over, creating an eerie effect like to that of a vintage music box. Making a series of movies for a product launch, for instance, could benefit from the usage of loops to build up interest in the launch date.

Canva’s looping video creator is a useful tool for making commercials and social media posts that stand out. This is an excellent option if you need to incorporate video into your work but don’t have time to edit it.

Web material, music videos, promotional videos, social media postings, and more can all benefit from the use of looping video. They’re great for giving repetitive actions more flair or for highlighting key points in how-to videos.

Here are the three advantages of video looping in Canva:

  • Having material that can be seen repeatedly with no additional effort is a huge plus.
  • If people are compelled to do something after seeing even a small portion of your content, you’ve successfully attracted new viewers (like clicking on a button).
  • Movement in each frame makes the information more memorable than a still image or string of text, which leads to higher retention rates.
PRO TIP: If you are planning to loop a video in Canva, be aware that there are some potential risks involved. First of all, make sure that the video you are looping is appropriate for the project you are working on. Secondly, be sure to test the video before you publish it to make sure that it plays correctly. Finally, keep in mind that looping a video may increase the file size of your project, so be sure to save and backup your work frequently.

Conclusion

Video looping is an effective method of eliciting an emotional response from viewers. Researchers have found that more than 80% of internet users watch videos online for educational or informational purposes.

Since the widespread availability of electronic distractions, the human attention span has drastically decreased. The end result will look like live-action video editing.
