How Do I Make a Video With Canva?

Last updated on September 27, 2022 @ 1:17 pm

Assuming you have a Canva account (if not, sign up for free here), follow these steps to make your first video:

1. On the homepage, hover your mouse over the “Create a design” button and select “Video” from the drop-down menu.

2. On the next page, you’ll see a range of video templates to choose from. Select the one you like best or start from scratch by clicking on “Start from scratch.”

3. Once you’ve chosen a template or decided to start from scratch, you’ll be taken to the editing interface. Here, you can add text, photos, videos, and shapes to your video canvas.

4. To add text, click on the “Text” tab in the left-hand sidebar and then click on the “Add heading” or “Add paragraph” buttons. A text box will appear on your canvas where you can start typing. To format your text, use the options in the top toolbar.

5. To add photos or videos, click on the “Uploads” tab in the left-hand sidebar and then drag-and-drop your files onto the canvas. You can also add images by clicking on the “Search” tab and selecting an image from Canva’s library of over 1 million stock photos, illustrations, and icons.

6. To add shapes, click on the “Shapes” tab in the left-hand sidebar and then select the shape you want to add from the options that appear. Once you’ve added a shape to your canvas, you can resize it and change its color using the options in the top toolbar.

7. When you’re happy with your video design, click on the “Download” button in the top toolbar and select “MP4 Video.” Your video will start downloading automatically.

Creating a video with Canva is quick and easy! Just follow these simple steps and you’ll have a professional-looking video in no time.

PRO TIP: Canva is a great way to make videos, but there are some things you should know before you start. First, Canva is a web-based tool, so you’ll need to be connected to the internet to use it. Second, while Canva is free to use, you’ll need to create an account and login before you can start making videos. Finally, while Canva is easy to use, it’s important to read the instructions carefully before you start so that you don’t accidentally create a video that’s too long or too short, or that doesn’t look the way you want it to.
