Video

It depends on how transformative you are making the content. I love using Canvas elements and animated graphics to add to the video I have personally filmed as well as finding b roll within that make my content stand out. Just remember the one time use per download for pro elements and make sure it's truly transformative.

@@TheCreatorClassroom Thank you!

This was specific to videos. With elements best practice is to change something even if it's just color assuming you're referencing adding an element to a video as an overlay.

Now you know if I sound really awkward that it's because it was the best option. 😅

That is such a sweet thing to say. I have a much newer channel art tutorial playlist that you may find helpful! czcams.com/play/PLkyPtSLH6Hha4D43WDLjY4LCvi182xx1g.html

I definitely understand that

Instead of using guides use lines if you want the lines to show up on the design

@@TheCreatorClassroom Thanks for the reply. Unfortunatley, I have 28 vertical and 28 horizontal lines to create the grid. Within the "add guides" choice on the menu there is a point where you can custom input how many columns and rows you want which makes things easy to create multiple lines in the guide, but I need to print them. I guess I'll start drawing lines! LOL.

@OVMusicMentor put up the guides. Type L on the keyboard for one line and give the border weight how you'd like. Duplicate as many times as you want. Put them where the guides are.

@nusrathv4807 since I can't see exactly what you're using. I cant say. But make sure to watch all the way through and I did link to a page from Canva in the description that should help you decipher TOS from Canva.

Banners do not need to be fancy. Just convey as simply as possible what a viewer is going to achieve by watching your videos.

@@TheCreatorClassroom How about a intro video?

Are you speaking specifically about a video on your channel that introduces everyone to your channel or about a little stinger in each video?

@@TheCreatorClassroom Yes, exactly!

@davidpoo66 those are two different things. That's why I asked which one. BTW. Stingers are no longer recommended practices. But you can always film a short welcome video for new audiences and apply it to what's called a channel trailer. This won't be added to all videos, just a video spotlight on your design. If you are new to CZcams. I recommend keeping it simple. Film your intro to the channel as in what your channel is and why someone would want to be there [value proposition] and make cuts only.

You're welcome!

"and turn them into shorts" - hahaha totally gave me a chuckle too!

I started to not use that and refilm then I thought you know what I'm gonna leave it. 😂😂😂😂

I often get mixed up on the position for the different interfaces. EEP! #learningslowly

Oh which thumbnail did you see? I realized this test is still running. So there are 2 or 3 options

me too. Plus they CHANGE it!

It's a pretty awesome reel or video technique especially if you are answering a comment with a reel

It sure is. It's one of my favorite features to use.

I'm glad you found it helpful

Download as mp4 and put into the video wherever you need. Background grounds can be whatever you want. Right click. Detach from Background. Choose another video or photo and right click and set as Background is quickest way

Are you on one called Canva Doc? It still works like I showed here. I just used it this morning. Great idea for a video. Creating a brainstorm document. I'll put that on my list to plqn and film for July next week. But for highlight blocks. Clixk the plus. Type in highlight blocks. There is one possibility if it's not there for you. I'm not sure if it's available in the "original " canva, and I'm in the glow up beta.

@@TheCreatorClassroom I am using the Canva doc I was making with you at the same time. I click the + typed in "highlight block" enter. Then a message "sorry, we can't find any emojis for your search" Do i first need to click on magic write? I'm using canva pro team. Thank you so much! 🙏

It could be a bug. Or it could be not there for the original version. On May 23rd they open3d up the doors to the beta version. And unless you signed up for that. You are still using the old one. But highlight blocks are coming. I believe they are rolling it out slowly. Next time I'm at my computer I'll look at my account with the old version and see if I can get it there.

@@TheCreatorClassroom thanks so much! No I didn't sign up for the beta.

@Next_Level_You I'm 90% sure that's what is happening. But I'll check soon. You may receive an email asking if you want to join beta between now and the full Roll out.

Oooph that's HOT! Implementing lessons learned is so important.

I'm so glad you found it valuable. Thank you for the kind comment. Means a lot.

I'm so glad you found this helpful. It's relatively new, and I knew it would solve at least one person's pain point because it saved my bacon a time or two.

@@Meloyadina I recently tried Gemini a couple of times for some things. What I like about it is that it explains why it gives you the answer it gives you which I like that and the other thing is, I do like ChatGPT. I've looked at them more recently I've never really use them at all before, but I think they're great on getting ideas and then putting your own voice to it and, there may just be one or two words in there that stands out there like you know the light bulb goes on so it's definitely worth a try. I have to get used to formats things because it's so different from ChatGPT. But I think you'll like it 😉

I understand. I don't think there is. Although if on the last page you make the number where you want. Then copy and paste on page you want. It will pop up in right spot at least.
