Transcripts

1. Introduction: Tried the new AI features in Canva? They are incredibly powerful and still easy to use. These features will for sure, sweeper chart the way you design in Canva, pushing back the boundaries of what you can do. As they like to say, if you can dream it, you can create it. Canva is in AI an opportunity to bring them one step closer to achieving their mission of making design accessible to everyone. Ever since the success of their iconic one click background remover launched in 2019, they've been looking for ways to weave AI into most of their new features. And this vision fully came to life in 2023 with Canva rolling out their suite of AI powered features for designers, which they call the Magic Studio. Hi, I'm Ronnie Hermosa. I'm a Canva verified expert, and together with my wife, Diana, we run one of the largest YouTube channels dedicated to Canva. I was also fortunate to work at Canva for two years in Sydney, Australia. Today, I focus on teaching creators everything they can achieve with Canva, but also the latest AI tools. In this class, I am diving deep into Magic Studio, covering all the AI features Canva has to offer. The class includes the very last features Canva rolled out like the Impressive Dream lab powered by Leonardo AI. Which lets you generate stunning images with a prompt. We'll also learn how to edit and transform your images effortlessly with features like magic Grab, magic Edit, or Magic Eraser. These are really fun to use, and will make you feel like a magician. We'll learn how to use magic write, which is like Canvas version of Chat GPT. Explore magic size to reformat any design for multiple platforms and so much more. Have made this class easy to follow by dividing it into separate lectures, each focusing on a different AI feature. And, of course, I made sure to include practical examples for all of you creators. Let's get into it, shall we? 2. Dream Lab: Let's start this section about the AI features with what I consider the most impressive of them all. I'm talking about Canvas built in image generator, Dream lab. And the good news is that dream lab is available to all users. So free and paid. The only difference is that paid users will get much more credits to use each month than free users. Let's discover this awesome Dream lab should be a button that you see on your homepage right here, the bottom of everything else. So I'm going to click on that, and it leads me to this page right here with the title, What Image would you like to create today? Okay? So what I see here is a new image generation tool, and we know that the engine behind Dream lab, what powers it is Leonardo. So this is the result of the integration between Canva and Leonardo AI. First cross feature that they have developed. So, it says, describe the image in a few words. Okay? So they want you to prompt to generate an image. It says a few words, but I would probably take that with a grain of salt. See, I have given Dream lab a good spin. I tested it for you guys, and my first intuition is that it works best when we write deeper prompts, more detailed prompts. So it's not exactly a few words. Kind of want to come back to that after we experiment. Okay, so star inspired with a few of these ideas. So here we have a bunch of images that have been generated by this new AI tool. So let's click on one. The one that intrigues me right away is this one because it generated text. So can Dream lab correctly generate text? If it does, that would be a major game changer for me because not many text to image generator does a good job at handling text. So let's have a look. If I click on the image, nothing happens, but if I click on Hughes button right there, use, then we can see the entire see what I was telling you when they said describe in a few words, this is not a few words. This is kind of like a solid, elaborated prompt. Not going to read everything, but going to start reading to see the kind of level of details here, a crisp, high contrast professional photograph showcasing multiple vibrant balloons, each prominently displaying a different language, greeting. Hello, in bold, cursive English script, or in stylized, red Spanish letter, et cetera. So it's actually quite detailed, right? So that is one of the prompts. This one right here. Let's try another one. This one with the cosmonaut waiting on the moon. Again, quite a long, robust prompt right here. Whimsical digital illustration of a cartoonish astronaut delicately rendered in soft pastoral hues, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. We can see that we will need to get quite precise with Dream lab. That's one thing. So I want to give this a spin. I want to test it with you guys. So what I've done here, let me quickly switch here to my chat GPT window. I have asked Cha GPT to help me improve my prompts so that I can generate the best images with Leonardo AI. I'm not completely sure this is using the Leonardo AI technology, but that's a fair guess. So what I'm going to do is to simply select my first prompt right here, you see, it's pretty long. Come back to Dreamlab and I'm just going to paste it right here, right? So a friendly, white, manikin Chinese good look cat with a soft gentle expression, holding one paw in a welcoming gesture on the cat like this. The cat is designed in a playful and vibrant style of Pixar animation with large expressive eyes and smooth rounded features. The background features colorful swirling patterns in bright pastel hues, creating a joyful and whimsical atmosphere. Soft lighting gives the scene a warm, magical glow. I'm not exactly sure if this prompt will be accepted by Canva because it uses a reference to Pixar. So there you lots of people are using Dream lab right now. Please try again in a few minutes. I received this error message because I was using this reference to a set of copyrighted or protected by the brand name Pixar. So let's get rid of Pixar in the vibrant style of Pixar animation. Let's replace Pixar by three D, and I wanted to show you this kind of process of mine, trying the Pixar prom and it's not working and then replacing it because I was kind of stuck for a good 10 minutes before I understood this. So I want to save you that time and show you not to us A copy, write it material, brand name or reference name. Okay, so there you go. I have my Chinese cat, and these look good. I really like this one. So once you have generated your image, you can actually do several things. So you can click on this button to copy it. So you copy your image to your clipboard and then you can go somewhere and paste it. You can download it. Then you have this purple button right here to edit your photo. So this will open it in a Canva document of the aspect ratio you actually selected, and you can see in bigger format. This actually looks awesome. And then you have the three little dots men Okay. So you can create a design with this image. You can edit the image, can delete the image or report the image. Let's try create a design. This should let me choose any design. No, it doesn't. So this created design is the same as edit so far. Alright, this is cool. Let's try a second prompt. I want to try the hamster doing yoga. Okay, Hamster doing yoga. I'm going to change the style from vibrant to something else. Let's try pop art. Why not? Aspect ratio. Let's try a different one just for the fun of it. Let's go 16 by nine. I don't have a reference image so far, so I'm just going to go for this one. My Hamster doing yoga. Let's see. I like dream lab is. And, guys, I just want to remind you that dream lab is a pro feature with a premium, okay? So free users will be able to use it with 20 credits while paid users will have 500 credits that will refresh every month on the first of the month. I thought it would be important for you to keep that in mind. So here we go. I have some cool images. I like this one right here. It's more like how you call this? So this is yoga, but this is more like break dancing to me. I like this one, but I like this one better, I guess. I'm going to open it so you can see it full screen. This looks really cool, actually. I like the style. I like the sticker effect around the hamster. Okay. And now let's give it the real try and see how it dealt with the letters, with the sentence in it. So it's this one. You design your life, go to paste the long prompt. I think there is any reference to any copyrighted material, so this is a poster. So I'm going to put this in poster mode three by four. So I'm going to add the image for the reference, the style reference. And when you do, you can select this from different things. You can upload your image, which is what I'm going to do. You can select it from your images that you have uploaded into Canva, into your Canva account. So I'm not going to do this for now. Last option that you had here is to select it from your recent generation. So you could select one of the recently generated images with Dream lab to be the reference. Me, I'm going to upload an image, and this image will be right here on my desktop. Let me show you. So this is a reference of the type of letters that I would love to see generated. So I'm just going to upload this image. There you go. It's here together with my prompt. Like, create. Oh, I forgot to change the pop art right here. So I guess it's going to be in the pop art reference style. Let's see. Probably should have set this to none. But you see here what's coming up is pretty darn good. This one, right here, this is pretty good, in my opinion. Design your life. I mean, the letters could be more stylized, but this is quite good. It recognized my reference image, maybe a little bit too much. So maybe let's delete this one and change the style from pop art to something else. Let's see. Creative create again. Design your life. This is correctly written, design your life also correctly written, though the G is a bit weird. But these are pretty good. I had one last prompt. So for this one, I want to try something different. I want to do a side by side comparison of the simple prompt. So I'm going to paste the simple prompt first. So this one, a hyperrealistic photo portrait of an Indian woman dressed in colorful say, and then I will paste the improved prompt from Chachi PT. So this one is going to be portrait. So this is the right aspect ratio, creative. Yeah, let's go for cinematic and prompt this. And once this is done, I will try with the more elaborate prompt to see if it makes any difference. We can still see it's not a photo. We can still see this is AI generated. Now, let's try the more detailed prompt, paste it right here, generate that. Again, with the same settings, see if it makes any difference. So there you go. I wouldn't say it makes a ton of difference. Generally speaking, I like this better. It's pretty much the same lady all over, like on these eight photos, we could say, it's the same woman. Now, in terms of quality, I don't think there is a huge upgrade because my prompt was more elaborate. As you can see, my initial theory is not completely confirmed here, guys. Like, you don't particularly need to input more elaborated prompts. And that is probably due to the fact that dream lab will automatically improve your prompt or embellish your prompt when you input it on the window. Alright, guys, that's all I have for you about dream lab. I highly recommend you try it because this is next level stuff. 3. Magic Design: Magic design could be a lifesaver if you don't know where to start your design. It will whip up a social media post, a presentation, or even a video based on the media you upload or a simple text prompt. Let's have a look. So the main idea behind magic design is to help you start your designs faster. And to do so, it will let you in different ways, input a text prompt to start generate to start populate a custom template with or without your own media. I would like you to know that magic design is a paid feature with a premium version, means that free users will get ten credits to try magic design. So these ten credits, these ten free tries are a one time premium. So that means for the entire lifetime of you using Canva. Also, be aware that the ten free tries are across all the different versions of magic design, including the global search, but also magic design for presentations or magic design for video. All of them, you have ten tries lifetime as a free user. After you consume these ten free tries, you won't be able to use magic design anymore unless you upgrade to a paid plan. So that is a kind of a pro plan or Canva for Teams plan. Okay? Also, be aware that magic design works with all design types. So it works with all the document types, and there are different ways you can access magic design either via the homepage or via the editor. So from the homepage, there are two ways you can actually trigger magic design. The first one being via the search bar. I am here in one of my paid account. This is a Canva row account, and I want to show you how to use magic design. So from the search box right here, I'm going to paste a prompt, Instagram carousel about popular beaches in Spain. Go to make sure I click on Canva template, and then I'm going to hit Enter to run this prompt. So what you'll see here on top of your screen is magic design, loading, preparing the few different templates it's going to set up for you. You see a mixed bag of results and document types, not only an Instagram carousel, though I specified in my prompt that I wanted an Instagram carousel. The reason why that is is because I didn't start from an Instagram post. I started from the search bar, and Canva doesn't yet recognize every single word in this prompt. So it's not yet able to just filter out only the Instagram post based on the prompt if I start from the homepage. Now, let me show you the other way to use magic design still from the homepage. So you have to locate the upload or add media button right here. Choose your media. Okay? So me, it's on my desktop, this photo right here. So this is a photo of the beach in Barcelona, Barceloneta. So in order to use magic design, you see this logo. This is the logo of magic design. It represents a template with some magic sparks. You click on add to a template, Canva is going to offer you a variety of design types. So you see YouTube Temnil Facebook cover story using that photo. So it's basically going to invent a few templates based on your photo, and you can complement that with a prompt. You see, there is a little star right here. So if I come back with my prompt for the popular beaches, Instagram carousel about popular beaches in Spain and hit Enter, it should be using my media. You see my media is still loaded here and give me some appropriate copy for this specific request. Still, it doesn't nail the document type. It's not an Instagram post. Like, not all of them are Instagram posts. Some of them are, you see, this one is, though it's probably not a carusee. It has a single page, but we are getting closer. Okay? We are getting closer. We have added our custom media. So these are the two different ways you can trigger magic design from the homepage. The first one is to start with a prompt via the search bar. The second one is to start by uploading a media, photo or video and then complement that media with but it doesn't give you exactly the document size, the document type that you are prompting for. Now, let me show you maybe a better way to do so to always get the right document type. All right. So from within the editor, your starting point will be the design tab. So the way I'm going to do this is to start a design, okay? So I'm going to be using the same prompt. So I'm going to go for Instagram post. Okay, so I chose social media. Instagram post will be the first one right here. Going to generate a blank document. Let me zoom out slightly. Okay. And then what you want is to find the design tab right here. So click on it, and then use the search box right here, paste your prompt. So my prompt is still the same Instagram Carusel about popular beaches in Spain. I'm going to hit Enter, and magic Design is going to be working right here. See there's something going on. There you go. Magic Design. Gives me some two uptrends right here, but I can click on S or to see more. All right. So once you do so, discover the beauty of Spain, discover the best beaches in Spain, Beach perdaEplore the best Spanish beaches, top Spanish beaches. So this one is actually a carousel. I have six pages. I'm going to click on this one to preview. Okay? So popular beaches in Spain, okay, I have my six pages. It's not the best template ever from what I can see, but it did work. Like, I have my different pages. I have generated some copy that is kind of makes sense, right? And also Canva has preloaded some photos that are also appropriate. This is definitely a beach in Spain. You can see the amount of tourists. Okay, so let me come back here and show you can get back one more step. And if you scroll down, so Instagram caruse about popular beaches in Spain, you can scroll down to see the other templates. But these, if you scroll down like all results, they are not generated by magic design. Magic design section will always display on top of your search result right. So it's really up to you. You can find some really cool templates. Like, for example, this one, beaches to visit in the Philippines. I have four pages. So this could make a great template as well. Just need to change the word Philippine for Spain and then add the different photos, but that is not magic design. What I wanted to show you really was the power of magic design to easily come up with a template that still makes sense. Obviously, you still need to put your own photos, make it on brand, adjust the text, but it creates documents that already kind of make sense to your project. One thing you need to know is that magic design is still a technology that is under construction. It's something that is constantly getting better day after day at Canva. So it might not be great or the greatest as of today, but I can assure you that they are working hard on this. And eventually, it has a lot of potential to really come up with, like, perfect templates for your custom prompts. I think once we definitely get there, it will be a very powerful feature. Gone are the days where you had to start your presentation from scratch. Now, let me show you how to use magic design for presentation to really speed up your workflow when designing presentation. I'm here in the editor in a presentation document. You can click on file. You see this is a presentation. Blank presentation. So in order to start my magic design project, I am already in the right document type presentation. I'm going to head over the design tab right here and just simply paste my prompt. And the prompt is the following. An onboarding plan for our new designer, Diana. Okay? So I would like Magic design to put together an onboarding plan for a new person that will join our team, a designer called Diana. Let's run this prompt and see what magic design comes up with. Okay? So immediately, you see some boarding plan, like, I would say regular template for Canva, but magic design is still working here. It's working hard. So let's see them all. Again, I have eight different results here. Seven pages, seven pages. They're all there's eight pages. Yeah. So eight pages and seven pages. That is on average what you will get with magic design. Around seven pages. I figured that was the average, the default, sometimes one or two pages more, but really rarely. So you can just start looking at the images, though most of the images will be swapped. I am intrigued by this one right here, so let's have a look. So you see here all of the pages. I'm going to apply them to my presentation, and we can go through them together to judge their quality, the quality of the template that's being generated. Onboarding Dianna. Welcome to the design team. Okay? That is pretty cool. Next, we have page for introducing Diana Diana Smith. So we need to adjust that a photo of Diana excited to have you. The table of content onboarding plan for Diana, introduction, team collaboration tips, design tools, overview, project expectation, company culture insights. Sounds pretty cool. And then we have a page for each of these points, each of these topics, which is a pretty good start, I would say, for an onboarding document. Now, once I have that, I can come back. Can have a look at the other pages, the other templates that have been generated with magic design. And this is pretty cool. Now, I can see here I have two more buttons that I can use with magic design. For example, media. So I could select different file like different photos that I have or even videos that I want to include in my document here. So let's see if I have a photo of Diana right here immediately available, or I could choose a file. Okay, so I'm going to go to my documents to visuals, photo ops, not Isp, but photos of Diana. What do I have here? Do I have photos of Diana that are pretty good? Okay, that's not photo. Yeah, this is pretty cool. Designer, something that will represent the designer. So this is when Diana received her YouTube trophy. Okay, let's use one. Doesn't matter if it's not exactly the context of the job here. Just want you to see what it looks like when we insert your own media into magic design right here. So it is loading. I guess all of the different templates will be kind of redesigned. So I'm going to come back to this one right here and apply the seven pages. So now the first page will carry Diana's photo. So this is how you can easily add your different media. And I could have added more than one media, I guess. I can also make this on brand. So if I want, for example, to give it a specific brand identity, you see here, I have my different brand kits, let's use this one. This one was actually designed for a specific course. Yeah, this is nice. So now, again, I need to start from one of these plans, one of these onboarding plans, apply to all pages. It will be added. The colors will be changed and swapped in my design. So it's now already looking pretty much on brand if this were my brand colors. I have photos of Diana, so I could work with this. I could really work with this and continue building my template. Something else you could do from here is to just hit the back arrow and see, like the conventional templates. You see this one are a bit more robust. It has like 18 pages you could easily mix and match some of these templates. So for example, if you want to add a page, page number eight and you find, this one is really cool, meet your teammates, but you want to make this one on brand, like the rest of the documents. So that is definitely something you could do by going to your brand right here and choose a different brand kit. You see learn with Ronnie. So that is the brand kit I selected. And you see this color palette right here. So I can click here to shuffle the colors. So you see the colors have been adapted to match the rest of my so pretty cool. This is what I wanted to show you magic design used directly from the editor. Alright, let me show you something else. I'm going to try another prompt, a more precise prompt with a specific number of pages and see if magic design can understand that requirement, that extra guideline that I'm giving it. Okay? So again, I'm going to start from the design tab, the search box right here in the little magic. And my prompt is the following a ten page presentation about octopuses in Australia. Okay. So the difference here is that I have specified the number of pages. You see here ten page presentations. Now, is Canvas Magic Design going to respect that extra guideline and give me the actual ten pages for my presentation? Well, let's find out. No, run the prompt. You see magic design is already searching. I already have some regular templates about wildlife in Australia, right? So that is always good. I will be able to mix and match later on. Okay, I have my designs right here, but as I expected, these designs, these presentations are about octopuses in Australia. Don't get me wrong. I picked up right, but they are seven pages, not ten pages. So my impression here is that this is a really good tool, but there is still work to do. There's still some way to go for it to be that perfect AI assistant to really help me create any design and really nail these designs, these templates that are being generated. I want to show you that this text is actually pretty good. Let's use this one, for example, apply all seven pages. Going to reduce the zoom level a little bit. Octopuses in Australia, explore the fascinating world of octopuses, exploring Australia's fascinating octopuses species. Okay, exploring. Okay, so it's a little bit repetitive octopus population trend in Australia. So we have a graph here. Not really sure what it means. Exploring Australian octopuses species diversity, octopus population distribution in Australia. So that if you have different breeds or variety of octopuses, you could do that. And a quote from Jacques Custa. The octopus is a fascinating creature of the sea. Okay, so it's all about being fascinating. Let's find another one. See if the copy is a little bit better. Let's try this one right here. So apply all seven pages. Life Underwater wonders exploring Australia's octopus. Okay, overview, intelligent marine creatures. Octopuses are highly intelligent and adaptable animals, unique camouflage abilities. They can change color and texture for concealment, fascinating reproductive habits, mating and nesting behaviors are particularly intriguing. So this is already much more content being provided here. Okay? Exploring Australia's fascinating octopuses, again, but there are some good photos right here that probably come from the Canva library. Octopuses are the ultimate masters of these guys in the underwater world. I would say, this is not perfect yet, but we are almost there. I mean, this is great already in terms of putting together, whipping up a base presentation that I will be continuing, obviously. I will be adding slides, I will be changing the content. And you will see, there are other tools that will help me come up with more content, more written content. That makes sense. But that's for another lecture. Magic design also works with video. And actually, this is probably the most impressive use case for magic design. It allows you to generate short videos like stories, TikToks, or highlights based on your own videos and photo content. And you can use it either from your phone, which is super convenient because this is where you keep and take most of your photos and videos. But also, you can use it from your desktop. Let me show you how so this is my camera role in my iPhone, and these are the photos from the day of the event Canva Create 2024 in Madrid. So what I'm going to do is to select all of these photos and send that to my computer. The reason why I'm not showing you how to do it from the phone is a simple, practical reason is that the phone screen is much smaller, and I would like you to have the full experience. So that's why I'm going to go through this extra step of sending all of this material to my computer first, then it will arrive here and I can show you how to do the prom, how to generate the magic write template from the computer. You see all the photo arrived. They're right here in my download. So now I can actually show you how to start this document from my desktop. Okay, so from the homepage, what I'm going to do is to start a video document, okay? So click on the video icon right here, and I'm going to go with a vertical video, a mobile video. So I'm going to click here. This will open a brand new fresh blank vertical video document. And if you pay attention, you will by default, land on the design tab, and right here is a big tile prompting me to generate videos instantly. That is magic design for videos. So I'm going to click here to show you what the actual workflow looks like, okay? So I can select ten videos, okay? So ten media, not just videos. It could be videos or photos. Me, I'm not going to select from the upload right here. I'm going to upload some new ones. Okay. So going back to my download right here, I believe these are all the photos, yes. So these are the photos and some videos. Going to make sure I grab all the four videos. I can upload up to ten. Okay? So that's four, five, six, seven, eight. I want to make sure nine, ten. Okay. I've been selecting a little bit blindly. If you want to see more, you could go click on icons. Yeah. So I wanted to make sure I have this one we go S, this one, yes, the videos, photo, could be useful as well, but I would like to have Yeah, no, it's good. They are right here. Okay, so I have my ten media. I'm going to upload them. You see, it's going to be pretty quick. That will depend on your Internet connection as well. So you upload your media, and then you have to describe the kind of video you want. Okay? We'll use this to generate a design. So I do have a prompt that I thought of. I'm going to paste it here, okay, paste. It goes like this, a story about the Canva community event in so it's still uploading. So I would recommend you wait until all of your fives, particularly the video, I will take slightly longer to upload. But I recommend you wait until this button changes. The status of this button changes. So it means all your media is uploaded. So there you go. You see the button change to generate. I have my prompt. Okay, a story about the Kanva community event in Madrid. I have all of my media. Now let's go and generate our video with magic media for video. And there you go. I have video right here, which is 34 seconds, okay? It added my logo on page 11, which I'm not sure I will keep, but I'm very curious. I'm going to bump up the volume, not too high, but I'm going to play this video and discover it together with you guys. Alright, so there is some good and some bad right here. I wish it had taken a bit more of my videos versus photos. Also, some photos have been repeated several times, but that is probably my fault because I selected all the photos without really minding the duplicates, so I should have deleted this one and this one they look too much the same. So I should have deleted it. And also, one thing I would love is to change the position of these text boxes, but that is very easy. I can simply select all of the elements, the ingredients and move them. So they are not in the way when we are discovering them. For example, that was the case here, for example, here, could probably move the text there are some slight adjustments. You can change the music as well. Like, for example, I will probably swap this one right here, so I could go to my uploads actually and drop another photo right here, another video. Let's see which one. Video. Yeah, I could probably add a little piece of video. Like so and adjust the size of the video, and then you can select, obviously the right passage. I'm going to push this to the back. Let's find this passage where Diana takes a photo of her friend right here. And yeah, I think this is pretty good. Like, maybe we can move this textbox as well with the little spark right. See you can easily adjust, but Canva has created I'm going to delete the logo as well. Canva has created a fun little video, like a 32nd video based on some photos and videos that you uploaded. I mean, I'm not saying this is the video of the year, but it understands it cut my video. I selected several moments. I added some text generated by AI. I would say this is at least 50% of the work done because now all I have to do is to adjust instead of conceptualize and create. So for me, this is still a success. I still believe magic design has a long way to go to be fully operational. But yeah, I'm very happy about this feature, and I'm glad I got to demonstrate it to you guys. 4. Magic Write: Think of Magic write as the Chan chi PT of Canva. It's an AI powered writing assistant. As a matter of fact, Canva tells us that it's actually powered by Open AI. So how does it work? Well, you can give Magic write a prompt and it will write copy for you. You can use it when you feel stuck with your copy. Simply ask Magic write for a list or an outline to use as a starting point. And you can also use it to synthesize or to change the tone of a piece of text. I'll show you how to achieve all of that in this lecture. But before we start, I want you to know that magic write is a paid feature. It's available across all design types and also both on mobile and desktop, but free users won't be able to use that feature. Alright, so let me get back to this onboarding plan for Diana. I'm going to open this presentation one more time, reduce the zoom level right here. And what I'm going to do is to simply add a page to this presentation. Gonna be first page right here. I'm going to keep it white, and I'm going to prompt magic write. So in order to call magic write, you have to locate this little quick action button right here. So click on it, and then magic write should be the first Again, it is a pro feature. So if you're not a paid, meaning Canva Pro Canva teams, you won't have access to magic write, unfortunately. So once you do, you can open it up like so and start your prompt. Me in my case, I'm going to prompt the following. Propose an effective structure for an onboarding document for a new hire called Diana, who is joining us as our new graphic designer. So I would like magic write to give me a more robust structure for this document for this boarding plan than what I found on the template right here. Okay? Remember, this template was generated by magic design so I'm just going to generate this. You have a few options right here. If you click on the drop down arrow, you can use the default voice, which is magic write default, which should be ticked by default. Or if you do have a brand voice already set up in your brankit, you will see it will appear here and you can use that branded voice, that brand voice you've set up. I haven't yet in this account. So you see, create a new voice, so I could do that, I will do that later in the lecture to show you. For now, I'm going to keep the default magic voice. Going to generate this. Magic Wright is going to propose a structure for my onboarding document. There you go. So I have nine sections right here. So I'm going to start reading an effective onboarding document for Diana, our new graphic designer should be structured to provide a comprehensive, welcoming and informative introduction to the company, her role and the resources available to her. Here is a proposed structure. Okay? Number one, welcome message. Number two, companies overview, number three, team introduction, for role specific information, five administrative details, six tools and resources, seven training and development, eight, first week agenda, nine, contact information. This structure ensures that Diana is welcomed, informed, and equipped to start her new role successfully. That is a solid structure for an onboarding document. So I'm really happy about this. So from here, you have a couple of options. First, you could copy this text. Okay, copy it to your clipboard. You see, click on that little button and it will be copied to your clipboard. You could retry. If you're not satisfied with the answer provided by Magic write, you can retry. Purple button, you can insert that to your design, which I recommend you do because if you click away from this, if I click on the page here, I'm going to lose everything. Hopefully, you have clicked on the copy button before you click away because otherwise, you simply lose everything and you have to prompt again. So that is something I don't like about magic right that the user flow is kind of like wonky in that manner. So make sure you copy the text at least or insert it your design to your page. When you do insert it, it will insert everything, including the beginning and the end. So usually at the beginning and the end, you have kind of some context around the content that ce. There you go. So my structure here, my nine sections, that could be nine different pages in this document. So I could adjust what I already had on my template or I could mix and match really up to me. But I'm not starting my presentation from scratch. I'm actually starting with a very detailed and robust structure. So I'm very happy about this first try, this first example of how to use magic let's try something else. I am here in an IG post document. I'm going to call magic. This time I have another prompt, give me five tips to create better hooks for my TikTok videos. Let's imagine I want to create a LinkedIn or a Facebook or an IG carousel in a square format, five pages. I would like to give my audience five tips on how to create better hooks for TikTok videos. So, click on Generate, see how good Canvas Magic write is in terms of content creation. Does it know what TikTok is? Does it know what a good hook is made out of? I have my answer. I'm going to insert that into my page again, in a matter of not losing it. I can bump the size slightly. Let's go 20. Yep, 20 sounds good. Okay, let me read everything out loud. Creating compelling hooks for your TikTok videos is essential to capture viewers attention within the first few seconds, indeed. Here are five tips to help you create better hooks. Okay. So I'm going to delete that first part and just keep the five tip. The similarly, at the end of my answer, I have a wrapping up sentence. By implementing these strategies, you can craft hooks that captivate your audience and keep them engaged throughout your TikTok videos. I'm going to cut that as well. I just want to focus on the five tips. Let me arrange the text right here, my document. Number one, start with a bold statement or question that is indeed a well known strategy. Number two, use engaging visuals. Leverage emotional appeal, tap into emotions, by sharing something relatable, funny, or touching. Okay. Create a sense of urgency phrases like wait for it or you won't believe what happens next. And then five, use trending sounds and hash tags. Incorporate popular sound and hash tag relevant to your content. Alright, so again, I think magic Ride passed this second test. Alright, I have one last test for magic rite. You see, I am opening a restaurant right here in Barcelona. It's my specialty is delicious egg sandwiches. All right. So kind of new name for my new restaurant. So yeah, I'm kind of lazy, and I would like to start brainstorming with the rest of my team, but I don't want to come empty handed. I would like to come to the meeting with a bunch of name suggestions that I could show them. I've worked really hard to generate these oh, again, magic ride to the rescue. I don't want to start from scratch. So again, I'm going to go find magic ride right here, and my prompt is going to be the following. Suggest some good names for a restaurant in Barcelona, selling delicious egg sandwiches. Okay, so generate. Sure. Here are some creative and appealing names for a restaurant in Barcelona that specializes in delicious egg sandwiches. So I have ten egg excellent Barcelona. Okay, a ever. Webo in Spanish means eggs or verla. Good name. Extravaganza. I like this one. Extravaganza, is pretty cool. Bocado de oro. Okay, Bocado means sandwich. Oro means gold, like gold sandwich. Okay. And nconvo the egg corner, Sunnyside cafe. You can roll. Okay. You can roll. Not bad. WevosEms, sabroso sandwiches. Eh, Barcelona Egg Bistro. So from all of these, I believe extravaganza is actually cool. So I'm just going to copy this one right here. Number three, come to my template here and just paste my name Extravaganza. Alright, so I can just do so. And now I have a name. I could have copied the whole list and then, like, brainstorm with my team, vote with them, which one is the best one. But again, I believe Magic Wright did a really good job at getting me a head start with my brainstorming, in this case. Again, pass the test, in my opinion. Okay, so it seems like Magic Write is the perfect assistant to help you overcome writer's block. It will get you started on any type of documents, whether you need a first draft, an outline or a list of ideas. But what else can it do? Something else that magic write is great at is text editing. So let me show you starting from this Instagram carousel example. I have a template. I'm gonna be using a template. So this one right here has five pages. Okay, how to connect with your audience using social media. I'm going to apply these five pages to my document. You see, I have a little bit of text on each page, which is reduce the size slightly. So what I want to show you is that magic write is great for editing existing text. Okay, so let's see, starting with the first page right here, using social media to connect with your audience. I think this is a really good first page. It's kind of intriguing, it's catchy, so I'm not going to mess with this one, but the second one right here agenda, create personalized content. Tell tales of the difference you've made to locals, workers, and members of your community. Try to change this text right here. So in order to do so with magic write, you will need to select your textbook, and then you should see magic write right here. So I'm going to click on it. And magic write gives me a series of actions I can take. So I want to go through these different actions together with you. So the first thing I can do is to create a summary. This is not a very long piece of text, so I don't think I need to create a summary of this. I could show that feature to you with a longer piece of text, but I feel like this one is not relevant. It's not relevant for a carousel. This would be relevant if you had, like, a long document, and you need to create a summary or you have a transcript of a phone call, for example. So create a summary would be great for that. Continue writing could be an interesting one for our little sentence right here. I want you to elaborate basically that's what continue writing stands for. So I'm going to click on Continue writing, and Magic write should continue this text right here. So I'm going to command see that, create a new page and paste my box here. I want to read this probably need to reduce its size. Let's go 30. See, it's pretty long. I got a long bit of text right here. There you go. So from this textbook, tell tales of the difference you've made to locers, workers, and members of your community. Okay, which is the first sentence right here, I have one, two, three, four additional paragraphs that have been generated from this one single sentence, and it all makes sense. You could go ahead, pause the video and read the entire blocks, these four blocks of text right here, and you will see that they make sense. They kind of illustrate what the first sentence meant right here. That is continue Writing. Let me move on to slide number five right here, make places for viewers engagement. So use pos, Q&As, quizzes, and other interactive elements to keep your audience interested. Let's use Magic write to shorten this sentence. So let's see how much shorter we can make that. It's going to automatically replace your text. So if you don't want that to happen, make sure you make a copy. This one is not particularly much smaller. To engage your audience, incorporate interactive elements like pore, Q&As, and quizzes, go back to the original, it's about the same size. So I would say not completely convinced here. Rewrite. Okay, rewrite. Without specifying rewrite in which different way, I'm curious to see. Incorporate pore, Q&As, quizzes, and other engaging elements to maintain your audience's interest. That's Command Z. Okay, so it's basically rephrasing. Then we have more fun. This one is cool because it adds a little bit of personality to your text. Let's try it. Keep your audience hooked with pores, Q&As, quizzes, and other fun interactive goodies. You see? So it's a bit more fun, indeed. Like, fun is the right word here. What else can I do? Okay, so more formal. Okay? So that would be the opposite of more fun. Sprinkle fairy dust. I'm not sure what this one means. I've tried it before, but it's using kind of canvas tone of voice. Let's try it. So there you go. Chant your audience with pas Q&As, quizzes, and other delightful interactive mar so yeah, we go into a different universe here, kind of like the fairy tale, the wizardry, kind of like this magical type of universe in terms of writing style. It's not completely for me. This one, I have to admit it doesn't really resonate with me. But it's okay because we have change voice right here, which is a very cool feature. I'm going to review this a bit later in this lecture. So I'm going to skip it for now. Fix spelling. This one is cool. Let's say there are some mistakes here. I'm going to add some mistakes. Okay? So enchant your audience with P, Q, and As, quizzes, and other delightful interactive marvels. All right. So this has a couple of typos. I'm going to go and use magic write to fix them. I say, fix the spelling, enchant your audience. Okay? So you got this one Oops. I got this one in ancient quizzes Z, A did for interactive Marvel. So, yeah, it did fix the entire spelling. So pretty happy about that as well. Last thing you can do is to write a custom prompt. So if you do click on Custom prompt, it will open that box, ask you what is the prompt. So you could say, for example, translate that sentence into only Imoges and see what happens. There you go. So we have only Emoji sentence right here. You can add it below this textbox, which is a good option instead of replacing it, or you can replace TwyU to you. I'm going to replace it, and there you go. Now, I have the sentence that was right here, engage your audience with pause, et cetera, et cetera, only written in Im. Very useful. I would admit to that, but, I mean, you can prompt whatever you want here, and that's really what makes it powerful in terms of writing assistant. Now, you might be wondering if magic write works in your language, which might be different from English. Well, to find that answer, I invite you to visit Canva's dedicated landing page for Magic write, and I will leave a direct link to this page in the lecture's description. So if you scroll all the way down, you'll find an F section at the bottom of the page. And within that FX section, the answer to the language question. So here is your answer to that question. What languages does magic write work in? So magic write currently works with 20 languages. The languages supported as of March 22, 2023 are English, Spanish, Portuguese, Indonesian, French, Thai, Italian, Russian, Arabic, Japanese, Turkish, German, Vietnamese, Chinese, Polish, Dutch, Korean, Czech, Romanian, May and Tagalog texts. Alright. So here is your answer, and I believe Canada will keep adding more language to this list. So yeah, keep an eye on this landing page. More recently, Canva has added some personalization options to magic write. It's now easier than ever to produce on brand copy. That is, if you've set up your brand voice, let me show you. So in order to customize the voice of magic write to add your brand voice, you can do so in two different places in Canva, but if you are already in the editor, I suggest you open magic write the normal and instead of prompting directly, use the little drop down arrow right here next to magic right. Okay? So from here, you can create a new voice. There's also a direct button here, add a voice. So this is where we are going to click, create a new voice. So two different ways of doing so here, from inside the editor, what Canva will suggest you to do is to paste a sample text. So you can grab a piece of text up to 3,750 characters and paste it here. And then Canvas AI is going to analyze that text. And describe the tone of voice. That would be your tone of voice or the voice you're trying to create. Okay? So that is cool. I'm going to use a piece of this course, okay? So Canva Master course. Let's find a lecture at the beginning. Alright, so let's grab some sample text from Lecture 1.3. Canva is changing, and so is this course. I'm going to grab all of this paragraph and the first point right here. Command C, and and come back to this dialogue box right here. Add sample text here. I'm going to paste that right here, 2,254 characters. So we should be good. Let's see. Let's analyze the voice. And there you go. I have the description of my voice right here. Your writing is informative and engaging. Blending professionalism with a friendly tone and employs clear language and structured sentences to present complex ideas effectively, rhetorical questions and lists enhance the reader's understanding and maintain interest while fostering inclusivity by addressing the audience's needs. I think this is a pretty decent description of my teaching voice. It's quite elaborate the description of my voice. I'm going to save that. And now you see, I have a custom voice. I can use the drop down arrow. I have magic write, the default, and I have my custom voice. So I could probably edit that tone of voice. You were editing this voice. Yeah, custom voice. I could come here and change the name custom voice for Ronnie's coarse tone. Ronnie's coarse tone, save. Save that. Okay. Now I can generate some text and employ that same tone of voice, like Ronnie course teaching tone. So that is pretty cool. Something else that's even cooler than generate a brand voice is to generate a multitude of different voices because you might want to have other voices for some other projects, not just teaching projects. So a person like a content creator like myself, could have different tones of voice when we are teaching courses, when we are creating Q&As, when we are writing or delivering a keynote presentation, all of these different activities could carry a different tone of. So if you want to add more voices, just simply come back to the dropdown arrow and create a new voice, and you can go through the same process. Again, now, let me show you a different way to add a different brand voice. So this one would go through your brand kit. So if you click on brand right here, you see brand templates. So first, you need to select one of your brand kits. Okay? So here, let's go for Ronnie's brand kit. Select that And you see here where it says brand voice, I'm going to click here on CO. I have already added a brand voice here. It's different from the one I added that was generated with the help of Canva. And this one goes like this. Our voice is informative, enthusiastic and friendly. We use simple and accessible vocabulary, ensuring that the content is clear and engaging for a broad audience. Educators and address our students directly using you. We use a touch of excitement through casual language, occasional use of exclamation points, and our tone remains friendly and approachable, giving the reader a sense of trust and reliability. Our tone reflects our expertise of the subjects we teach. This is the brand voice that I have saved in my brand kit. Okay? So if I go back to the Canva homepage, for example, and come to brand right here, go to Brand kits, select the same Bandkit Ronnie's Bandkit, you will see that right here in the brand voice section, you will find the text that I just read, okay? So I believe you have, yes, 500 characters to describe your tone of suggest you use as many as these 500 characters to give as many as much information as possible about the tone because the more Canva magic writes knows about this tone, the more information it gets about it, the more faithful it would be able to generate text in that specific tone. So these are the two ways you can create a new voice. The first one is by using magic write directly from within the editor. Remember, and then paste is sample text. Canva will analyze it, suggest a tone of voice. You can save that as your voice, but it will only be saved in that document. Once you get out of it, I believe it's not going to be there anymore. Let's do the test because I'm not completely sure about this. Let's create a new document. It doesn't matter, Instagram post. Let's use magic write from here. And let's see if Ronnie yeah, it is still here. So it's been saved under Magic rice. Not in my brankit, so I don't know exactly where this is stored, but it's definitely I can still use it here. So that's pretty cool. I can also use the one from my brankit. You see? So now I can choose Ronnie's Brankt the last one I read or Ronnie's coarse toone, which they are both pretty similar, to be honest. Alright, so I'm not leaving you guys without showing you what that custom voice sounds like and how it's different from the default magic write tone. And I'm going to use magic write with the following prompt. Okay? So the prompt is this one. Write a wrapping up sentence for my course lecture. The lecture give my students, you guys, a full tour of the magic write feature in Canva, the AI writing assist so, in order to do that and to clearly be able to compare the default voice, the magic write voice with my custom voice that I just set up, either the one on my brankt or the one that had been generated for me, I'm going to start by creating this sentence, like what I'm prompting here is the wrapping up sentence for my course lecture in the default voice. Okay, default generate. So this should be quite generic. Wait until it's fully written. There you go. It is now in my text, as we wrap up today's exciting journey through the magic write feature in Canva. Remember that this amazing tool is here to spark your creativity and make your writing process smoother and more fun. Keep exploring, experimenting and let magic write help you bring your ideas to Okay, this is not bad, but this is not me. So now I'm going to compare it, pasting the exact same prompt. But this time, I'm going to be using the voice from my brand kit, the one I read previously from Ronnie's Brand kit. Okay? So Ronnie's Brankit same prompt that's generated. Okay, it's already ready, and there you go. Now I can read it to you. And that's a wrap, everyone. You've now got a full tour of the magic write feature in Canva, and I can't wait to see how you use this amazing tool to unleash your creativity and enhance your projects. Keep exploring. Have fun. And remember, you've got the magic at your fingertips. 5. Resize, Magic Switch and Translate: The resize and magic switch features allow you to resize your design into multiple formats at once, and most importantly, to do so effortlessly. Now, this is a great timesaver. If you need to repurpose a piece of content you already created for another platform, for example, or if you are working on multichannel marketing campaigns, you design once and publish every you can also use Magic Switch to translate your design into another language. And here, again, everything is done pretty much in one click. You will find these features in the editor if and only if you are using a Canva Pro Canva Teams, Canva educational or non profit plan. So it's a paid feature only, and it's part of Magic Studio. Also note that resize Magic Switch and translate are available on both desktop and the mobile platforms. Now, let me show you how to use them. I am here in my Canva Pro account, and this is a presentation document. You see, seven pages in that presentation. It's pretty much a template that I have slightly customized with our own photos. Alright, so what I want to show you is how to use the resize feature to turn this presentation into something else. Let's say I need to promote these new workshops that we are going to deliver on social media. So we need social media post. So I'm going to be using the resize button to click on resize, and you should see a bunch of different things going on here. So first is the resize. Okay, so you will need to tell Canva what kind of document you wish to create starting from this presentation. So me, I need some social media content, okay so I'm going to click on social media right here. But I could search. I could search for Instagram, Facebook, Tik Tok, whatever I need from here in this search bar. But since they have a social media category, I'm going to click on that little arrow right here. I'm going to start with Instagram, okay? The first thing I need is an Instagram reel. Okay, so this is the format, 1080 by 1920 of the Instagram Reel. You see, I have selected that little document, right? That little checkbox for Instagram Reel. Next, I'm going to move over to Facebook, and I would like a Facebook post. Great. And because I'm planning on creating a video for YouTube, I also would like a YouTube Sanil. I'm going to search this time YouTube Sunil. There you go. YouTube Snail, 12 80 by 720. Okay, I'm going to check that box as well. And now you see here at the bottom, three sizes select for all my pages, for my seven pages. So I can click on that dropdown arrow to see the recap of my three documents, my three different document types that I wish to resize my presentation into. Also important to know, you can select which of the pages of your current documents. So this presentation you wish to resize. So in my case, I want the entire document to be resized. So I'm going to leave all pages, the little box for all pages checked right here. But just know that you can cherry pick which pages you wish to resize. Thing else I would like you to know is that you can also resize in a custom dimension. You see, I think there is option for custom dimensions somewhere here. You see brows by category. The first one right here is custom dimension. So you can manually enter the dimensions you wish to resize into. And don't forget to log the ratio if you need to maintain the same proportion for specific design. I'm not going to do this right now because I want to focus on these three social media let's go ahead and click Continue to see what happens next. So what happens next is that Canva will give me an overview of my three documents. So the first one is the Instagram real. Okay, so you see mobile video. This is page one out of seven. So you can see all the different pages that have been resized. So in different ways. So it's not always perfect, as you can see. So this one we could probably stretch and rearrange the layout of the page like they have done here. So this is much better, I would say than page number four here and page five. So sometimes you will have to manually go out there and rearrange a few things, like a few of the ingredient of your pages. And sometimes you would just nail it. So Facebook post. So, for example, this first page is perfect. This one as well. This one is almost perfect. Maybe the text could be a little bit bigger. This one is good, too. This one as well. So you see, for example, my Facebook post looks better than the mobile video. So the resizing was I would say, easier to do because we didn't have to go from a horizontal layout to a vertical layout, which makes things more complicated. So the thumbnail for YouTube should be great as well. And I'm going to focus on page one for my YouTube thumbnail. So once you're happy with what you see, even if you're not happy, you cannot really change anything from here, but you need to go ahead and resize these three designs. So click here, and the resizing is going to start. So a couple of important information that Canva will provide at this point, it tells you that the design has been copied, okay? So the original design has not been replaced, but they have made some copies and resize three designs. Okay? These three designs have been saved to a folder called earning her presentation, which is the name of my actual current document right here, earning her presentation. I like that Canva has organized these designs for me without me doing anything. So I can click on that document on that folder path right here to access this folder within my projects. You see I am under my projects, and Canva has created this folder right here with my three designs. And the previews are not yet generated. Maybe if I refresh, let me try to refresh. You take a few seconds probably, but these are your three designs. So let's open one. Let's open the more complicated one, the mobile video, and you what's going on here. So my content has been kind of smooshed in the middle. So if I was to rearrange this in a better way, I would probably move this down and move this one up and make this bigger. I would probably start working like so to just make it fit the entire page. And I would try to keep the same distance here as the distance here. That would be a much better layout. Going on on this page right here, I have my directory. This is not great. So what I could do here is probably take each of these, make sure they are at the center, and probably make them bigger. Like, so I will have this right here somewhere on top, probably aligned to this side, and then I will just start working on rearranging these tiles here to make the bigger and also more legible in a format. So I would probably have to duplicate this page and have my different ties here. So it really depends on how big or small you want to see these ties on your design, but you will have to go through a little bit of reorganizing of rescaling if not everything is perfect. Is almost perfect. I would just say to give this piece of text a little bit more space to breathe, something like this. But otherwise, this is pretty good. Like the upscale central. So I could go and make sure everything is within the safe zones. This one, a little bit problematic as well. I would probably have to push this one down like so and make my text bigger here to fill up the space here. Probably need to do something like so maybe make this text even bigger, and then I can create a bigger visual here, something like that, align it some you see, it's not too much work, but there will be a little bit of work, especially when you go from a horizontal kind of design to a vertical one. Now, let's have a look at the other documents from the other resize. This is the Facebook post. This one is much better. I almost have nothing to do here to resize or readjust. I believe this is yeah, good to go. Tucked under the same resize button, you'll find another feature called Translate. To find it, make sure to scroll all the way down when you are in the resize menu. Let's explore this feature. Alright, so we are going to translate this onboarding plan for Diana into Spanish to make her feel welcome in her native language. So for doing so, we are going to click on the Resize button and go all the way down to find Translate. Translate your design into another language. So I'm going to click that little arrow, select a language. So translate to I'm going to type in Spanish. But you'll see there is a bunch of different languages. So it's not only the 20 languages that work for magic right here, we're talking about hundreds of languages. So let me delete this so I can show you. You see all of these languages. I don't know if it's hundreds, but it's a great amount of languages. So again, I want some Spanish. There's no distinction between Spanish from Spain, from Colombia, from Argentina. So far, it's just Spanish. What you do have is a few options for the tone of voice. So which is optional. You could keep the original tone, which is what I'm going to do for this project. But you could go more professional, conversational, friendly, informative, or inspirational. Okay? So me, I'm going to keep it on original, the same tone as the English version right here. Next, you need to decide which page you want to translate. So me, I want to translate the whole thing, the eight different pages of my document. So I'm going to keep it like so. As you have an option to instead of making a copy of that presentation and translate that copy, you can replace the existing text in your design with your translation. In that case, you will want to check that box right here. Me, I'm fine with making a copy and having both my English version as the original and then the Spanish version as the copy I will be creating. So I'm not going to take that box. So I think everything is ready. Let's go ahead and translate. There you go. Copied and translated. So now I have another document right here called Onboarding Plan Diana Designer, same name, but in between parentheses, Spanish. I'm going to open that presentation and judge of the translation Bien Vitale io this is perfect, Ben venda qipodiana to Emocion tenerte Aordo. Okay? This is correct introduction diseno. Stamos and cantalo dee unas nest re quipo creativo, blah, la, la. So everything is good. Like onboarding, this one was on the photo, so the photos have not been translated. That would be next level stuff. Yeah, I think the translation like Ctevidaqreaje, see, Ben Vaquipo everything has been correctly on the introduction, maceno description. See, everything has been properly translated. I don't see any mistakes. And as you can see, the design has not moved too much like there is no real mistake or lines that are broken or too big of a text for my textbox. Everything is pretty much properly translated. And if it wasn't the case, you could always come back and use magic write to shorten, expand or just make sure the amount of text you get is pretty much the same as in the original documents. So you don't break your design. But here, I'm very satisfied about this translation. And now, if I come back to the homepage, I see that I have this presentation, this onboarding plan duplicated. The first one, the oldest one right the English version, the original version, and then I have another one, and you see when I hover over the title, it says Onboarding plan Diana Designer, Spanish. So this is the Spanish version. And the preview hasn't yet updated. You can still see the text in English right here, but when I click through, you can indeed see that my text has been translated to Spanish right here. So it has been correctly translated. Canva wants you to speed up your creative workflow. And this last feature I'm about to show you perfectly illustrates that. Now, let me come back to my learning hub presentation right here. So this is indeed a presentation. You see, presentation. I have seven slides. Again, this is the last thing I'm going to show you in this lecture. You can use the resize button to transform your presentation into a document. Or vice versa. If you're working with a document, you can transform that into a deck of slides or a presentation. So that would be the last option right here, transform into a doc. So I'm going to click on that little arrow right here. So transform into and then you have a search box where you can actually write whatever you are trying to transform this presentation into. Then you have a few ties right here with a little more button. Click on that to Explore to get some suggestions so how about we turn this presentation into a blog post. Okay? So a creative blog post. That sounds about right. So once you have selected an option, you can click on transform into a Doc. And you don't have to choose one of their presets right here. You could write your own, could be a poem, could be a song, could be whatever. You know, like a Facebook post. But I was pretty happy about a creative blog post, so let's go ahead and try this. Take a few seconds. And then you should see a message like this one with your document, which is ready. So upskill your potential, a journey of life long learning, I imagine. Okay. So you can click either on the title or on the button, doesn't matter. It will open your doc. So there you go. Upskilling your potential, a journey of life long learning. So there you go. Have all the photos. What I noticed is that it didn't port over my own photos. Okay, let me go back to the presentation and show you from the grid view right here, I only got the photos from page two and page six right here. Okay, which are the stock photos. My personal photos have not been included in this blog. It's okay. This is still a feature which is under construction, is bound to become better and better. What's interesting here and what I want you to realize is that we went from a set of seven slides to an actual blog post. If we look at this, we have a title, which has been optimized. It's a little bit catchy, upscale, your potential or journey of lifelong learning. And then we have kind of an introduction and then a few sections. Could format them using the h1h2 formatting right here. Yeah, you have accomplished kind of what was asked from the resize to turn this set of slides into a blog post. Obviously, they still work. There's still some formatting to do, but you have your base, which is pretty cool. Now, let me show you one final thing before we wrap up. Remember our onboarding plan for our new designer Diana? Well, let's write an email. Let's turn this presentation into an email that we will send to Okay. So to do so, just going to come to the resize button. Okay? All the way down, transform into a Doc. Okay, go to click here. And this time, I'm going to write an email to our creative team. Transform into an email to our creative team. Transform into Doc. Let's see if Canva and if the resize feature, the AI behind the resize feature understood what I meant by an email to our team. There you go. It seems like I have something an email with a subject line called welcome Dana to our creative team. Okay, let's click on this to see what it looks like. There you go. I'm going to quickly read the email subject. Welcome Diana to our creative team. Hi, team. I'm thrilled to announce that Diana has joined our creative team. Her exceptional talent and fresh perspective will be a fantastic addition to our projects. Here's a brief rundown of the boarding plan for Diana, Introduction meeting, design tools, project overview, training make Diana feel welcome and support her as she settles in. Your collaboration and teamwork will be key to her successful integration. And my name PS is a list of your new teammates role for your reference, and then we have the first names of the people in the team together with their current role. So yeah, that is pretty cool. I mean, I didn't give Canva much instruction here, and I came up with a pretty decent email that I can probably send almost as so I'm very happy about all of these experiments. Great work, guys. You now know everything there is to know about the resize and magic switch features. In the next lecture, we look at how Canva adds magic to animations. 6. Magic Animate: What used to take hours and required complex technical skills is now easier than ever in Canva and can be done in just a couple of seconds. In this lecture, I'm going to show you how Canva automatically finds and applies animations and transitions to your entire design. And you'll see it's the perfect time saver, especially for those longer presentations and video projects. Alright, guys, let me show you how magic Animate works. I am here in my Canva Teams account, okay, Canva paid account. And I just used a template that I found in a work kit from Canva. Okay, so this is a template created directly from Canva, 13 pages. It's an elevator pitch, and I've removed every single animation from this template because very oftentimes templates come with presets animations and transitions in them. So I want to show you this from scratch. Right, so I removed all of the animations. There is an easy way for you to check if your document contains animations. Simply use the presenter mode button like present full screen button right here at the bottom of your screen, these two little arrows, click on that in order to get into full screen. And then you can flip through the pages, and you should see if your document contains animation. Here, it does. So what I want to show you is that Canva has a bunch of animations, and all of these animations are free. So that's the good news. So, for example, let's say you want to animate this slide number two right here. I'm going to click on the background to the white part and click on the Animate button. So this would bring up this menu right here. With all my different animations. And you see, there's no little crown anywhere, meaning all of these animations are free. So what is not free are two things. First, the magic animate feature, which is the topic of this lecture. Magic Animate will instantly apply animations and transition to your entire project. So basically, Canva will use its AI to figure what are the best animations and transitions to add to your design based on all of these possibilities right here, I will look at your font, at your content, the colors you are using, et cetera, et cetera, to figure out the best combination of animation. So that is magic animate. And the other thing that is not free is once you've applied an animation, let's say you are using the white animation right here. So you apply design. So the other thing that is not free is your settings for the specific animation. You see the wipe animation is when everything wipes from one direction of your design. So in this case, it's coming from the left side of your design that will be by default. But what is a pro feature here is the speed control over that animation. You can make that more or less quick. You see, the way it wipes on your design, but also the direction. So you can make it wipe from the other side or from bottom to top with this arrow or top to bottom with this other arrow right here. Will reproduce under all of the different almost all of the different animations, the animation is free, but the setting is not free. It's pro. You see this little crown right here, the baseline animation, same. Speed is a pro feature, direction is a pro feature. So remember that Animations are free, but the settings of the animation, the granular settings to really tweak the animations as you wish will not be free. So that's basically how you use animations in so be aware that you can add animation to your entire page or to a specific block of elements or specific elements, like a textbox, for example, you click on the textbox and click on the animation button. Or if there is already an animation, it will carry the name of that animation, in that case, here, baseline. So you see on top of the animate menu, you can animate just the textbox, which is what I have selected, or you could animate the entire page, which is everything on that page. So just be talk about animations when we actually create designs further into the course. But for now, I wanted to kind of give you an introduction to the animations. Also, be aware that as a free feature, you can have your animation on Enter, meaning when you move to that specific slide, you can have your animation on exit. So when you leave the slide, you see, when you go to the next slide, it will do or by default, it will be on both. So that is a free feature. You can decide if you want the animation on both on Enter or on exit. So make sure you play around and try these different options because they make a big difference when you have a presentation. Sometimes both, I feel is a bit overwhelming. I usually prefer to have my animations on Enter and not every single slide because it's too much. But yeah, definitely try these different options. As a free user, they will work as well. Let's get to the core of this lecture, the magic animate feature. I want to try this feature. But for that, I'm going to remove the animation I have here. So with the button, remove all animation. Now, I believe I don't have any animations on my entire presentation right here. So, starting from the first page, I'm just going to click on the background, go to Animate, like so and try Magic Animate. I'm going to click here. And what's going to happen is that Canva is going to analyze my entire document and recommend a few different styles. I have recommended style. This one right here, professional. Why? Because it recognized this is an elevator pitch. It's more in the realm of, you know, talking in front of investors or maybe in a corporate structure. So the recommended style of animation is the professional one. And then we have alternative style. We have all the other style. Of course, Canva doesn't give us only one option. It actually gives me eight different options to play around with. But I'm going to go with Canvas Gut feeling in this recommendation professional. So if I click here, you see your design has been animated. And what happened here is that Canva added animations on every single page, plus a few different transitions. You see these little round icons right here in between my slides. These are transitions. And I can click on them. You see, I clicked on the transition. I opened the transition menu, right? So transition are different from animation, transitions are what are between the different slides, the different pages of my document. Transitions are free, including their setting. So that's pretty cool. All right. So now that Canva has applied these transitions and animations to my deck, I kind of want to discover them. So I'm going to go back to page one and click on that full screen presenter mode again. Now I'm going to start enjoying this presentation. I'm just going to flip through the pages, see the animations, you see, and transitions as well. So it's quite subtle. Here, we had a wide transition, again, wipe transition, things appear it's pretty subtle, pretty clean, pretty boring as well, I would say. But still, there is something like the animations on the charts. This was pretty cool. The wipe transition again. So we are consistently getting the wipes right here. So yeah, this was decent. This was clean. Kind of want to try something else. So I'm going to come back to the beginning. I'm going to click on fade and go to my page animations. Try magic Animate one more time and try a different style, okay? Now as professional. Let's try playful. Let's try something more fun, okay? Your design has been animated. So this should be another style. Again, presenting Yeah, I see the letters are bouncing slightly. So that is indeed a bit more fun. I got a radial transition this time, another one. Another one. I should probably add more variety in terms of the transitions. Not always the same one, but I think this is already a bit more fun than the previous one. I like that better. All right. What I would change here is just, like, alternate a little bit. You see all of these wipe or radiant. I think these are called radiant transition. Let me see. Circle wipe. Yeah. I would probably change that for a few different things or maybe not have them all lined up like this, like maybe get rid of some of them. But overall, I'm pretty happy with what I saw. So as you can see, Canva makes motion graphics super smooth and easy, but trust me, it's not always been the case. I remember spending hours crying, swearing, pulling my hair out, trying to create a basic animation with after effects. Fortunately, things have changed, and for the better. Now, everything you need to bring motion to your project is right there at your fingertips. You don't need complex software nor special skills. Indeed, magic animate will do all the work for you and insert high quality eye catching animations and transitions throughout your entire design. In just one click. What the heck? Why was I born so early? 7. Magic Morph: The next magic tool I would like to review with you is called Magic Morph. Magic Morph allows you to easily change the style of your text, shapes, and graphics by simply describing the outcome you desire. So it's basically text to image applied to existing elements, and important to know is that magic Morph is a paid feature only. So you'll need a Canva Pro, Canva Teams account to be able to use Magic. Now. That being said, let me show you how it works. Okay, guys, this is my Canva paid account. Okay? This is my Canva Teams account. You can see the little yellow profile picture here. And I am in a presentation document. I already inserted a few pages, so you will see I'm going to be using these examples to demonstrate what Magic Morph can do. So first, where to find Magic Morph. Well, Magic Morph is actually an app so far in Canva. So you will need to head over the apps button, the Appstab right here in the Object panel, click on that and then just simply search for magic. Morph. So you can start typing magic morph. The app icon looks like this. You can show the detail, looks like, so turn elements of your design into something extraordinary. So it's already installed for me. If it's the first time, the very first time you use it, you will need to connect that app to your Canva app. Once you're here, the interface of the app is pretty straightforward. You see, you need to first select an element in your design. So this works with different types of elements. It works with text. It works with graphics. It works with shapes as well. So we are going to demonstrate all these different use cases. Let's start with text because I believe this is where magic morph really shines when you can modify your text based on a prompt, and sometimes it works very well, sometimes it's kind of so I'm going to be live demoing this, so hopefully we get some pretty interesting results. Okay? So Canva gives us a few examples here, so a shape, piece of text, and a graphic. So the second thing you need to do in the two step process is to describe the look of what you're trying to achieve. And Canva gives us a few examples right here. For example, we have balloons. So if I click here, I can see the actual prompt, inflatable reflective gold foil party balloons. So you see this prompt is a little bit elaborated. Gives me more details about what this texture, what this material is made of. So this is important to remember. The more detailed you prompt, maybe the better it works. Let's have a look at the second example here, Halloween pumpkin. Okay, there's a wood carving kind of thing here, intricate wood carving. There's more. You use the little arrow. Flowers, fill it with clusters of flowers with a detailed leafy background. Pretzel one just says pretzel. So we have a variety of different ways to prompt. Sometimes it's just one word, like pretzel or chocolate or whatever. And sometimes it's a bit more elaborated, like this one right here, fill it with clusters of flowers, et cetera, et cetera. So let's try a few different things here. This word believe, okay? I'm going to delete this on a paste, an expression I would like to try wooden plank texture. Let's see if I can transform this word into a wooden plank texture. Okay? One thing I didn't tell you, but it's best to use kind of like a bold font, like a thick font. If you are going to use magic morph to transform its look and feel. Reason why that is is that if you use a very thin font or a handwritten font, Canva won't have much surface to work with. You need to have kind of like these thick letters so we can clearly see the texture, the new texture added to the word. So me here, I'm using Anton, but you can use any of the bold font in Canva. You can search for bold, you can search for maybe headlines, something with enough surface, I would say, touch points so that the texture can really stick to it. Okay, is going on with this wooden plank texture. Once you have inserted your prompt, just click on Magic Morph, and then Canva will generate four options for you. I'm not going to speed up the video for this first attempt. After that, I will because it's like every time it takes a couple of seconds, maybe 20, 30 seconds to generate. But I want to show you the real time here so you actually are not surprised when you use it for yourself. So here are my four previews. Okay. I can generate again. I can create them again if I'm not satisfied. Fortunately, I cannot really see them bigger as previews. So what you need to do is to click on them and kind of add them to your design. So you can see what's going on here. They're pretty similar one to another. So it's quite hard to find the right one. I would say I like this one, first one, last one. They're quite similar, to be honest. So let's just go with these two right here. So we can see the job has been done pretty well, okay? I like this one. I like this one in particular. I'm going to keep this one because it has nails as well. It seems like there is nails in there. Okay, so this is what the first prompt gets us as a result. I'm going to keep this one and paste it on my page two right here because I want to show you at the end of the lecture, or at least at the end of this section of the lecture, I want to show you the different results we were able to generate. Let's try a different prompt. Coming back to my word believe here, put it. I'm going to leave it here so I have enough space to show you the outcomes here. So if you want to try something different, you can click on Go Back. Or, you have this warning. This technology is new and improving, so please check and report these results if you don't seem right. You can always use that option. I'm not going to waste my time doing this. I'm just going to go back straight to my prompt and try something different. This time, I'm going to try something more elaborated. So this is my prompt, traditional African patterns with yellow and purple colors. Let's see if Magic Morph can handle such a prompt. Okay? Let's Alright, so here are my four results. I can see some African patterns, even though it's quite small. I'm just going to add them to my design here. These look pretty cool. I like that very much. Yeah, so I think this one was a success. Let me just add them all four right here to see which one I actually prefer. Let me just go this is pretty nice. If you zoom in very closely, you can start seeing imperfections due to the fact that it's simply AI generated, right? If you generate something similar with Dial E or with the image creator here in Canva, going to be the same thing. The details are still not super crisp, at least not with these models. But what I have here is satisfactory in my opinion. So I believe my favorite ones are the first, second, and third, the last one, not so sure. But yeah, so these were pretty convincing. I'm going to select the best one of them all. I think it's the first one and paste it next to my wooden plank here on the page number two. Alright, I'm going to try one last prompt, okay, delete these two, select my believe original word that I'm trying to modify. Last prompt I'm going to use, I would like something more modern, okay? So the prompt is glossy plastic texture, pink. Let's see if Canva understands this different structure of a prompt. So there you go. Again, I have my four results. I'm going to just add them all to my Yep, there you go. That was quick. Now I can just spread them apart so you can see them. Okay. So it is indeed glossy. The effect of the glossiness is not super sharp. So this is okay, but I expected this to be a little bit better. Probably the best one. I mean, this one, it's kind of glossy, it's kind of plasticy, but it's not super well done. Like, for example, the E here has a bar that shouldn't be here. O3e. This one also is kind of like a balloon texture here, but it's not super high rest. So I don't know. This one is the less worst of the mol, so I'm going to paste this one on my page number two right here. You go, I'm going to stop it here for this first use case, modifying textbook or a word. I would definitely stick to one or two words when I'm using magic morph on text, not try to transform an entire sentence. That would be too much. And you can see, in terms of results, it's good, but it's not quite there yet. I mean, I get the idea that what Canva is trying to do here, I think it has a huge potential, but the AI models that support this technology need to be better. I don't know why that is. Maybe Canva is not using the latest versions of these models, so this could be, I don't know, maybe stable diffusion being used here or open AIs, DE being used here. I'm not exactly sure what it is. We don't have this information, but this is clearly not the top notch model. So why aren't we getting the Creme de La Creme here? Not completely sure. If Canva decides to go all in on this, they should bring on the big guns, like the latest models, the ones that can actually blow your mind with the images generated. Let's move on to something different. We've seen how Magic Morph works with text boxes. Now, let's try something different. This is a shape. So if we go to my elements tab right here, and I look for the shape section, this one right here, you can see a bunch of different shapes. So this one is simply the cloud shape right here. So I inserted that onto my page. Creates a yellow shape because yellow is the first color It. So it doesn't really matter which color it is. Let me zoom out slightly. Go back to magic morph. So let me select my shape right here, go back to magic morph and paste my first prompt. So the prompt goes like this, pastel blue and purple gradient, cotton candy texture. So I'm trying to get that fluffy cotton candy texture look and feel in a gradient color. Let's see if Magic Morph can handle that go, my four results are here. Immediately, I like the second one and the third one. Let's just bring them all into my page so we can judge of their quality right here. Okay, so I have some cool stuff this time. I kind of like the second one. I like this one as well. The only thing is that they have kind of a weird outline. So I'm pretty happy about these too, but I think we could do better. So I'm going to click on Create again right here. There you go. I have four new ones. This one looks interesting. Kind of like I'm closer and closer to this cotton candy texture. You see? But we still have the outline that is not super clean, but I can live with that again. This one also interesting, I guess. So yeah, this prompt is a success, I would say. I will select this one and just paste that first cloud right here. Okay, now, deleting all the other cloud right here, going back. I have another prompt I would like to try, so I'm going to delete this one and paste the new one. And this one goes like this. Light yellow watercolor painting. Okay? So I'm going to stick with the yellow colors, but this time, I want a watercolor kind of effect. So let's see how this works. Okay. I have my four options right here. I think there are some pretty good stuff in there. This is quite nice. This one as well, but Magic Morph took the liberty to add some blue in my yellow watercolor prompt. So not convinced about this one. I much prefer this one right here. But yeah, I mean, I get the point it's easier to show me the watercolor effect with more colors. I'm going to keep the first one. I think this is the best one, the most faithful to the original prompt. Let me delete this and try yet one last time. So click on Goba. Alright, the last one I'm going to try for this Cloud is this prompt right here, filled with cherry patterns. Okay, patterns with an S. Let's try this one. And the reason why I'm showing you different prompts is because I want to show you kind of the array of possibilities. The different structures of sentences and prompts that you can use. It's not just like a one word pretzel or a very long expression describing a texture. It could be filled with another object, another texture. And you see these are pretty cool, like the cherry texture or cherry pattern. Some cherries are a little bit weird on this one. This one a little bit less, but I like how the light is reflecting and my cloud, the shape of my cloud is also respected. So I would say this is a pretty good cherry interpretation right here. I'm going to stick with this one right here and paste here. So there you go. These are the three different outcomes I generated with Magic Morph. Based on the simple shape that I found in the Canva library, I was able to elevate this shape, give it some texture, make it more interesting by simply prompting. Now, is it perfect? No, it's not perfect. It's not super high resolution. We've discussed that already. It would be perfect if we were using better models. But like this little gray box is reminding us right here, this technology is still new and improving. So again, this gives me a lot of hope for what's coming in Canva. Few months or yeah, maybe a few weeks even when they really decide to go all in and invest more resources into these AI tools. Right, let's move on to the third and last use case I want to show you. So we've so far modified with Magic Morph textbook and then a basic shape that we found in the Canva library. But something else that you can do is to work with graphics, okay? So you can basically any graphics from the Canva library and try to modify it with magic morph. So what I have here is a simple logo that I found under the elements, and I think I was looking under I just typed in geometrical logo, geometric logo. You see my search is still here? And I filtered the graphics. So see all graphics, and I just popped this logo right here straight onto my going to select it, go back to Magic Morph and delete this cherry prompt, and this is the new prompt, radiating pink and purple neon gradients. I think this logo could look great for an app or for an AI tool or a custom GPT with some more colors into it. So let's see if Magic Morph can help me get there. Go, I have my four logos right here, so I'm going to move this one slightly. And there are some good ones in there. This one, not so much, but still going to keep it here. I like the second one. This one is really cool, really slick. And then the next two ones are also pretty nice. So except from the first one, maybe this one also because it has some imperfections in the middle. I'm going to delete these two. But definitely, these two are pretty cool logos. I'm probably going to stick with the last one, this one that I'm going to paste here because it looks very modern, this gradient into this logo, and it was very easy. There is no other way you can really insert gradient into an element in Canva that I know of. There's no apps that do that, but Magic Morv did it perfectly. Right, so that's the first thing I wanted to try. Let me come back here. The second prompt is going to be something a little bit more natural, okay? So I'm going to click on it. Go back. My prompt is the following. Okay? So again, it's the field technique or prompt structure, remember, the filled with the cherry pattern for the cloud. So here, I'm going to fill this with lush green leaves. Okay? I need to select it. Otherwise, it won't work. You see, it didn't work because I didn't have my logo selected, so there is no way I can launch magic Morph. So make sure you select your graphic or element or text. Otherwise, you won't be able to launch it. Let's do this. Okay, so here, this is what I have. I don't really see the leave. Okay, yeah. I could see that when I zoom in, I see the texture. It's more like a photo of a forest taken from above. Okay, so I don't really see all of the leaves. Like, I wish I would, but the texture, well, this one is not what I would call a success, but it is something. So what I'll do, I'll just generate again, give it a second try. I have something quite similar. Maybe this one would work. Let me make it bigger. I think what's going on here is that the space, the surface available for these patterns, these leaves, it's not big enough because there's a lot of surfaces. There's not one large surface for the texture to be applied, and that is probably what's going on. I'm trying to justify why it's not working that well for this specific ex anyway, I'm going to paste it here. I'm going to leave it at this big size. Otherwise, we won't be able to see really the pattern going on. Alright, so I have one last prompt I wanted to try for this logo right here. Make sure not to select this one. I need to select the first one, the original one. Otherwise, something funky is going to come up. Okay, so the last prompt is rice paper lantern with warm light. Okay. Can this work? Let's see. So I have some unexpected results here. I'm going to bring them all to my page because I don't really see where my paper lantern is. Maybe this one, what is this really? This looks more like Oh, yeah, I see. Yeah, a collection of different paper lanterns. It's more like some sort of tha paper lanterns or Chinese. Yeah, I see what's going on. This logo is pretty cool, but it doesn't look like a paper lantern. I like the texture, though on this. So this is the one that is going to my page six right here, paste that here, reduce the size slightly. Alright, I think this is where I'm going to stop this demo. As you use Magic Morph, you will quickly realize that the most difficult part of using this app is to come up with interesting prompts to modify the look and feel of your elements. I often found myself lacking inspiration or not knowing how to properly describe the looks I wanted to achieve. So here is a little hack. I the trick consists in using an AI text generator, kind of like Cha GPT, or here in Canva, we could use Magic write to ask it to generate the prompts for me, to craft the prompts for me. So since I'm here in Canva, I'm going to first try the magic write. So Canvas text assistant. Magic write can be found under the little Spark AI quick button right here. So click on Magic write. I'm going to paste the this prompt, you're welcome to just use that prompt if you think it's working. I'm going to read it out loud so you see where I'm going here. Help me generate a series of short description of popular styles or looks for graphic design elements. Prompts can include objects, textures, colors, locations, surroundings, people. I didn't invent these. I found this somewhere on the Canva website that Magic Morph could handle all of these types of categories of modification to your original then I give it a few examples. Here are a few examples, inflatable reflective gold foil party balloons. So these are just the prompts that I had here. So I copied them exactly the same one right here. I'm going to generate this prompt, see what magic write comes up with. Okay, I have ten different answers right here. So what I'm going to do is to insert that into my page right here because I don't want to lose it. One thing about magic write is that if I click it out of the prompt box, I'm going to lose all of that information and I don't want to lose it. So I'm going to bring it to my page. So let's see what we have here Neon cityscape. Capture the vibrant essence of a bustling metropolis at night with glowing neon lights illuminating towering skyscrape. This is a very elaborate prompt. I probably need something much more streamlined, like less details. But let's just use what's in bold right here, Neon cityscape, vintage botanical illustration, rustic burlap texture. Let's try that. This could be cool for this specific logo. See how you can generate these images. If you're not happy with them, you can modify the prompt. Maybe here I could say, Oh, these descriptions are too long, restrict yourself to, I don't know, five words. And that would just give some extra guideline in your prompt so you can adapt the size of it. Okay, me, I'm going to use that rustic burlap texture, paste that here, select this one guy right here and magic morph it. Let's see what comes out. Okay, I'm going to move this to the side for now and show you different results I have here. This one, oh, yeah. I could see the ball up texture when I zoom in. It's actually pretty interesting. That's one. Let me try this second one right here. It has more texture to it. This is actually pretty cool, kind of like that. Yeah, this is just a little trick. I'm not going to go too deep in this, but a little trick I wanted to show you, you can call an AI text assistant to help you craft the right prompts for Magic Morph. Again, I used Canva here, but this would work with the free version of ChanGPT Cloud or Gemini, use the AI tool of your choice. And that's it for this lecture about Magic Morph. In the next one, I'll show you how you can super easily generate photos, videos, and graphics are of nothing with another cool AI tool called Magic Media. 8. Magic Media: Magic Media allows you to turn even your most crazy ideas into images, videos, and graphics. And the way it works is that it uses AI to generate these media based on a text prompt that you input. Now, this could be really useful to generate an image you can't find in the Canva library or a specific Bau that you need for your video project. Instead of spending hours searching for it or designing it, magic Media allows you to generate it out of thin air. Let's jump into a quick demo. Let me start by explaining where to actually find Magic Media. Magic Media will pop up in different places in the Canva editor, but the best and most efficient way to find it is to look under the apps. Magic Media is an app. It's a Canva native app, but it is an app. So if you click on apps and just scroll down a little bit in the section more from Canva, you should see Magic Media. If you don't see that, you can always type in Magic Media and hit Enter, you should see magic Media here as the first option. So let's click on Magic Media, the app Okay, so now, once you have actually opened the app, this is what it would look like. So you will have and that's very important. So pay attention to this. You have three different tabs right here. The first tab being images. Then you have your graphics, and then you have videos. Okay? Right below that, you will have your prompt box. So you can enter in that box the prompt to generate your media. It has this inspire me button, so you can just circle through these if you are not inspired. And then you have your style buttons, okay? A bunch of different styles. You should see five straightaway, but more. If you click on C or, you should see large variety of styles. This is for images. So you have photography, you have your digital art, you have fine art. So these are the styles. If you want to go back, just use the little arrow right here next to style, you will come back to the main magic media interface. And then all the way down at the bottom, you have your aspect ratio. So you can generate images in the three most common aspect ratio square. So this would be perfect for this document, for example, my Instagram post document, landscape, which will be appropriate for presentation or video or portrait, like a mobile video for so that is what it looks like. Now, let's answer the question. Who can use Magic Media? Is this a free app? Is this a paid app? Well, the answer is that it's a paid app with a premium. So the premium means that free users will get 50 uses, 50 free tries for magic Media to generate images and graphics. Plus five tries to generate videos. And that is lifetime. It's not every month. It's not going to refresh. So once you have exhausted these 55 tries that you get for free as a free user, that's it. You can't use magic media anymore without upgrading your Canva to a paid account. Now, if you are a pro user or teams user here, I'm using my Canva Teams account. You should see here at the bottom, I have one of 500 credits left. So meaning I have 500 credits here. And these will refresh at the beginning of next month. So 1 November 2024. So that is for images and graphics, okay? The first two tabs. You have 500 credits per month per user. This is important. If you're using a Canva teams account, every single user in your team will have these 500 credits. So for images and graphics, for videos, it's a bit different. You have 50 credits per user per month. So you have less than the images because generating video is more energy intensive, is more computer intensive than to generate. So that is who has access to this. Remember, it's a paid feature but has a premium. So knowing that it is important that you use it sparingly, especially if you are a free user because these 50 free users are going to run out very fast. So make sure you use it not just for testing sake, but whenever you really need it. And two, try to generate good prompts because the quality of your prompt will determine the quality of the media being generated. Okay. So in this lecture, I'm going to teach you how to write these good prompts. I'm going to show you some examples of how I would prompt to get different things, and hopefully you get the best hues of magic media. Alright, let's start generating our first image right here. I'm going to clear this preset prompt right here. My prompt is this one. I just purchased a big plant, birds of paradise plant. It's in our living room. I love it. So I figured let's try to reproduce an image of that plant with Canva. So the prompt is the following a tall birds of paradise plant in a handmade rotten basket. Okay? Because we have a rotten basket, and the plant is pretty big, and it's a birds of paradise. All right. So after you insert your prompt, you see, I kept my prawn relatively simple. I figured, it's good to have it's not like mid journey. You don't need to write these elaborated prompts with all the different specs of everything, like the lens and this and the light. Just try to keep it simple, make it detailed but simple. So it's a fine line. So here I feel like I'm giving enough information like the name of the plant, the type of texture for the basket. I think that's enough. Once you have a prompt you are happy with, you will need to determine the style. So me, I'm going to be using something from photography right here. I want the image to be realistic. So I'm going to be using vibrant. Okay? So tall birds of paradise plant in a handmade rattle basket in vibrant. Okay, let's generate the image. I'm using one by one aspect ratio, so I'm make sure to select this one right here and go and generate so again, I'm not going to speed up the video for this first attempt because I want you to see just how long it takes or how fast it goes to generate these images. You see, I already have two out of four, and this is looking pretty good so far. My plant doesn't have the orange flowers, so I'm going to go for this one because this one is the one that most looks like the one I am actually having in my living room. Okay, so I'm going to set this image as the background to make it full screen. There you go. And I'm pretty happy about this. This image looks quite realistic. I mean, we can still see it's AI, but it's pretty realistic let me show you something you can do from here. Without changing your prompt, so I'm not changing the prompt. I am going to click on CO again in my style section right here. I'm going to change completely the style of this image for something else. Let's look at something else that could look cool, playful, could be good. Let's go into fine art papercut. I'm going to click on Papercut. And you see my prompt has been kind of kept here in the memory of the app. So as long as I don't clear it, I still have the same prompt. Now, I'm going to generate this again using the generate again button, create a different you will see how different the same prompt will turn into an output because I change the style of it. All right. Here I have some flowers in pretty much all of these plants. I'm going to use this one. It looks cool. I can make it full screen set as background. You see how different the two images are just because I change the style. So do some research and make sure you understand the vibe or the aesthetic you are going for because switching between these styles will make a huge difference in the output you are getting from magic. Right. That is pretty good. Now, let me show you something else you can do. I'm going to go back to my prompt. I want to show you that you can work on the prompt to try and get different outcomes. Remember, I told you that my plant doesn't have the colorful flowers in it. So what I would like to do is to refine my prompt so that I stop receiving these colorful flowers into the generated images. I would like the plant to just be green leaves. Okay? So how could I do this? Well, just by coming back to my prompt, also coming back to the different style, let's go back with vibrant, the same as the first image I generated. Now a tall birds of paradise plant. Okay, a tall green birds of paradise plant. And I'm going to put birds of paradise in between the quotation mark so that it knows it's the name a tall green birds of paradise plant with handmade atten basket. Let's see if this is good enough if I modify the prompt enough so that it stop generating these colorful flowers. So by simply adjusting the prompt, here, I just added one word, the word green, I changed the output that I was getting to represent what I was trying to get in a more faithful manner, I would say. Okay? So there you go. I have the green plant right here, and all of these four options were green. So that actually so this teaches us something that the prompt is super important here. So again, take some time to craft the right prompt. My formula is to keep it simple but precise. Okay? Every single word in your prompt should be adding something to the image description. Don't add words for the sake of adding words or adjectives for the sake of adding objectives, and don't go into this very long prompt mid journey style, like early mid journey style. This won't do you any good. Trust me, I've tried that here in Canva. This is not the way to prompt. Keep it simple, but be precise. That would be my recommendation. So this is what I wanted to show you. Well, at least when it comes to generating images, we are going to go into the videos and the graphics in a second, but you don't need to stop there. You can use all the photo editing tools that Canva puts at your disposal to go further and further modify this image. For example, this plan right here, I could simply click on the Edit button with my photo selected, of course, otherwise you won't see any button. But then you see, I have all of the magic studio apps, so the background remover, magic eraser, magic grab, et cetera, et cetera. I want to get rid of the background, for example, just click on background remover. This should be pretty straightforward, there you go to remove the background of this plant. Now I have it without the background. Again, if I click on it, Edit button, I have also access to the filters, the effects, and I could even use this image inside a mockup. So yeah, this is not the end of the story. You can definitely keep editing your images that you generate with magic media by using the regular, I would say, photo editing suite in you want to go deeper and learn more about what you can do in terms of text to image generation with magic media, you can visit this landing page by scanning this QR code. I will also have a link to this page in the video description, but there is a bunch of good information here, including questions like, can I use Canvas AI image generators for personal or commercial projects? So this is something you might be interested in because you are selling designs you are creating with Canva and with image generation. So this FAQ will answer that. Also, it will answer questions like, can I generate images of known people? You will also find the answer to that in this FAQ right here. So again, you can scan the QR code that you see on screen or find the link in the lecture's description. And for the gigs among you guys, wondering which model Kanva uses to generate these images, well, we've been told it's Openeyes Dal E. Which version of DALE, we are not exactly sure. Now, when it comes to video, Canva uses a different model to generate the footage. It uses runway. And this makes me confident about the quality we'll be getting with magic media because both Dal E and Runway are leaders in their respective industries. So even though the results we are getting as of today, inside Canva with magic Media are not always spot on, I am confident this technology will continue to improve and pretty soon we'll be getting truly amazing results. Now, let's get back to Canva and start messing around with video generation. Alright, let's come back to the magic Media interface. We were using the image tab. Remember? Now, I want you to switch over the video tab. We're going to skip graphics for now and come back to it because I want to teach you the different categories of media you can create based on the order Canva added them to the magic Media app. So it started with images only, then Canva announced and added the videos. And then more recently, Canva also added the Graphics tab right here so we can generate graphics as well. So second addition was the video. Okay? Same interface. Pretty much. You just don't have the styles here. All you have is this textbox to prompt. Okay? So you can look at different examples from Canva, which is something I would always recommend you do because you can get a feel at what kind of prompt they're using, the structure of this prompt. I'm not saying you should prompt the same thing or even use one of these examples. Remember, especially if you're a free user, you got only five free tries, and that's it. So use them wisely. So here an example of a prompt is pop art animated background minimal motion design aesthetic. Let's see another one beautiful snow capped mountains in the style of professional cinematography, natural light. Smoke blowing from the mouth of an active volcano, beautiful spring rose in a garden in the style of professional cinematography, natural light. So here, I can see in the style and also some indication of the lights, which is interesting. Alright, let me clear these prompts and add my own prompts. So my own prompt, a female skater doing tricks in a skate park. Let's add in the style of cinematographic morning light. Okay, let's see if Canva can generate that. Click on Generate. And it says, grab your popcorn. A brand new video inspired by your scene is being generated. It should take about one to 2 minutes. And you see here, there is a little logo saying that this video is powered by runway, like I mentioned before. So I'm going to speed up the video because I don't want you to lose 2 minutes of your life. Alright, I see an image forming right here. So let's have a look I play this? If I hover my mouse over this image, I can see something moving in the background. I can see some person right there. Like, writing is skateboard, but my main character is not moving. I'm going to try to import this into my page. Maybe that's the reason why. So this looks okay. Though the hand here is weird, very weird. Like, I have four fingers. I have a missing part. She looks like an Android, actually. Let's see. Let's play this. Yeah, that's what I thought. Like, she is not moving. I'm going to try to generate it again because I'm not happy with this result. Alright, I see my new image has been generated there, but I believe I'm going to have the same problem. I see people moving in the background, but my main character is not moving. And also, we have some pretty bad things going on here with her face. Yeah. This is really not nice. Me the early Dal E kind of vibe where the mothers were not able to properly generate people. So actually, Canva gave me a warning when I was trying to generate these images. I lost it now, but it said something in the range of scenes with people or animal may not look quite right. I think this is quite an understatement because it is true that this video generation of people are not there yet. I mean, this is not made to generate images of people nor animal. I haven't tried but, you know what? Let's go ahead and try something that actually is recommended by Canva, No animals, not humans. Let's try a different prompt. This one should be more straightforward. It's a drone shot flying at high speed over a luxurious tropical forest. Okay, drone shot flying at high speed over a luxurious tropical forest. Let's see if magic media can handle this prompt better than the previous ones. Alright, I see my video has been generated here. So yeah, let's add this to my design. Alright, this is much better than what I previously have about the female skater. However, I was hoping that I would get the shot from the drone, not a shot of a drone. A drone shot, flying. Okay, maybe I should modify this prompt to find a way to say, Okay, I want this view from the drones camera. Okay, so let's try this one last time, a drone shot view from the drone camera. Flying. Okay, let's try this. Maybe this will work better. Alright, my video is ready, and I think it worked. It's not moving very fast, but it is moving. So I'm going to move this one up, bring this one to my design as well, and have a look. Yeah, so it's a very slow moving shot, but it understood I wanted the shot to be taken from the drone camera, not a video of the drone. So not quite there yet, but this is already much better. And I can see the potential of this tour. Now, let's wrap up this lecture with the last one of these three types and try to generate some graphics. A, your graphics are in the middle right here. So let's click on this tab and simply paste my first prompt right here. So we have different styles available to us. We have simple styles with doodle stickers. The default graphics right here seems to have a little bug about this button. I reported this to Canva already. But yeah, this should be something else. I don't remember what it looks like, like in normal circumstances, but there should be a default graphics right here, line art, mod line, organic. So that's your simple styles. And then you have your artistic styles, hand drawn, vintage, geometric, et cetera, and your detail like the three D chrome, gold foils, crab book, right? So I'm going to go. As my prompt first. And for this one, I'm going to go with the style organic. Okay? So see the organic style. And the prompt is a cloud icon with a smile and big round eyes. Okay. Let's imagine I am creating a presentation or I am creating a website, and I need that specific icon, okay? And obviously, I will need all of my icons to carry this consistent style. But the first one is this one. So it will pretty much guide my aesthetic direction where I'm going in terms of style. Okay. This is the prompt. This is my style. Let's go ahead and generate this graphic. Alright, I have my four clouds right here with the smile and the big eyes. Don't like them all. This one kind of okay, but the colors are a bit neutral. This one, as well. This one is weird because there's a cloud inside a cloud next to another cloud, so there's too many clouds. And this one is freaky. This one is kind of like a Halloween cloud. Okay, so I have these two, which is not too bad. I could probably work with this. I wish that the graphics generated by magic media gave us the option to change the colors. That would be super awesome. Maybe this is coming to Canva. I hope they get to this point, but right now, they're not vectorized, so you cannot change the individual colors of everything in here. If you want to change the colors of this, you need to go through your edit button and do a tone. Okay? So you can do things like that. You can insert your own colors if you want to. But that's kind of like you're limited to this. Okay, in terms of changing the colors so far. Right, let's try something else. I want to use the same prompt again, but to change the style to something else. So let's go back to styles here, Show A. I want to try the monoline style right here, okay? So generate again. There you go. I have some moderately good icons being generated there. I don't know if I can use that. Like, literally, this one is what that is. This one is okay. It's maybe too simple. This one is a bit leaning on the left here. Not sure what's happening. This one, not so convinced either. Maybe I could tweak my prompt a little bit, a simple cloud icon with a smile and big round eyes. Okay, let's try this again by adding the word simple. Will this make my cloud more streamlined, more simple, indeed. Let's see. Alright, I have my four results. Again, the fourth one looks like Canva was a bit tired at the end and say, Okay, there you go. There's a fourth. Good. The second one, not great. The third one and first one are the two ones that I could probably use. But I will find many more interesting Cloud icons in the media library. I mean, if I search for elements under graphics. So I'm not convinced about this one prompt. Let's try a completely different prompt and see if it works better, okay? I have something else here. Try. This prompt right here. Icon of a dog wagging its tail. Okay? And for the style, I'm going to stick with monoline, see what I can get. There you go. F quite abstract images of my dog. Maybe I should get rid of the name of the word icon. Maybe a dog wagging its tail would be more appropriate because here, nothing really matches. So I'm feeling compassionate here for all of you guys, free users because you're wasting your credits on stuff like this I have plenty of credits and they will refresh next month, so I can actually afford to do all of these iterations. But from what I'm seeing right now, the magic media, it has a lot of potential, but it's quite irregular in the way it's generating the media, the outcomes. And I can try different prompts. It's not getting any better. Maybe I'm using the wrong style. Maybe moodine is not a good style for this. I don't know. I'm not sure. I'm going to try one last thing, changing the style for something more. Let's go back to the default graphics, for example. Cava generates something better if I use the default settings. Alright. I have four images right there. I'm going to use them more on the design, and you can judge for yourself. Let me just resize them quickly. Okay, so we have this one, this one, this one, and this blue guy right here. Okay, so let's have a look. This is better than anything else we've had so far. Obviously it's difficult to represent movements like the tail wagging with a steel image. But I can still see a prominent tail right here, right here on every one of these images. You just don't see the movement, but that's okay because I get the essence. So these are actually much better than whatever we have had so far for the same and this is where I'm going to stop the demo. Alright, folks, that's a wrap on magic media. Overall, I believe it's a solid feature, especially when it comes to generating images, and I definitely encourage you to give it a try. That being said, remember, this is just the beginning. Canva is actively working on enhancing this technology and further integrating it into its platform. So keep an eye on it because big things are on the horizon. 9. Magic Eraser: Let's dive deeper into Magic Studio and see how Canvas AI tools can take your photo editing to the next level. In this lecture, I want to show you how Canva can help you clean up your photos in a quick and easy way. The feature is called Magic Eraser. And, trust me, it does exactly what it says on the box. Just a few clicks. You can remove any unwanted objects from your photos using AI. It is simple, fast and a total game changer when it comes to cleaning up your images. Let's start with the most common use case probably of Magic Eraser. And that is to remove unwanted people from photos of yourself. Okay? So it could be selfie, like this one right here, could be a photo that you take in the street or at an event or anything. You just want to get rid of unwanted elements or people in your photo. In this case, this photo is very important to both DNA and this is the first photo we took together after reuniting, at the very beginning of our relationship, we met in Peru, and then we both went back to our respective countries, me in Belgium, Diana and Colombia. We were separate for about three months and only had spent about three weeks together ever. So we didn't know where this relationship would go, but this is when we kind of reunited and together, we flew to India. Diana flew from Colombia to different countries to get to Brussels. And this plane was leaving Brussels to go to New Delhi. So this is when we reunited, we took this Selfie, so it's a very significant photo for us. Fortunately, there is this guy here in the background. So what I'm going to show you right now is how you can use Magic Eraser, try to get rid of this person. So the first thing you need to know is that magic eraser is a paid feature. So there's no way you can use that. If you're a free user, I'm using my Canva Teams account right here. So the way you access the feature in Magic Studio is you click on your photo, go to your Edits button, and Magic Eraser should be the second icon right here, second tool in Magic Studio. It looks like, so there's a pack of French fries. It says Magic Easer. It has the little crown indicating it's a paid feature. So click on it. And then this is what you should see. I'm going to reduce so the interface is very sleek, it's very simple to use straightforward. You can decide whether you want to select the part that you want to erase, either by using the brush or by using the click. Okay. So the click is actually the simplest way. The brush kind of requires you to be precise. You need to brush over everything you want to remove. So it's not that straightforward. I mean, it's not very hard, but the click, on the other hand, look what happens. When you select click, Canva will quickly analyze everything in the photo. And then when you hover over different elements of this photo, you will get the ability to just remove that selection. So here I want to get rid of this guy. Not everyone else on the plane. I'm not that picky, but this guy right here because he's right above the NST and he's also looking in a weird way this direction. So I mean, let's remove him. So I clicked on it, and I could continue selecting more things, but I don't want to. Maybe this guy standing there, is not necessary. So let's just remove this guy right here. Once you've selected it, you can click on erase. Then Canva will automatically erase that person from the photo and kind of rebuild the pixels of what was supposed to be behind that person. Did a pretty good job here at actually getting rid of that person. So I'm happy with this. If not, you can always reset the tool. Okay, reset magic eraser, confirm the guy will come back, and you can try again to erase that person. Okay, because it will not always give you the same result. The way the pixels will be rebuilt will not always be the same. So there you go. I have cleaned up a very important photo for DNnine. Right, let's try another photo. This photo right here, it's a more recent photo that I took in South Africa in the Cape of Good Hope, which is the most Southwestern point of the African continent. Okay? So what you don't see in this photo is that there was a huge queue right here of people waiting for dozens of minutes to just get their photo taken right here. On this side, I mean, there were less people. So I just, like, scoot to the side, and I asked Diana to take a photo of me. Obviously, there are people in your shot. When you're right there, there is no one else in your shot, but I knew I had magic eraser. So I could now spend some time just erasing these people and nobody would ever know that I was not alone at the Cape of Good hope. So the way you start, and what I want to show you here is kind of like cranking up the difficulty, the complexity of removing four people because really there are four people right here from this photo. So let's try. First, you select the image. Then click on Edit Image Fine magic eraser. So again, you have your choice between the brush and the click, and the brush size can be adjusted. You see you can make it smaller or bigger, so it's really up to you. I'm going to start with the click Okay, the AI is going to analyze the photo and then let you click on different people. You see, cannot access the person behind the first person for now. So I'm just going to select these three and erase. All right, so there you go. This is not too bad. My letters have been slightly blurred right here. I like the work it's done around my head. Okay, not too bad. I still have this, though. And now it seems like I can click I want to show you how to use the brush as well. So I'm going to finish this with the brush. I'm going to go over all of this here, trying not to go too much or too much to the side here. You can release your click. That's totally fine. You can change the size of the brush if you need to kind of midway here. So let me just try to be precise. You don't need to brush over the shadows, I believe. Okay? So let me just do the sensitive parts, like so, and then I'm going to change the brush size and just go from outside and make sure everything is brush here. A little bit here. I'm going to reduce one last time, and there you go. Boom. Okay, now, can erase this. Not sure if it's going to turn out good or not, but yeah, it's worth trying. So it's not actually great here. So what I'm going to do is to reset and start over until I get a result that I'm happy with. Okay? So again, I'm going to use the clicks, get rid of these three. And instead of using the brush, I'm going to use the click to finish off the last person right here that I could not access with the click during the first try. Now, I can. You see, I can click on that person, erase. Let's just hope it's going to make more sense now. This is not too bad, but you see this right here, kind of like the continuation of this board. I mean, this was not there. I'm not sure why. So maybe what I can try to do is to simply use the brush and just brush off this little thing here. And this as well. Let's see. It's an iterative process. You need to try different things. The more you try, the more you are going to damage your image as well. So I would say this is as far as I go, let's see if I can get rid of this shadow and try again. And if you're not happy, you can always start or you can buy another ticket, go back to Cape Town and this time, wait in the queue to get this perfect photo taken. But yeah, this is what I wanted to show you. The photo is not perfect. I would probably not use the photo as such. So you can always reset the tool. It was a little bit more complicated to deal with this more complex photo. You can always try again if you want to. But for me, I'm just going to move on to the third and last use case I want to show. Another photo right here. Let's get into another mindset right now. I'm not talking about travel photography. I'm talking about more professional setup. This is a restaurant in Gili Air, a little island of Lombok in Indonesia, where we spent two weeks, Diana and I earlier this year. And we went there to this restaurant. The restaurant belongs to a lady called Mona, and Mona cooks very well. As you can see on the photo, the food looks delicious. And we went there again and again. I think we went there good ten times during our two weeks there. The more we would go, the more we decide, Okay, we should try to do something for Mona to help her with her restaurants. And the first idea that came to mind is, Oh, we could redesign Mona's menu in Canva and have a QR code generated and have all of the QR code on the table. So when people scan that code, they would get to a Canva website with Mona's menu. That was our we took a bunch of photos of the food or different things, and this is one of the photos. But let's imagine you want to use this photo. There are two things. First, there is a little icon right here that thumbs up, half of it. And then let's say, I want to get rid of this beer right here, the Bintang right here. I want to focus on the food. Let's say I don't want to show any alcohol on my menu. How can I do that? Well, very easily, same process going to use magic eraser. Okay, let's go again with the click. Let's first take care of the beer. That should be super straightforward. Click on the beer, erase. Gone in no time. Alright? Boom. Bye bye Bintang. And now I'm going to zoom out and focus on this little thing right here. You see the click is not picking it up, it's not showing. So I'm just going to use the brush and simply do a little touch over this, and there you go. I got rid of that little half icon right here on my food photo. So as you can see, magic eraser is perfect for cleaning up your photos. Now, let's crank things up a notch and discover what magic Grab can do. 10. Magic Grab: Alright, you folks. Welcome back. Let's talk about something really cool, magic grab. This tool will take your photo editing to the next level. Imagine being able to click on any object in your photo and instantly select it. From there, you can delete it, resize it, move it around, or even drop it in a completely different image. Magic grab gives you total control over every element in your photo. Be aware, folks that as most of the good stuff in Magic Studio, Magic Grab is also a paid only feature. This means you will need a Canva Pro, Canva Teams, Canva Enterprise, Canva for non profits or education accounts to be able to use Magic Grab. Now, that being said, let's jump into my Teams account and see how it works. One thing I believe Magic Grab is great for is to reorganize a specific image or photo you might have. And this could be very handy when it comes to creating thumbnails for your video. So I have here a few photos I already researched for you guys and prepared. The first one is this one. It's a photo I took in Indonesia of a wood cover, okay? I believe his name was Hear, and he worked for an organization, a fair trade organization called Peckert. So what I want to do with this is to create a thumbnail for the interview I have of Hearu on my YouTube channel. Okay But you'll see if I just use this image and try to make it fit to my thumbnail document here, so cover the entire thumb see that hu is too big and so it's either his foot is cut out or the top of his head. I cannot have the entire hu, his entire body in my shot without having part of the thumbnail which is left blank. So that is a problem, indeed. So let's try to fix this with magic grab. The first thing I'm going to do is to click on the photo and select that photo. I'm going to click the Edit button to bring on the menu here and I'm going to go for Magic Grab, which is this yellow icon right here. Okay? So you see the pro feature. I'm going to click on Magic Grab, and this is what the UI will look like. You see? It had quickly analyze my photo and allows me to either to select a part of my photo, and you see here something peculiar is happening. It's the fact that since Hero is working with this piece of wood here, the AI doesn't recognize him as one single piece. You see there are different parts of Hero's body, actually, what's below this piece of wood and what's above it. So this is going to add an extra layer of difficulty to my project, but it's not impossible. Let me show you how to work and you also have the brush, okay? So brush works just like we've seen before. You can adjust the size of the brush and decide to manually brush over whatever parts you wish to grab in that photo. Click is much easier to use, okay, because it just, does the heavy lifting for you. So I'm going to start with Click. And the good thing with click is that you can click on different elements in your photo, all at once, select them all at once. You don't need to press any key. Keep clicking on these parts to add them to your selection. So I see this. I see the little handle of the tool that hero is using right here. Click on the tool. Unfortunately, I don't have any option to click on that piece of wood, on on that other piece of wood right there that I believe He is using as a support. So I'll have to rely on the brush for these two other elements. So I'm going to do my best to brush this correctly. Okay? So I'm just holding my click and moving my mouse here, right, making sure I'm covering all of the here. Once I have kind of done the complicated part, I can increase the size of my brush to just save a bit of time here. Just go over this, make sure I don't leave anything selected. Okay. Once you have everything selected, click on grab for Magic Grab to actually do its thing, right? It's going to detach every selected part from the current background. Now, this tool is different from the background remover in that background remover will just get rid of the background. Here we detach the subject, but we keep the background. Now, you see, I can move everything that I selected around without having the background go away. I did a pretty good job at selecting everything here. So now that I have this selection, and I have kind of detached my topic, my subject from the background, I can do different things. I can resize. You see, I can scale him down. Which is going to be much easier for me to create that thumbnail in that specific dimension. Remember, it didn't fit on the document size right here on the full frame document with my thumbnail. So the first thing I'm going to do before I even scale hero I did scale him a little bit down. But I'm going to click on the background, right click on that background and set the image as background. If I double click on it, I can adjust. So I can adjust up and down. But of course, I'm going to lose a bit of the background, but that's not too much of an issue. I still want to see the product he's making there, like the finished product. I still want to see the coffee glass. I still want to see the chips of wood on the floor. So I want to keep all of that. So let's go with this. Now, you see this is starting to take shape. I can move her around. Let's make him bigger because he's kind of like the hero of that don't want his photo to be in front of the tools that we see. We see a star. Okay, so this looks actually pretty good. Let's also make sure we have realistic scale. So the size of hero compared to the glass, compared to the sandals. So it needs to make sense, right? So like, play around this a little bit, try to find the best spot him. Usually, also, I will use the rule of thirds on my thumbnail, trying to align one of the hotspots on one of these thirds right here. So if I bring in some guides here, so show rulers and guides, there you go. The third would be more or less, something like that. This is more or less. I'm not saying this is perfect. Maybe Canva has some predefined guides here for me. They do. So rows and guy add guides. Yes. So three by three grid. That's perfect. So I can actually, You know what? I'm going to cancel my previous guides. So settings, add guys, let's just cancel these two, I just add it, and then now go back settings add guides and select the three by three guides. There you go. So now it is precise. And you see this guide right here, it's actually crossing He's I, which is perfect. So I think I'm good here. I'm going to deactivate the routers and guides. Okay, so I now know that hero is properly aligned on that. Something that looks a bit weird is that glass here. Why is the glass so far if Hero has been working here? And obviously, he has been working from the same position because you see all of the chips of wood, they're still there. Okay? So the glass should probably be somewhere around here. And also, because I moved him here from the original photo, it's kind of like an empty space here that has been rebuilt by DAI, right? All of this wasn't there in the photo. It was Hero's place. So how about I try Magic Grab. Again, on the background this time, not on her, click on the background. Go to your Edit button, Magic Grab. Again, you can zoom out using the Zoom command here. And you see with the click enabled, I can now click on that glass. Perfect. I'm going to grab that glass. There you go. Now, the grass is selected and I can move it around. So you see, I just take it, and I'm going to put it about here. See if it works. Yeah. Could work. Maybe I could rotate it slightly, something like that. How about that? Does that look natural maybe? Does to me. All right. So I'm good with this, or maybe I would bring it closer because I have an idea. I'm going to add some text right here on my thumbnail, so maybe the glass could just be there, so I have more space to work with my text right here. So you see how I use Magic Grab twice to kind of reorganize my photo right here. And I love that it gives me so much flexibility to work with. Before this type of feature, I would not been able to use this particular photo that I love for creating a thumbnail. It just wouldn't be possible without cutting part of it. But with this, I can keep the same setting. I can keep everything the authentic scene, if you want, without having to recreate it with AI or anything like that. But I just moved things around and I scared things around, which is, to me, pretty impressive and very useful. Let me show you what the photo would look like. If I just add some text here, I have it already premade. So yeah, it could be something like this. I could slightly tilt it. But yeah, this looks pretty good to me. I could even lower I could align it with the floor. You see the floor right here. So I could have something like this and create a pretty good YouTube thumbnail. So there you go. That was the first use case I wanted to show you. Now, let's move over another use case. I'm going to stick with the YouTube thumbnail creation. You might find a photo like this one in the Canva library. Okay? Similarly, you would like to use this on a thumbnail, but if you scale it up, you see that it's just taking too much space. Also, the grandma here is holding her phone to take the selfie, but we see a big chunk of her hand right here. So how can we fix this with magic Grab? Well, similarly, select your photo, edit Magic Grab. I'm going to go with click one more time. Click on her, and you see what's going on here. Magic Grab doesn't select automatically the hand right here. It recognizes it as two different parts in that design, which actually is quite useful for me because I don't want the hand. I just want the grandma. Okay, so I'm going to grab her. There you go. I have her I believe I don't need the rest of the photo, so I'm going to delete it. I could have maybe background removed that, but I mean, you never know if you will need the rest of the thumbnail. So I'm going to do something like this and find another background. Going to my elements, element stab, I'm going to search for a warm yellow gradient background. Let's try to emulate and search into photos. Okay? So with photos, I'm going to go see O, and I'm trying to emulate the previous background that we had on that same photo, but just make it smoother because when I removed her from that background, it created kind of a weird spot where she was originally located. So let's go with this one. Right click on it, set images background. That looks cool. Now, again, if I wanted to create my thumbnail, I would have some text here. I can just grab that from page that I have here. So the text would look something like this. And now, what I could do with this image right here, I could flip it. Maybe I just flip it horizontally, have something like this, and there you go. Now I have a cool YouTube Samnil edging in style that could be useful for my channel if I was talking about Ashion, for example. So again, I thought this was a good use case of using magic grab to just grab an image. You like part of an image. You don't need the whole thing, so you can grab it and use it for a different composition. My favorite way to use Magic Grab is to use it for digital collage. With this tool, there is no more limit to what you can do with your photos. Let me show you an example. Okay, let's say you have a photo like this one. Okay, a group selfie, looks very normal, could be any person's family, and you kind of want to spice it up. Could be your family could make a joke in, you know, your family Whatsap group, grab one of these and add someone like a funky character in that mix of people. Alright. So first, you would need to find the funky character, okay? So continue in our direction of using the funky grandma, okay? We are going to go to the element stab and search for a funky grandma. You see, I already have search for funky grandmas in the past, so they are here under my photos, CO. Okay. So I could try to find a grandma that would fit nicely into this photo right here. Maybe this one could work because she's from the waist up, kind of like them. So this could work. This one could work as well. I could have her somewhere in the photo. I could have her. Let's go with this grandma right here. Okay. So now I want to demonstrate how you can grab a person from an image and bring it to another image, which could be very cool to create digital collage. Okay? And this would work with not only people, but also objects, graphics, anything really that you like on a specific photo, you can grab it and bring it to another one, which could make, like, really cool like digital art, digital collage. Me, I used to go to a physical collage class, and I loved it. So can't wait to start experimenting with this in Canva. Right, so I have this first image. What I will do is to select it and use the magic grab on this one. I'm going to start by selecting this grammar right here, the rock n roll grammar. Okay? So perfect. When I hover my mouse over it, it can select it all, so I'm going to grab her. There you go. She has been detached, so I can get rid of the background for now. And now I want to insert her on this photo. I need to scale her down a bit so it looks consistent with the other people, like the size of their size of their body. You see probably around this size. I don't see a way to make her fit perfectly without being in front of somebody else. So what I'm going to do, I'm going to leave her here for now, and I'm going to select the other photo and also magic grab it. Okay? So magic grab. There you go. Can I select the people individually? Yes. This is wonderful. Look, I can select this first guy taking the selfie with the phone, the first lady, the second guy right there in the back. The only thing I cannot select is his hand on that person's shoulder. So I'm going to grab her first. Okay, grab. You go. Now, I can move her around, okay? What I'm going to do is delete her. Now you see the hand has become some kind of horrible chicken feed. So I'm going to use another tool to get rid of that. Okay, Edit. Going to go with the magic eraser and zoom out a little bit, brush over this atrocity here and just get rid of it. Okay? We don't need that in our photo. Okay, it's going to look a bit mushy with the wall there, but don't worry too much because we are going to place grandma right here. So once I'm done, click the back arrow, and now it's time for me to grab Grandma. So first, what I can do is to set the first image as the background. There you go. Now, let's just operate the magic here. Bring grandma to the mix without. Okay, I cannot move more to the right right here, but it's okay. I can bring Grandma. I can turn her around slightly, like so. So she doesn't block the other guy right there too much, but she is definitely in our photo. So yeah, that is the kind of fun little collage projects that you can do with my obviously, this is a simple collage. You could really go more crazy with this and have an entire composition just really let your creativity run wild and find whatever you need in the library. That's the good thing about digital collage. You can search. Physical collage, you need to flip through these magazines and textures and stuff until you find something that might work. Here, you can actually search for the exact elements that you need and want to insert into your collage. So try it on, have fun with this. Magic Grab is definitely a fun feature. 11. Grab Text: Grab text allows you to select and edit the text in your photos with the help of AI. It's also part of the magic studio, and it's also only available to pay the users. What I suggest is that we jump straight into a quick demo so you can understand how it works. So Grab text will allow you basically to work from a photo. It could be a photo you have imported or like me, in this case, I have this photo from the Canva library. And you see this is an interesting photo, like it circles and it focuses on one specific word. What if I different word right here to fit my slide and my presentation or whatever I'm trying to do. Well, I can use Grab text for this and to change this specific word right here. So the first thing you need to do is to, of course, select your photo. Without the photo, select it, there is no way you can start this. So click on the edit button, and then look for Grab text in the magic studio. Okay? Should be right here at the beginning. Grab text. Click on it. Then we'll have the familiar two tabs. Okay. You can use the click. Let me zoom out a little bit here. So you see what's so Canvas AI recognizes all of the different text elements on that design, I would say. So you can select one specific one by clicking on it or you can select all of the text. Me, I'm going to click on the one that I want to change. This is this one actually. It goes a bit beyond than the word vision, but it's okay. I'm going to change this one right here. So clicking on it, then click on the grab button. Canvas AI is going to analyze this design and transform it so that your text is actually editable. You see now if I click outside on the other pieces of text, I cannot do anything. But this line right here, this one, I I'm going to change this vision for drive. Drive is the word I'm looking for. Now, you see the rest of the sentence, it's kind of like overlaying on top of something else in the background. So I'm going to delete, and then I'm going to reduce the size of this textbox, so it's actually nice and clean here drive. Okay. And you see the font kind of matches the other font. Maybe I can adjust this slightly. If I wanted to change the font, I can definitely do this as well. You see? I select it and I just go just like I would for normal textbox. It is a normal textbox. Come here and search for a different font, maybe times new Rama. Okay, let's try this. It'll bit too big. Yeah, this could work. So drive like that, you can create it's not the exact same photo but just like that, you can create a brand new design. You can group it. And now just simply scale this photo so that it matches your document, for example, perfectly, something like this. Or if you are going to use this in a presentation, you can now grab that image and use it wherever you want. So that's it really what there is to it. You can grab any piece of text from an existing photo, either from the library, one that you upload, even fonts, like if you screenshot or screenshot that you made from a present so let me show you another use case. I have a photo right here that I just took of my computer screen. I was visiting Canvas Landing page about Grab text because I research every single piece of material I can find before I shoot one of these lectures. And so I found this landing page with the limitations of Grab text. So I found that interesting. I just took a picture with my phone of my computer screen I just air dropped it to my computer. So this is the actual photo. I uploaded it into Canva, but this is the information that I wish to grab. I would love to grab this list of limitations and transform that turn that into I don't know, maybe carousel for social media or something I would list in my presentation. So instead of copying all of that text, actually, this piece of text right here on the landing page was not editable. I could not copy and paste it for some reason. So I took a photo and this could be a photo of something and your computer screen. Because obviously, when it's your computer screen, most of the time, you will be able to select the text and copy. But if you are walking in the street, you see a poster, you see a sign, maybe you want to grab it, or maybe you are at the library and you see a book and you just want to take a picture of a specific page because you want to grab that information. So this is a very cool application for this. So now I have this. Let's run Grab text. There you go. Here. I'm going to grab all the text. If I grab all, I will have all of that stuff here on top. So I'm going to be picky and select the ones that I like the ones that I want. Okay? So what I'm doing here, I'm not this one, selecting all of the points that I want. So the main title and all the bullet points. For some reason, they are not all in the same textbox, which is fine. And that is one of the actual limitations of grab text. It will not always perfectly recognize what the text is in your design. So Command X, this thing, o? You see how I deleted it from this page. I'm going to come to the next page and Command B to paste everything here. Going to quickly organize this because you see this is divided into four or five different text boxes. So I'm going to take them all from the bottom. And first, I'm going to justify everything to the left right here, and I'm just going to bring everything together here, o, under one main textbox so that it's cleaner. And yeah, it's just me being a bit OCD here and wanting to have everything well organized. Okay? So it's not going to take too long. The last one, let's say, it doesn't matter. So now this is where we are. Okay? We have the main text right here, and we have a list of bullets with our grab text limitation. Make that big so you can see it. Right, so this is where we are. Now, let's say we want to leverage this content. It's actually good content, educational content. Well, one way of doing so, you could very well go to the next page and explore under the design tab, I'm going to explore some templates. I'm going to look for Carusel or social media, yeah, the first one right self for social media. I'm looking for something that might have five or six different pages. I'm not going to do all of these bullet points, but something like this could be nice. You see, there's one. So there is enough for, like, a big title, and then some quick tips. Okay, this could work. I'm going to click on this, and I could apply all five pages to my document, but then it will delete the rest of the document. And then I have one more use case. I want to show you later. So I'm going to add the pages 1 by one. 12, three and four. We're going to go with four pages. For now, I just want to make a point here and show you how quick you can work with this. Next, I'm going to go and grab my title and just swap it for this one right here. We're going to do Command Shift V to paste this. Okay. What are the limitations of grab text? I could probably delete the WR and keep the limitations of grab text. Rights, yes, or even limitations of grab text. And I would love to have limitations of grab text. Okay, this is good enough, you're going to make that bigger, or if you want to maintain limitations of you can adjust the cutting of the words here, limitations of grab text. Okay, let's go with this one. I know it's not the ideal way of working to cut a word like this, but let's say it's not that important. The design is not that important. I just want to show you how to leverage that information. So let's find one that could work. You may experience temporary technical failures. Okay, let's just go with this. Again, select here, Command Shift V or you could just do Command B. I think that would work perfectly as well. And there you go. You may experience a temporary technical error while using this AI feature. Okay? Next, select another one. Doesn't really matter. Grab text tries to match the text in the image with a familiar style of font and position it correctly. Sometimes it doesn't work perfectly. That's true. Let's try to fit all of this here or maybe I fit it here. There seems to be more space here. Okay, that's a little bit so I could either try to enlarge this text box right here. So I have more space for my lines, and I think this will work. Okay. Sometimes I'm going to bring this one, like so. Okay, this is not too bad. What I could do, I could also use Magic write. You see, now I'm kind of moving away a little bit from the Grab text feature, but I want to show you a workflow. What are some practical ways you can use Grab text. So magic write, I'm going to shorten this, ask, Okay, replace. So here is the shortened version that Magic write wrote for me. Grab text attempts to match image text with a similar font and position it accurately, though it may not always work. So the meaning is exactly the same. It's just shorter. So yeah, that worked correctly. Then the last page that I need is this one. Okay, I need a short one here. I could always shorten it, so maybe this one. There you go. This one is short and sweet, so it will be perfect for this page. There you go. Yeah, perfect size. Right, so this is what I have f. So if you want to go even further and customize this further, for example, I'm going to select all of these slides right here. So the way I did that, selected the first one, all my shift key, selected the last one, and everything in between has been selected. I'm working right here in the Subnat view. And then go to my brancht, I can apply either my primary colors, my secondary colors, my neutrals. Let's go for neutral, something neutral right here. Okay. This looks. The style of that page has been changed. I could do the same process with the other pages very quickly, just clicking on them and then shuffling this neutral color palette right here. I just need to make sure my arrows. You see the arrows going from page to page are of the same color. And to accentuate these arrows, I could even use a different color. That would be the only pop of color on my page. So you see what I'm doing here is just select the different arrows on the design. So next page I should Color, then this one right here. Again, just very quickly, you can create some cool effects right here, and people will focus on these arrows. And since this is a carousel, it's actually very nice, and maybe we could have this title of my document in a bolder color. So now I have something on brand that I created in a couple of minutes. Let's say seconds if I was not demonstrating it to you with some content that I grabbed from a photo that I actually took from a website. There is one last thing I want to show you. It's not related to grab text, but it's related to this. You see this name right here, Connor Hamilton on all these four pages. Let's say I want to change that to Ronnie Hermosa, for example. So this Connor Hamilton, it came with the template, right? Same with really great site. I could just change that very easily. I'm going to show you a feature in Canva that will allow you to find text and replace it in your entire document. Okay? So the first thing I'm going to do is to copy this Connor Hamilton text. It's copied Control C. Go to Five and find a feature that's called Find and Replace text. Okay? So I want you Canva to find Connor Hamilton. I found four and replace it with Ronnie Hermosa. All right, so I typed my name right here, and I want to make sure I replace them all, not just the first page. So click on replace A, and you see all four matches were replaced. So now Ronnie Hermosa, like two, Ronnie Hermosa, three, four, Ronnie Hermosa. Do the same for the website, for the social, whatever. It's just a quick way of replacing a piece of information across your entire all right, moving back to grab text, there is one more use case that came to my mind that I thought I would demonstrate. It is kind of like editing text for confidentiality purposes. All right? So this is a screenshot I took from a YouTube comment. Somebody left us a comment on our YouTube channel. It's a very nice, flattering comment. That's why I chose it. But honestly, we receive a lot of very cool comments on the YouTube channel. So if you're not yet subscribe to that channel, I highly recommend you find us on YouTube at Team Rondi, and you will find our channel. So anyways, this is a comment, but what I want to delete from this photo is the last name of Yvonne. Okay? I want to protect Yvonne's confidentiality, and I think maybe having the first and last name is a bit too much, especially if I want to use this in a public way. So what I'm going click on it, edit text. Again, my grab text right here in the magic studio, and I can zoom out a little bit. So there you go. I want to click on this textbox. This is the one I want to edit. So I'm going to grab it. There you go. It's been grabbed. The only thing I'm going to change is the last name. So I could either delete it altogether, or I could just keep the first letter and abbreviate the last name. Maybe I give a bit more space here, and there you go. Even P. Now, this is much more confidential already. I'm going to group this. So that's just another quick hack that I thought I would show. And that's it for grab text. There's not that much to it, really. I believe it's a useful tool, but there are many other ways that you can grab text from a photo nowadays, the camera of your iPhone, for example. In the next lecture, we'll continue to have fun editing our photos with AI. But this time, we focus on a feature called Magic Edit. I will see you there. 12. Magic Edit: Magic Edit allows you to magically transform your photos with AI by simply brushing over the areas you'd like to modify and then describing what you want to add with a simple prompt. And that's exactly what I'm going to demo right now. Alright, let's start with this photo of DNI Ni in that elevator. Okay? So there is this line right here because I'm taking the photo in a mirror that was in that elevator and that mirror had a line. So first things first, you need to select your image, go to your edit button and then find magic Edit should be here. So click on it. And the interface of magic Edit is pretty similar to what we are used to with the other tools in Magic Studio. You have your brush that allows you to brush over any part of the photo you would like to replace. Okay, Edit. Or, you have your click, which will analyze the photo, just like the other features and let you click on the different subjects in that let's click on myself. Let's click on Ronnie. And let's use this prompt right here. Change T shirt for one with pandas. Okay, I would like to replace my cool T shirt with flamingos for one with pandas. I'm going to generate and magic edit is going to work. It's going to try to find the right panda and basically replace it on my shirt. You go, I have four different results right here. Let's go over them one by one. So this is one, not great. There are some pandas, but they're not looking that great. This one is a little bit better. I think this one is better, yet none of them are perfect. And the last one is a mix between flamingos and panda. Something to notice is that the light is slightly different on my face, you see, and on my arm, depending on which photo I'm using. So there's something going on with the entire image right here, not just the I'm going to go with this one, which is the one that looks the less weird. But we clearly see a difference. See, this line has definitely influenced the final outcome because on that side, it looks okay. On the other side, it looks like two different t shirts. So definitely the line didn't help here. Alright, so if you are not happy with this, you could generate again. Me, I'm going to move on because I don't think it's going to get any better than this, but do know that you can generate what else can you do? You can cancel from here that will bring you back to your selected or brushed over area. Okay. And you can clear. You can use that purple button right here to clear your selection as well. Now, I'm going to try something else this time working on Diana and working with the brush. I'm going to reduce that brush size, and I would like to create a nice hat for Diana. So I'm going to brush kind of like the area where the hat is going to. Okay. So you can change the brush size if you want to make it more or less precise. For me, it was already quite fine. So just make sure you brush over the area where your generated image is going to come. Okay, let's see like this. This kind of looks like a hat. So it will probably help the AI understand what I want. And my prompt is the following one. I'm going to replace this one, add a cowboy hat. Okay? Let's see. Cowboy hat for Diana. Go, few different cowboy hats are starting to show here like this one, little Sheriff hat. This one is more like a hat, but maybe somebody rolled over it with a tractor. I'm not sure. This one looks more like a Western kind of hat where people are just walking on dusty streets. I kind of like it. This one looks the most natural in the position that's been put on Diana's head. This one is well, but it looks a bit weird. So I'm going to stick with one. This gives you a good first glance at what you can do. Something to take into consideration, though, is that magic edit is not great when working with hands. That's why I didn't try to change the phone right here. Actually, I tried when I was prepping for this lecture, and I never could get the object right here to look right. I tried replace the phone for an ice cream. I never looked right. Replaced the phone for a flower arrangement or replace the phone for whatever. It never worked. So yeah, because and I believe the reason is because it's in my hand and the AI is still struggling with hands, faces, legs, body parts in general. So it's not really meant to be used on humans as far as I understand. Okay, let's move on to another photo. So this one right here, again, I'm going to select the photo, find the tool under my magic studio features. And I'm going to use the click this time. You see two different things. In this image, we have the frame behind the lady, o or the painting, the place that is painted on the wall. I'm not sure if it's a frame or just the wall then we have the lady, and then we have the camera. So again, I tried changing the camera because it was too close to her hands, it was almost impossible to get anything decent. So what I'll try to show you now is to replace this rectangle, this pink rectangle on the wall for something else. So here's my prompt replace for an abstract painting in a wooden frame. Okay? Let's try this. Okay, so I have four images that are quite similar, one from another, and I believe this one is probably the best one, but I also believe that the magic edit got confused. I wanted an abstract painting. Right? Abstract painting. It's right there in my prompt, but it seems like the end of the prompt, a wooden frame is mostly what has been considered there because the painting itself has the texture of a wooden plank or wood in general. So I'm going to try to change that. So replace for an abstract painting of a sunset generate. Let's see if it understands better if I just got rid of the word wooden that seemed to have confused the AI right there. There you go. We have different abstract paintings of a sunset. This time, this is a bit better. So this one is probably a sunset on the planet with two different suns. But there are some good ones. This one is not too bad. I like this one. This one could work as well. It's a bit childish. The sun is too elongated, like, it's not round, but this one looks nice. Okay, done. I'm going to go and fly with this. Now, one last thing I want to do with this photo, I'm going to use the click again and this time, select the lady because I want to try and change her outfit right here. So I'm going to click on her and then paste this prompt right here. Change for a yellow sweater. It was kind of like pale green. Let's go for a yellow sweater instead. Picked a color that would be more different from the original one, but I don't know why. Maybe to match the sunset behind in the frame, let's see. There you go. So this worked pretty well. From the first attempt, we have different yellow outfits, kind of different shades of yellow. This one being probably the one closest to the original. And then this one probably being the nicest one with the most intense yellow. Alright, so I think we got to a pretty good result with this image with this project, the sunset, and then change the color of the outfit. So I'm going to just do one last trick. So you start to get the point, right? It's not going to work always super fine. You will need to iterate, try again, maybe try the brush over the clicks. But for this guy right here, holding the flower pot, let's just try one last thing, okay, edit, go to the app, magic Edit. I'm going to get a pretty decent brush side, and I'm going to brush this time quite like randomly. I'm not trying to be precise here. I'm just brushing over this thing. Okay, so so you see, this is not precise work. It's just me brushing roughly over this orchid right here in the pot. And I'm going to use this prompt. Replace for a giant cheeseburger. Okay, let's go. Replace for a giant cheeseburger because this guy looks kind of hungry. There you go. A giant cheeseburger. That's the first one. That's actually the smallest one. I probably go for this giant cheeseburger. Now, that's a giant cheese burger. If you want to see a freaky cheeseburger, there you go with like, I don't know what that is or this one with a piece of marshmallow, maybe dessert. I don't know. Free dessert. Alright, so this probably is the best one, though, the slices of tomatoes and onions here look a little bit weird. So I don't know, two different kinds of meat, like, one that looks like a good one and one that looks like it has been on the thingy like, you know, the quickie mark roll with the hot dogs in the Simpson for a bit too long. So I would probably go with this one. This one is a nice cheese burger Egg seems. So yeah, let's stick to this one. When using magic edit, you will quickly notice that the tool is far from being perfect. It's actually quite rare for the AI to get your photo edit just right. However, you can improve your chances of getting it right with the following tips. Avoid adding flags, pieces of texts, faces, hands, as they might not look right when generated by the AI. Two, when modifying colors or material of an object in your photo, try using similar prompts like change jacket to blue or make the jacket look like it's made of fur. Number three, if you want to change the scene of an image or its entire style, you might as well brush over the entire image or select all of the objects in that. Number four, brush only over the area you want to change. Remember our example where we try to place the hat on top of Diana's head, I only brushed over the area where I wanted the hat to be. Number five, add one thing at the time and repeat the process if you wish to add more things to your image. Number six, avoid adding the size in the prompt. Brush a larger area instead. So, for example, don't write replace this with a large bird, but rather brush a larger area on your photo and then say replace with a. Number seven, restrain from trying to add celebrities or popular brands in your design because these might get blocked for copyright reasons. And that's it for magic Edit guys. Now, go have fun with it. 13. Magic Expand: Magic expand lets you fix awkward framing photos that are to zoomed in or even turn vertical shots into horizontal ones. It uses AI to recover, understand, generate whatever is just outside the frame. So it could be the tip of your head at your own risk, part of a landscape or anything really that you missed while taking it is a good feature. So only for pro teams, enterprise, educational and non profit plans. And that's it. Really, let's have a look at how it works. So the first use case I'm going to demonstrate to you is fixing a missing part of a photo you took. Okay? So this is a photo of me in Sydney relaxing after a hard day at Canva. And obviously, yes, there is part of this photo missing my head right here. I would love to have the rest of the photo. It's a bad self. Before I start, we'll simply duplicate this page because I want to be able to compare the before and after once my photo has been expanded. So I'm here on page two. I'm going to go edit and find the magic Expand tool right here. So the interface is pretty straightforward. You'll have two different tabs. By default, you will land on the Expand tool, but know that there is a crop tool as well, which is free this one. So the crop tool is not what we are about right here. We are about magic expand that actually uses AI. And from here, we'll have to choose how much of our photo we want to get back or to regenerate. So the first option is free form. So freeform means I can stretch this frame right here that I selected on the photo and basically stretch it in any direction. And this will generate whatever is inside this purple frame right here. So that is free form. I don't really typically use this method. Whole page is something I've been using quite a lot. Okay? So this will just generate whatever's missing on that page. One by one could be more appropriate for this photo right here. Why? Because as you see, it's keeping the dimensions of the photo, but I'm not asking the AI to generate too much. So all of this right here, if I picked, whole page, there is a lot more to generate. So that means much more room for mistakes or hallucination or really, like crazy stuff going on. So, the more you ask it, the less likely it is to be well done. Unfortunately. And then you have a variety of different aspect ratios that I'll let you discover for yourself. So me, what I'm going to do is to select the one by one aspect ratio. So I keep the same document aspect ratio, but I'm not asking the AI to generate too much. So once you're done, click on Magic Expand, and yeah, it should start expanding your photo. So there you go. My four photos have been generated for me. This is the first one. Okay? So I see that there are some stuff being invented there. The side of my face looks okay. If nobody tells you, you wouldn't know I generated side of my face. Let's have a look at the second one. Yeah, this one looks weird. So this one, we could see that something weird is going on here. Third one, Okay, why this big thing here seems like there is a curtain right next to me. So no. And one, this one could work, though I'm not sure what that is, but it's actually better. Like, this part of the picture right here, it's better than the first one where it added some sort of another weird building. Terms of reconstructing my face, so to speak, picture number one and picture number four did a better job. So I think I will go with picture number one right here and also the side of the cocktail right here. If we look at the original photo, this was also cropped. So now we have the original, this one, and then we have the reconstructed the expanded photo, which is this one right here. So apart from this, I mean, if we crop this building right there, we could have something actually decent here. I could set this as a background, move it down a bit. And now we have this. Let me set this one as a background or quickly. Yeah, this one, as the best I could get from this one is this. But then if I want the whole thing, like the whole cocktail and my whole face, you see it did a pretty good job at it. Okay, let's move on to my example number two. This time, I'm going to be using an illustration. This is still a photo. It's not a graphic, but it's an illustration, okay? So it's drawings, not a real photo. So similarly, going to click on it, go to Edit, and then find the Magic Expand tool, and there you go. Okay, this time, I'm going to go for the whole page and see just how good or bad this will be generated. Magic expand. There you go. I have four iterations right here from the get go and from the preview here, I don't think any of these will work. So this is the first one. It took the liberty of adding some sort of a table behind my illustration. Second one right here has some writings on it that look like Russian. I don't know what that is. Third one, also, there's a wall. It seems like this is kind of like hanging from the ceiling with some clams right here. And the photo has lost in quality, definitely. And the last one, also some writings is a weird kayak. Right there, I'm not sure or fish, I'm not sure. But the bottom line is that none of these four pictures actually work for me. So the original one, okay, once again, this kind of cute, you know, it looked good. But what I got from Magic Expand was definitely not good enough. Alright, so not great for working with illustration. Let's try with this. Let's try with this photo of Arnold Schwarzenegger in terminator I believe this was or terminator one. Not sure. Let's see if Magic Expand, lets me generate the lower part of Arnold right here. And most importantly, let's see if it lets us modify this photo of a celebrity because this is not supposed to work. So let's see if my intuition is right. Okay, let's go to Edit and then find the tool one more time. Magic Expand. Doesn't really matter. Let's see. I just want to have let's go for a whole page and see if this works. It didn't work, and instead, I got this. So I got four exclamation points. Some of the result may not meet our policies. Okay? So this is exactly what I was kind of like assuming that it wouldn't work because I'm using the photo of a celebrity. So the AI probably recognized this was Arnold Schwarzenegger and sent a trigger to Canva just understanding this is copyrighted material, so we cannot modify. So this kind of went according to plan. And so far, not super enthusiastic about magic expand, but I still want to test it a bit deeper to see if there is anything really I can do with this feature. For example, it promised me that I could turn a vertical shot into a horizontal one. So can I do this with this shot right here? This comes straight off my iPhone, okay? It's a selfie that I two days ago, let's see if I can expand this to the entire horizontal canvas that I'm working with here. My image is selected. Going to go to edit, find the tool and just go for 16 by nine. So this should generate everything else that's missing on that picture. I am scared. I don't know how this is going to deal with the wall. I mean, it should be straightforward. It's a plain wall. There's no shelves. There's no frame hanging on that wall. There's nothing really. So let's see this is not going the right direction. I can tell you. There is still hope for me. Let's see the third and the fourth and last one right here. Oh, so the first one, definitely no because there is another dude right there that looks like Mario. I'm not sure. Second one, I mean, this is not too bad, but I would still have to reframe to get rid of this, get rid of this. Now, third one is interesting. This is really not good. And then the fourth one is probably the only one that is decent, but just barely decent because there's problems here and they're at the bottom of the image. So this is definitely not good enough for me. That's what I feel. But also, we kind of have to admit that we haven't played by the rules that Canva recommends. We don't mess with images that have faces, hands or transparent background in them as they may not work well when expanding. So here, there was a face, and in many of the photos I tried to work with, there were faces, except for the illustration. But yeah, so let's try to play by the rules, okay? We have this photo, this square photo of a forest with some nice lighting right see if we can get something decent out of this photo when we expand, okay? So this would be my last shot, I think, because if this doesn't work, then I don't think anything will work. Okay, so let's go for the whole page again and see if we can get something good out of this. So there you go. I have my four images. The first one is not great. It's quite blurry on the edges, and then it has this almost text right here at the bottom. Second one also quite blurry on the edges, but could work. Third one, we are getting closer, still quite blur on this side. And the last one, I tried to create a road here. Could work. I feel like the third one is the most decent of them all. Okay? So this did a better job than working with faces and people, but I'm still not convinced. So let's have an ultimate last one. I know I said the previous one was going to be the last one, but I want to work with something a little bit more abstract to see how it deals with that. Let's see. I'm curious about this one, but then I promise I will stop generating images. So okay, let's go. Alright, so my four images are ready. First one doesn't work, but this one could work. I mean, this one did a nice job at, like, diffusing the light nicely to the side. This one as well, and this one as well. All right, I am going to leave it here because by now, you probably got the point. My verdict? Well, I think that magic expand is a solid idea, one that has a lot of potential for designers. But that is a major butt. Let's be honest. The models that Canva is using to generate the missing parts on these photos just aren't quite there yet. And the fact that you can't reliably use it on people, that's a huge limitation for me who uses a lot of visual, especially for my own personal brand. If Canva can fix these two issues, better models and make it work on people, then we would be looking at a seriously great tool. Until then, it's nice to have, but definitely not a game changer for me. 14. Class Project: Guys, congratulations on finishing this class about Magic Studio. Now, for your class project, and this is an important step of this class, do not skip the project. So I have two options for you. And these options will depend on whether you have a paid Canva account or a free Canva account because I am aware that most of the magic studio features are for paid users. Only. So let's start with paid users because it's most likely you are paid users if you follow this class. So paid users, I challenge you to create a design that is useful for you. That's always very important for me. I don't want to give you a random project. I want you to create something that is useful for you, but using at least one of the features of Magic Studio. So that could be creating a photo collage. With features like magic Grab, magic Edit, or magic eraser, for example, like I showed you in the course, that could be creating generating photos with dream lab and then creating a composition or specific design with the other magic studio features really up to you. And the process is very straightforward. You create that design, then you export it, and you upload it to the class project section. I will make sure to go there and visit this section regularly to leave you some feedback on your design. You can also ask me for specific feedback if you want in the description of your now, if you are a free Canva user, meaning you don't have access to all of these features, but you still do have access to Dream lab. So dream lab is the image generation tool. I covered that in the beginning of the class. You still have 20 credits every single month to play around with Dream lab. So your project, if you're a free user, is to generate at least one photo with Dream lab, and then you screenshot your prompt and you have your output, your generated photo, put that together in the same page, export that page and upload that in the project section of this class. So yeah, very simple paid, free. Everyone can participate. I will have a look for sure. I will let you know what I think, and yeah, that's what you need to do. Now, if you are interested in learning more about Canva, make sure to visit my Skillshare profile, as I have 20 plus other classes right there waiting for you. I will see you there.
