Create EASY VIDEOS with Canva

Introduction
Welcome to the world of video editing with Canva! In this tutorial, we will explore how to effectively edit videos using Canva’s user-friendly features. Whether you're working with clips from your computer or other online sources, you'll find that creating professional-looking videos can be a straightforward process.
Getting Started with Your Video Files
Before diving into video edits, ensure that you have your video files ready. Canva allows you to upload videos from various sources, including your computer, Facebook, Google Drive, Instagram, or Dropbox.
To begin, you can either:
- Type “video” into the search bar to view available templates and layouts.
- Scroll down on the homepage to find the video thumbnail, where you can start with a completely blank canvas.
Setting Up Your Video Project
If you decide to go with a blank canvas, select the “Elements” tab and choose a grid to make it easier to arrange your clips. After that, head to the “Uploads” section to import your video files.
Keep in mind that it's helpful to think in terms of "scenes." For instance, you can create a video with three distinct scenes. Start by copying your blank layout multiple times for each scene you want to create.
Choosing Your Clips
Next, select the video clips you'd like to use for each scene. For instance, you may want to begin with an introduction clip before transitioning to your main content.
If you'd like to trim the video duration, select the clip, click on the scissors icon, and adjust the length. Aim for a specific duration—five seconds is a good benchmark for each clip.
Adding Music to Your Video
Once you have your clips lined up, consider adding background music. Canva offers a variety of music genres to enhance your project. For example, you might select lo-fi or other travel-related music genres for a relaxing vibe.
Preview your video to check how the clips and music come together. It's a great way to ensure everything flows well before finalizing your edits.
Downloading Your Video
After you’re satisfied with your video, it's time to download it. Click the "Download" button, choose the MP4 format, and save it to your device. If you want to share it on social media, you can connect your accounts directly to Canva.
With these simple steps, you can create engaging videos that resonate with your audience. Connect with me on Instagram at epartnersmarketing and check out my portfolio at epartnersmarketing.com to stay updated on my designs.
