From TikTok Ads and YouTube videos, to workplace and business videos, you can easily create and customize videos on Canva with features like:
Scene-Based Editor: Simplify video creation with a scene-based approach that feels familiar to building presentation slides, to eliminate the learning curve.
Single Layer Timeline on Desktop and Mobile: Scenes can easily be re-ordered, lengthened, or split using the timeline, to turn individual scenes into a story. Cinematic transitions enable a perfect flow between segments, and editing is optimized for mobile apps and browsers, removing the need for powerful hardware.
Multiple Audio Tracks: The video timeline now supports multiple audio tracks, whether uploaded to Canva or dragged from the media library, to enhance videos with music, sound effects, and narration.
Screen and Camera Recording: Users can now record footage from a camera, screen, or Chrome tab, perfect for video messages and tutorials.
