How can I edit a video like a pro?
The good news is, you don’t need a complicated video editing software to edit like a pro. Make full use of a free online video editor like Canva’s video editing platform for starters and unleash your creativity. Here are a few practical tips to get you started:
Can I add my own audio tracks to video editing projects?
1. Turn your vision into a story with a beginning, middle, and end.
Yes, you can. Add music, narration, and even soundtracks for the full effect. Just upload your mp3 track on the video editing platform and drag and drop it to the project timeline.
2. Have an outline or a storyboard.
3. Brainstorm with a team to make your video richer and more creative.
How do I add animations in the video editor?
And if you don’t have the perfect soundtrack just yet, browse our music track library. We’ve got quite a few free and pre-licensed options for you to choose from.
4. Explore different camera angles and cuts.
To add animations, click on the specific element that you want to animate. Then click on the Animate button on the Effects toolbar and choose which type of animation you want to use. Clicking on each will show you a preview of what the effect will look like on your project. You can also choose to animate the whole frame by clicking on Page Animations.
5. Enrich your existing footage with b-roll and stock video clips.
6. Use music to heighten the mood of your video.
How do I add background music to a video?
7. Organize your workflow by putting your materials into separate folders.
Simple: just upload your audio track, then drag and drop it to your project timeline. You can trim or extend the audio track depending on the length of your video. You can also choose a specific clip from it by hovering over the actual part of the track you want to use.
Do Canva videos have watermarks?
If you’re not satisfied with what you have, browse our audio track library. We’ve got thousands of pre-licensed stock audio you can use for free.
No, Canva videos do not have watermarks if you are using free elements, images, footage, and music as a Canva Free user. And if you are a Canva Pro user, your videos will not have any watermarks whether you are using free or paid elements.
Which browsers does the Canva video editor work best in?
To sum up, Pro or paid elements will only have watermarks on your videos if you're a Canva Free user.
Our online video editor works best in most web browsers like Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Safari, Firefox, and other Chromium-based browsers. We recommend that you update your browsers to their latest versions to ensure a smooth video editing experience.
