1. Welcome to Class: Canva is awesome and now you can edit videos in
Canva for free. In this course,
you're going to learn all the basics of
editing video in Canvas, but with a focus
on youtube videos. My name is Kyle has slope
and I'll be your guide. I added my own YouTube videos
as well as my courses here, and I'm excited and Kim and now offers video editing for us all. Once you complete this course, you'll be able to
edit any video in Canva and you'll learn
a few tricks I use on YouTube so you can
keep your audience engaged past that crucial
first thirty-seconds, we'll cover creating a
project, importing video, trimming clips, adding B-roll, adding titles and texts, using transitions and infects, had a music and sound effects, adding graphics,
creating custom intros, outros and screens, and
exporting your finalized video. So if you're looking for
a simple, sophisticated, and free editing
video software for videos, YouTube or otherwise. Then this course is for you. Great. See you for our first
lesson, coming right up.
2. First Things First in Canva: So the first thing we wanna
do is go to canva.com, CAN va.com. You can
see right here. Now, I have two accounts. One, I use quite often and
that's my pro account. I pay for it because I definitely think
it's worth the money. But today we are going to
focus on a free account. I put my picture
up here for you. This personal account,
all you need is an e-mail and it only takes a few
seconds to get started. So if you haven't
done that already, I suggest going for it. Once you have your account
and you're on canva.com. Let's go over here to our
top menu, our main menu. When you see we have a
lot of choices across here because Canva
does so much stuff. But today we are going
to focus on videos. So click here on video. And then you'll see you
have several other options. Now, when it comes to YouTube, they're typically two
choices of video format. One, or shorts, which
would be mobile video. And then the other
option are what we call long-form video, which are in a
horizontal display. Notice, as I go from
here, this video, we have 1920 by 1080 pixels. And over to mobile video, we have 1080 by 1920, they're essentially
the same size, but a reversed aspect ratio. So if you want to create shorts, you can come right
here and do that. Remember, these are videos
that are under 60 seconds or our more traditional
long-form videos right here, 1920 by 1080. This is what you want to create in and then export in because that's the standard video
aspect ratio for YouTube. So let's go ahead and
click right here. And we have our studio area
that we can play around with. In the center is our canvas. This is where we can look at our video and see how
things are working. On the left, we have a
lot of options here, which I'll go over in a moment. And then down here
at the bottom, we have our timeline. This is essentially
where we will put our video and we can scrub back and forth and
make adjustments. And then right up
here at the top, as we manipulate or as we choose different things
on our timeline. We can come up here and further manipulate settings and effects. Let's go back over here on the left and take a look
at what we have. Now, your screen may look
slightly different than mine. If it does, all you
need to do is click on More and you have, as they say, more options. So you might not yet
have videos if you don't go ahead and click
on these three dots. And videos should be
an option for you. So let's start the
top templates. We can use templates for
things like intros and outros, which we will get to later. And they also come in
handy when making shorts. Now, elements is something
I use very often. And just for a quick example, let's type in the word hearts. Let's say we wanted to use a
heart for whatever reason. Notice, these are hearts
that you can use. But as we scroll further down, if you see a little crown here, these are only for pro accounts. If you use it, there is
a watermark over it, which would not look good if
you use it in your videos, all you need to do is click
Delete and it will disappear. So let's click out of that. Come to all these more
later, we have uploads. This is where you can upload
your videos or images, other files, texts
where you can create all sorts of different
textiles and fonts. Audio to where you can add
music and sound effects, which is crucial to
a YouTube video. Videos themselves here
where you can actually use stock footage
here, and then more. When we can specifically
look for your photos, styles, backgrounds,
charts, folders, and a ton of other stuff. Because again, Canva is
much more than just video. But ladies and gentlemen,
what I would do now before we get into the meat and
potatoes of this class, go and open your Canvas account and start following
along with me. If you don't already have
an account yet, get one. It only takes an email account
in a few seconds. Okay. I'll see you in the next video.
3. Import Video to Your Timeline: So once you're here, the next thing we wanna do is
give your project a title. So let's just say our title for today is our demonstration. And click Enter that way. Next time you access your files, you can easily find what
you're looking for. And in order to import clips, all you need to do is come
over here to the uploads. And you could click Upload
Media and it will go to, let's say your download area. And then just double-click
and it will upload. Or what is a little bit easier? It just go directly to your
file right here and just drag and drop and it'll
immediately start to upload. I've already done that. I have in a minute and
54 second recording. And this is titled demo
first thirty-seconds. We are going to
look at an example, first thirty-seconds
for a YouTube video because the first
thirty-seconds is crucial. And we're going to edit
down this minute and 54 seconds to a workable, entertaining, hopefully
effective and successful 30-second intro. So once we have our video uploaded, you have
a few options. You can just double-click
and it immediately pops up here in our work area. Or let's just delete
it by clicking Delete. If you drag your file right
into the first slide, it'll automatically
pop up and propagate to the aspect ratio
of your Canvas. Okay, now let's just
pause for a moment. Once we have our video inside, we can adjust and
manipulate a few things. Now, if you want
to take this out, this video out of where it
is and just right-click. And we can come down here to detach video from background. And we'll essentially get this. Now. That's fine. You might need this later and you can just
get things right back in place by moving it and then adjusting down here and
it'll fit perfectly. Another interesting
thing is you can manipulate things
back and forth by cropping from the edges up here that can really
come in handy later. And let's say you have
more than one video. You can add video within video, and let's just click on here. And again, we have this video moving and we
can manipulate it. Because who knows
what you might wanna do with your YouTube channel? This is a great function and
it's really easy to use. And again, you have the
same manipulation options as you do with any other video. So let's get rid of that. Click delete, and it's gone. Now let's come down,
right down here. If you see this
option right here, we have our Zoom page. We have a top and a bottom. Now at the top is
outlined in black. We can scroll and
manipulate our screen. This is just to make
things easier for us to see and work with. If we click at the bottom, this is our timeline. Notice or timeline is
stretched out to the entirety, entire length of our
videos recording. We can stretch that out further. Let's make it a little smaller. If we make it smaller, we can manipulate things a
little bit easier. This will come in handy. Multiple tracks
on your timeline. So let's go back up
and click on our top. And if we scroll to
right about here, and I'm going to double-click, this will come in handy later. If you double-click,
you're able to adjust the size of your screen. So if you're recording in a
higher resolution like for k, and we're going to
export in this ten ADP. You can zoom in and out, which we'll see in
our next video. So let's just scroll back and move things around to
where they originally were. And there we go. This is how you can import your video to your
timeline and make the necessary adjustments so it fits on screen
the way you'd like. Furthermore, we
can adjust sound. If we've clicked on our video, on our Canvas will have this sound icon and you
can just click on here. You can manipulate
the intensity, the game, let's
say, of your audio. And hypothetically,
let's say you have, like I mentioned
earlier, a video. In video, this is
something we'll work on a little bit later
with what we call B-roll. If you want to mute
a particular video, you can click on that video
and hit the mute button, so you're not
competing with Sam. Let's get rid of that. To follow along. Why don't you grab one
or two of these videos? And you can put them in
your timeline and you can follow along with me as we go throughout the
rest of this course.
4. Cut Clips & Tidy Up Tracks: The next step you want to take
is to remove any footage, mistakes or pauses
that don't fit. And the way we do
that is first of all, we might want to hit play
and just go throughout your video and identify what
areas you want to cut out. Now you can either push
the play button here. Let's scrubber back over here, grab our arrows are scrubber. Let's start from the beginning. I'll push play. Notice that I'm up
here turning on my phone, my phone's camera, push play for corner
first thirty-seconds. That's on me talking to you. Remember we were doing
our first thirty-seconds on our YouTube video. One of the most crucial
parts of a YouTube video. And we can also, instead of
pushing the play button, just press R space-bar and
notice it plays as well. So we're looking for
the part where I speak and it's the best
take, learning how to use. Alright, so it's
right about here. I'm going to scrub just back a little bit
right about here. And if you want to cut, we want to make a
cut right here. We can either right-click
and hit Split page. And we've made our cut. Let's push play and use. Alright, I'm going to go back. Make another cut
right about here. Now I told you that we
could right-click and click the Split page or your shortcut is this S. Let's
try that out right here. I'm going to scrub
right about here. And I'm going to
hit the S button. And we've done essentially
the same thing. Let's go ahead and push Play. Learning how to use it. Alright, That's right
about where I want to be. Now, if you really
want to get more granular a little closer in, let's click on earth or
Zoom thumbnails right here. We can zoom in a
little bit more. And we can just hover over here. Notice we are mouse
changes in them. If you just hold it down, we can scrub in and
out a little bit more. So let's say right about
here, we'll push play. Learning how to use editing software can be
like pulling teeth. It's painful and takes awhile. Alright, I got that. One down. Pretty good. Let's mark this off. We're going to cut
here as well and click S. Now that seen, that clip is where
we're going to begin these first
two we don't want. So all we need to do
is click on one of them and hit Delete
button and it disappears. Other one we don't want
click on it, hit Delete, and it disappears is, and
this is where we begin. Let's go back to the
beginning and push play. Learning how to use editing software can be
like pulling teeth. It's painful and
it takes awhile. Alright, now let's go throughout
the rest of our clip. That's what I'm going to do now. At the moment, we
have a total of a minute and 32 seconds. Remember, this
particular section, thirty-seconds is
what we're going for. So I'm going to go ahead and
edit those out right now. Okay. So you can see
down here that I've made several cuts and I have
several different slides, about six to be precise, and I've edited down to 27 seconds and that's
just about perfect. We might add in a few
whistles and bells. As we go through a
few more lessons, it looks like we're
really on track. Now. One thing I
wanted to tell you is I've got a pro tip for you. Let's say some point where you're in your
editing process. Let's say right here,
you make a mistake. And let's say we, we cut here and it's not
what we wanted to do. Maybe you've deleted something you didn't want to do that. You can easily undo
things really quickly either by scrolling right
up here and clicking the Undo button and look,
it undoes everything. Or let's go back here. I'll put another cut in
here, another slice. If I want to undo it, you can either click
on the Control Z, depending on your
computer or Command Z. I'm on a Mac and I'll hit Command Z and things are undone. This is definitely
something you're going to use more than once. So make sure you know
these shortcuts. Now the final thing
I suggest doing, notice as we go from
one cut to the other, we have what's called a jump cut or a hard cut and it
doesn't look natural. So I'm going to push play. And you're also going
to see a bit of a white shot in-between
scenes, which is natural. You will not see that
on your final product. I'm going to hit the spacebar
for play and takes time. But today I'm going to make your learning experience
comfortable in quick. Alright, now those white
scenes are natural, as I said, they will be cut out, but they're there
to show you that there has been an edit to make things look a little
bit more professional, what I suggest doing is
re-sizing each of your slides. So I'm going to go onto
this particular slide, and I'm going to
double-click here. And I can manipulate
things a little bit more. I'm going to come in
right about here. Now when I do this, when I go from slide to slide, I'm going to go from here. It's a little bit larger. And maybe I can make
this one particularly large by doing the same
thing, double-clicking. I'm going to make
this one even bigger. I'd like my eyes to be
in about the same space. So it's going to look a
little more like you have potentially multiple
cameras filming in asthma, go painful and tags time. But today I'm going to make your learning experience
comfortable and quick. Because I'm gonna do
the same thing here. I'll double-click. I might
do a similar portion. Similar thing that
we had earlier, a little bit small
into the center. Go to this particular one. I'm going to get a larger double-click and center
really large zoom in right about here. Makes sure that your face and your eyes sort of match
up about the same area. And you can use these
grid lines to do that. Scrub over here. I'm going to get myself in
the center a little bit. And then final one, let's make it a
little bit larger. Here. And there we go. Now, as we go from
slide to slide, the camera angle, we'll zoom in and out with these jump cuts. And it'll look a little
bit more natural. It will seem a little
bit more professional. It'll be an overall
better video. Okay, I'll see you
in the next lesson. And this one's going to be on something special called B-roll.
5. Bring in Your B-roll: So what I've learned is
that it's better to show, not tell at the beginning
of your YouTube videos. And B-roll is a great
way to do that. What B-roll includes is video on top of your main
content right here. So what we're going to do
here is put in a few clips over my main content where
you can hear me speaking. But we're going to have a visual component to
what we're listening to. So let's listen to the
first five seconds. And can you guess what
we're going to overlay? Here are the 1.5th, 55 seconds. Learning how to use editing software can be
like pulling teeth, it painful and takes time. Okay, so we're going to split
this into three segments. Let's do that now. And we'll, I'll hit
the spacebar to start and stop learning how
to use editing software. And we'll stop there learning how to use editing software. Stop there. Now,
the next section. It can be like pulling teeth. Can be like pulling teeth. Could put an S here is we are, we have our three sections. Now if I go over to video, there are lots of options
that you have with video. However, as far as copyright
goes and usability, I'll touch on that
in just a moment. But I've selected,
I've pre-selected three video clips to go
over an overlay on here. So I'm going to
go to my uploads. I've uploaded these
specifically. I'm going to put this on our
first one, video editing. So instead of just
putting it into the timeline here like we did our main footage, I'm
going to grab it. I'm going to put it right
over on our Canvas. Now, you can do all
kinds of things here. You can move it, manipulate it, have video
on video if you want. But that's not what
we're doing today. What I want to do is we've
got clipped down here, see that it's stretched things
out to the full amount. I'm going to click on this. And we're going to
click on the scissors. And we need to get it down to its bare essentials. I'm
going to click on here. And we can manipulate
the beginning. Let's push pause. Can manipulate here at the
beginning and here at the end. So I'm going to just scrub
this all the way back to, let's say just a
fraction of a second. So we have about 1.8 seconds that we want
to include right here. So we're going to scrub
it to about 1.8 seconds. And let's say right about here. And we can also just hold and manipulate things like this. But I think this clip we'll
be fine just as it is. So I'm going to put this 1.8 seconds and I'm going to
adjust the frame size. Now this is where I want you
to pay attention because there's a little
problem that comes in here and we have
a work around. What normally we would
do is we would adjust it to fit the entire size. And we'll come back
here and route. We should listen and
hear the voice-over. And when I push play,
nothing happens. Actually, the main footage has been by default deleted and
this can be quite annoying. So what we're going to do, I'm going to right-click
here and I'm going to detach this video
from the background. You can see that
my video has been deleted and we can't do,
we can't have that, right? So let's click our Command Z and go back to where
we were earlier, and we have our video back. Now, here's our work-around. This is what we're going to do. We're going to
switch videos here. I'm going to take
my main footage. I'm going to
right-click on it and detach this from the background. Now, I want to make this video, our B-roll actually
on the background. I'm going to re-size it here and put my main video in
the middle, in the center. And we can now see them both and listen to me
speak, learning how to use. Alright, great. But
it's not going to work, of course, if I'm here in
the middle of the screen. So here's our work-around. We're going to come
up right here to our transparency and
just scroll to 0. So there is complete
transparency. You can't see the main footage. You can see our B-roll that's
attached to the background. And let's see how it sounds. Learning how to go. That is our work-around. Now we're going to
go to our next clip. Okay, So I'm going to click
on my second clip here. That's 1.7 seconds. Now we have our video here. I want to bring this one in. So again, I'm going
to drag it in. It's in the center, but we
have the same issue as well. So it's taking the entire
video and it's, it's moved. It's changed the
length of this slide. So we need to crop it
down to 1.7 seconds. Click on our scissors
here. Click pause. I'm going to do the same thing, bring it down to
1.7 seconds, go. And if we push play, the hand comes in with a glove. That looks good. I like that. Now we have our same
issue with this clip. We need to do is click. On our main footage,
right-click, detach. Then we want our
video, our B-roll. And you can always reposition things here by moving forward or backward just in case things
working differently for you. But I'm going to resize things. And when I resize
them by default, this image will be attached
to the background. That was our problem that earlier video will attach
to the background. Now, we've got our 1.7 seconds. We've gotten me in the front. All I need to do is click
on our main footage and take it to a 0
transparency, right? That one's done. And then our third one, or third clip is 1.9 seconds. I'm going to click on this one. I'm going to take this really
interesting shot here. I'm going to drag it on top. We need to crop things
down to 1.9 seconds. Let's do the same. 1.9
seconds right about here. Go through the same process. I'll click on my main footage, right-click detached
from background. Now it's in front. I'll
click on my B-roll, which is in the back. Now. Scale it to fit. Click on main footage again. 0 transparency. Now let's see how things sound
and look at the beginning. Here we go. Learning how to
use editing salt. It can be like
pulling, takes time. The audio seemed to cut off, but when you export it, everything will sound great. I'm going to show
you what I mean. I'm going to export that now. We'll get to the
exporting process later. It's real simple. But
when you do export it, it will look like this. Learning how to use editing software can be
like pulling teeth. It's painful and takes time. Okay, Now I do have a few
things to talk about as far as using videos on Canvas go. When it comes to videos
that are offered on Canva, you do have a large
range of selections here and you can also search in
here for something specific. So let's just say I type
in B. I loved the beach. So let's type in beach. Now, here are some options here. The problem is that you need to be careful as far
as copyright goes. You have three options here. If we click on any
particular video, if we hover over any
particular video, we have these three dots. This one is specifically if we click here, this one's free. Some of them are free.
And if you click on the I for information, well, here you can use this particular video in Canva for personal
or commercial use, and you can also use it
on social media as well. But there are a few
restrictions here. However, if you want something
that's on the pro level, you click on these three buttons and if you want to use it, you can use it for
a onetime only use. Now I'm in Korea at the moment, this is in lawn, but this is about $5. In different videos, might
have different amounts. These particular ones
seem to be about $5 each. I've seen some that are
a little bit cheaper. But if you want to use
these for unlimited videos, get the full range of options. Here on Canva, you
would need to purchase their pro account and pay somewhere around
12, $13 per month. So before using
any Canva videos, make sure that
you're aware of what you're using and
make sure you know the copyright boundaries
for each video that you happen to use in
your YouTube videos.
6. Add Titles & Text: There are almost an
unlimited number of options you have when it
comes to text in Canva, if we scroll over here
to our text option, we have our basic texts and I'm just going to
show you real quickly. We have a larger font, a middle font, and
a smaller font. And all of these can be manipulated simply
by clicking in here, you can double-click to change the actual words, for example, GGG, or just click inside and you can
change the font style. There are about a
million and one choices in here, almost unending. Just click on what
looks good to you. And you can also
adjust the font size, either clicking here and giving it a number
you can type one in, you can type plus or negative
to slightly change it. Or you can just come
right over here and hold one of these corners
and adjust like that. So there are a lot of
options for adjusting. Let's get rid of these
are going to highlight these three click Delete. And you also have a number of preset
templates to choose from. A lot of these are
free, but some are not. So keep in mind
that ones that do not have a crown
are free to use. And the ones that
do have the crown are only on the paid program. So we could use
this for example, and we can manipulate
each little section here. So you have a lot of options. However, keep in mind, if we do have a section, I'm going to click on this
particular section here, the first part where
I'm actually on camera. And let's just say
I'm going to use, let's look for a free one. Let's, this will work, I guess. And I put text into
this particular slide. It will take up
the entire slide. So you'll probably want to
do is find exactly where in each slide that you
want the text to begin and end and
make cuts there. And that's what we're going
to do in just a moment. So I'll click Delete. Now
let's listen to this. The second, third slides you can hear follow
along with me. It says because Canvas
editing package is simply a sophistic. Alright, so it was hard to hear, but it says canvas
editing package is simple yet sophisticated. I want those words to
pop up quickly in here. And then it takes
the best of all. He didn't hear it,
but it's still there. Potentially, best
of all, it's free. So I'm going to
put in simple yet sophisticated each word
individually here. In order to do that, let's go back to our
Zoom thumbnails here. I've got the timeline selected, and I am going to make the slides a bit larger so
they're easier to manipulate. I'm going to go all the
way, all the way over. Let's let's do that. Why not? So, let's listen
again right here. I want simple, yet
sophisticated, simple. I'll be right about
here and click pass. Yet sophisticated probably,
right about here. Okay? So we're going to add
simple right here will take some texts and let's go
ahead and go to the top. Make this easy. We're going to choose
the one in the center. Hi, I'm going to
choose font style. I usually like Mont
block type in MOSFET. We have Montserrat extra bold. Let's use that. We'll just do all lowercase,
highlight everything simple. I want this to show up at
the bottom of the screen. And I'm going to drag it, will make it not this size. It sounds like a good size. Click it and get it right here. Now what's really cool too. You also have the option of changing the color right here. And this isn't really not
the color I'm looking for. I think white is going
to stand out best. You also have the
option to animate. And this is really interesting. There are lots of presets
under the basic options. I'm going to click my arrow and I like breathe and
click on that. We've got simple. And I'm going to copy this. I'm going to highlight it. I'm going to command C.
I'm going to go over here to my next slide. And I'm going to hit Command V, which is paste, double-click
and sophisticated. And it has the same
burry the fact, so when we scroll here, it will pop on screen. We had statistic. And then I want, but it's free over
here as the ball is. I'm gonna put three right here. I'm going to give it a
cut. Oops, right here. I'm going to click S. I'm going to also click in here control V. We
have the same thing. Now I'm going to type free. It's free specifically. I'm going to make it a little
bit larger for emphasis. Get it in the center. I want to change my effect. Let's go here. Let's do
something a little different. How about let's go
with this pop option. Under scale. I'll click pop. There we go. It pops, and it's free. So let's go ahead and
I'm going to export this and show you what it looks
like once it's been exported. So you can actually
see the effects. Okay, here it is, and
then scale it down a little bit so you
can see, alright, and I'll push play, yet sophisticated and potentially
best of all, it's free. Okay, and this of course, will go away when we
go to our next slide. Now, there are a
few extra things that are pretty interesting. I have a few tips for you. So let's scroll over to another slide and we'll
just play around with it. So when you're in a slide
and you want to add text or shortcut is simply
clicking the letter T, T, and then you get
texts on your screen. You can keep that in mind. So let's adjust this a little
bit and let's say example. And perhaps you could
say This is your name. Let's say if you wanted
to put some sort of lower thirds or these
are upper thirds, Let's say Actually, why don't, why not change it will
put my name in here. Cow has slept. Okay. That's pretty big. It's like a little bit smaller. And two other shortcuts
that are pretty nice. You can use a rectangle here
by typing R for a rectangle. And you can, of course, manipulated in so
many different ways. You can change the color. Let's say we wanted to
do a black background. I can put it right here. And this is already behind
my name, which is fine. You can of course,
change positions. You can change position
here by moving it forward, moving it backward, and so on. What's also cool is if you press the letter C, we get a circle. We can move it over here and
all kinds of things that we can do suggests
that a little bit. Let's make it purple. Now. Let's make it orange. I'm going to highlight
this text, copy and paste. Now, what's interesting
with this text, you can make an effect to
where you can curve your text. And by manipulating a
little bit like so. You can have it somewhat fit a circle in here and
just something to know, something that you might
want to use later. You can spin things
around like so. So you have a lot of
options here in Canva. I'm gonna get rid of this. And I'd want to let you know that you also
can animate these as well. They can come in, click
the Animate button. I can pan. We can also animate the
rectangle in the background. Let's say we want to give
it some sort of a fade. There we go, pop. And this is sort of
what you'll see is pretty interesting
and pretty helpful. So these are some
great effects that you can use in your videos. Go ahead and give
them a try before we move on to our next lesson.
7. Enhance with Transitions & Effects: Now we can add a few
transitions and effects. By now I'm sure you've
noticed the plus sign that pops up right here when we
hover in-between our slides. Now you have two choices. A plus sign will add a
page just like this. That will come in handy in so many different ways when you want to add or make adjustments. But we're not going to
use that at the moment. So let's just delete it. Instead. What we can do is
add a transition. Now, I want to make a
transition between my show, not tell area right here in my talking head when I begin
speaking to the camera. So if I hover in the center
and I click right here, we have add transition. If we click on that, we have a few options. By default it's nine. But if we hover over these, this is what we'll get. We'll get a
transition like this. Now, this is my opinion. But a slide transition, a circle wipe and align wipe. Don't look that professional. Dissolves do look pretty good. So I'm going to
click on dissolve and you notice that we
have another option here. We can slide back and forth
and adjust the duration. Not only that, if you want, you can also apply this
particular transition to all of your pages simply by
clicking this button here. But we're not going to do that. We're just going
to click dissolve. Notice we have a new
symbol here that tells us a transition has been
added to our timeline. So we can click Play and we can see the blur transition from
one slide to the other. Not only that, I have a few tips and tricks to show you when it comes to special
effects, let's say, so. Let's say we're going
to add a clip here. And just for
demonstration purposes, I'm going to go to video. And let's choose
this beach video. I'm going to put it in here and resize it so it snaps
to the background. Okay, so we've got
our beach video. We of course can adjust the
size by scrolling in and out. I don't just make it
right about here. Now, this video, we can change the mood by
adding a color overlay. And all we need to do is hit
the button on your keyboard. And we've got a rectangle. We can resize it like so. And then we can
adjust the color. Let's say we want to give
it more of a warm feeling. So I'm going to click on
the pH or the orange. Let's go with orange
and then we'll go to our transparency and
adjusted only slightly. So this is what it
looks like originally. We can give it a
slightly warmer feeling by adjusting the transparency,
let's say to 20. And you can do the
opposite and give it a colder feeling by coming
up to our color again, clicking on blue, and
we've got a colder look. Now you can also add
other colors as well to give them distinct looks. And it's something that
can come in handy when you want to be more
visually creative. Now, let's say we're going to go with a warmer look here. Great. After this, you also have
the option to fade to black. And you can do that
basically anywhere. You can put it in
between clips by clicking a page and
coloring it black. And have a fade into this. And you can adjust the
timing here as well. But we're going to do
something a little different. Let's say we're at the end
of a particular part of your video and we
want to fade to black possibly into
another scene. Let's just click here. We'll color it black or any other color you
can keep in mind. I'm going to adjust the
duration to about 1.5 seconds. There we go. And let's give it a transition. Make that a dissolve transition. In this scene here, which is about four seconds, will fade to black. I scrub to the center
and I will push play and notice how
it fades to black. Pretty nifty. Okay, Join me in the next
video when I show you how to add music
and sound effects.
8. Music & Sound FX Are Next: When it comes to music
and sound effects, Canva has a lot to choose from. And if we just go
over here and we click on our audio button, we have some free music. And it's maybe not necessarily appropriate for
what you're looking for. And we also have paved music. And when it comes to sound
effects, let's just say, let's type in birds,
chirping birds. And you'd get a lot of
sound effects as well, but we don't really
have any free ones. So you'll need to either
upgrade or bringing your own sound effects
in order to do that, in order to bring in
our own music and sound effects will
just click on uploads. And images will be
under this area. Our videos will be under here. These are the videos
that we see down below. You don't need to click on
any of these when you upload, they'll automatically
be categorized, but when you upload
music or sound effects, they'll be under
your audio tab here. And notice we have three
files. We have a longer file. This is a music file
titled hip hop promo. And we have some shorter ones, two seconds in 1 second long. We have a diene and a chime. Let's see if we can
listen to those on my computer real quickly. A dean sounds like this. A chime, and some hip hop music. Okay, So this might not
necessarily be appropriate, but for demonstration purposes, it should be just fine. So let's take our music first. All you need to
do is take it and drag it into our
timeline down here. And you see that it's propagated as a lower tract
below our videos. Now you have the
option to scrub back and forth to change the length, to change its
position, and so on. So what we wanna
do is let's make this the entirety of our videos. I'm going to scroll
and scrub and drag it all the way to the end. Now I'm going to click
right here and notice things will be colored, oh, come into view. I'm going to get rid
of this shot here. Click Delete, and notice the
transition has disappeared. Let's come back and put it
in a dissolve transition in. Let's scrub it all
the way over here. So we have this into the
entirety of our clip. Now, if we push play
right about here, Let's say the beginning. Wow, that is really loud, so the music is so overpowering, you can't hear any of the
audio from my voice-over. So what we'll wanna do
is adjust the audio. And all you need to do is
click on that audio file. And then we can come up
here to our audio or volume button and we can adjust
the sound volume. Now. We want it not
to be overpowering. So let's say, let's
give it about 20. And listen to how
it sounds again. That's okay, but it's
still a little loud. Try for learning how to edit. Okay, we can hear it
in the background, but it's not overpowering
our main video. Alright, so that's what we
could do with our music files. Next, let's add
some sound effects. So remember where we put
in our text effects. We have three areas here. 123, we can put in
some sound effects. So for the first two, when I say simple
and sophisticated, that putting a dean and I'm going to drag it
into right about here. That being will show up here. I want to put in one more thing. So I'm going to click
on this command, copy command V and
we have to now. So it should go Dean, dean. We say when we see
sophisticated and then when we come up
to and it's Ferrari, let's put in a chime
right about there. And notice when I
drag these files in, they're going to line up
wherever I have my playhead. So let's see what
this sounds like. And here we go.
Let's listen to it. And potentially best
of all, it's free. So whether you're a Newton, okay, There you go. Now, the deans were a little bit loud and the chimes
sounded okay, if I wanted to, I could
just come in here, click on the dean. And let's go down to about 20. Let's take the same one. Let's go down to about
warranty as well. And now it'll probably
sound pretty good. So that's how you can add
music and sound effects. Next, we're going to look
at how to add graphics are elements in our images
into our video files. Okay, see you in
the next lesson.
9. Grab Your Graphics: Adding graphics or video
is really helpful as well. And there are more or less two areas where you can do that. Number one, let's say you have your company logo or your brand, or maybe another company's logo, you can upload your files here. Notice I've done
that with Canva. I simply went to the Internet. I downloaded a PNG file because it has a
transparent background. And I've got Canva here, and I can just add
that over here. So if we listen at this part, I mentioned can refer the first time because
Pandas editing, because Kim is editing package. So now would be a great
opportunity to put Canva up here. Remember, we wanna do
more showing and telling. So it really does help
with audience retention. I could simply click
and place it up here. If I wanted, I could
animate by give me, giving you, let's
say, for example, a pan effect or
what you could do. Let's just take that out. Let's go up to our elements. Elements really comes in handy. What you can do is search
for something specific in, Let's try Canva, CAN VA. And notice they already
have a whole lot of stuff. Of course it's their
software package. But here's something
interesting when you were doing your own elements search, you can search for whatever
you're looking for first. So I've typed in
Canva, I've hit Enter. And then if you want, you can come right here
and filter things. Now you can filter by color, by orientation, by
animation cut out. And sometimes when you're searching for a
few other things, you can search by free or paid account only that
can come in handy. I want to search for
something that's animated with Canva
apply filters. Okay, Look at that. That's kind of interesting. Let's say, let's use this. This white shows up quite
nicely on the background. This blue background. I'm just going to click on
this canvas right here. I'm going to adjust
the size right here. And that should
look pretty good. So if we come up here to the
beginning and we press Play, it has pandas editing
Haggis, sophisticated. So we'll keep that
in there for now. So you have a lot
of options when it comes to adding n elements, whether those be
photos, graphics, videos, or audio to your
Canvas, edited videos. Now here's something
you may all be interested in when
it comes to YouTube, intros, outros, and n screens. We're going to look at
those coming up next.
10. Intros, Outros, & End Screens - But Be Warned: So let's say you wanted
to add an intro and outro and an end screen
to your YouTube video. To do that, it's pretty simple. Canva had a series of templates
that look really good. So let's go with intros first. All you need to do
is type it intros. And you have so many
templates to choose from. A lot of people put
in their intros at the very beginning. And let's say, I'm going to put mine between the time that I go through showing to the part where I have my
talking head video. So what I would do here is click here and add another slide. And let's say I want
to use this one. We can just click on it. It automatically
pops up and then we can adjust everything
to suit our needs. So let's just say I'm going to type in Canva editing, okay, and here's a little
quick pro tip for you. Let's adjust the colors
to match Canvas branding. So if I go to my uploads, I have Canvas logo right here. If I put it on screen,
what I can do, let's say we want to change
the color of my font here, or even the background. Let's look at the background. If I click Color. Canva has recognized
the image I've put on here and is extracted
the colors in here. So this, this really
comes in handy in many different
ways when we're working with fonts
and other things. So let's just choose this color here and notice it
matches the background. This one looks a
little bit better. Okay, so I'm going
to get rid of Canva. Or how about we just
put it right up here? Notice how things it's propagating to the back.
I don't want to do that. So I'm going to click, take the Canva logo down here. I'm going to click right here, and I'm going to lock it. If you lock things that will
prevent that from happening. So now we're okay. So I'm gonna put camera
right about here. Why not give it a
little animation? Just for fun, like a pop. And this is what it looks like. Now let's change the
color of Canvas. Wow, Let's go to the
color options here. We have our canvas colors here. What looks good? Lighter color looks good. To tell you the truth
why it looks best. Let's just leave it
there and we can adjust the duration by scrolling
back and forth. So here we have 1
seconds of an intro. Now, we can also
have altro now Tro, we could place right
here at the end. All you need to do is click
on Templates and outros. And we have something similar. Notice here, we have outros
that work like this, or we have outros
that are more like in screens like this where you
can place your videos here. Now it's up to you
what you want to do. You can follow the same process that we did with our outros. If you want specifically, end screens just come
up here at the top and type in and screens. Let's find one that's free. Here we go, ones right here. Now, all you need to
do is customize things so they fit your
particular channel. For example, you could place your channel logo here and
two options for videos, whether they be a playlist
or a specific video, or what's best for
the next viewer. However, ladies and gentlemen, this is where I wanted
to say Be warned. Number one, Be warned
with your intro question. Why are you actually
putting up an intro here? Is this more for you because
you think it looks cool? Or does it have
value to the viewer? Typically there's a little
value to the viewer. And if you look at
your analytics, people tend to drop off, they leave your video when
you have your intro is here, especially if they're too long. So if you're going
to have an intro, I suggest really
making it short, like a second,
something really fast and snappy or have none at all. So what I'm going to do is
I'm going to delete my intro. Now when it comes to un altro, it's really the same thing. I would delete un altro. However, when it comes
to an end screen, people don't like a
lot of choices. There. They get a little confused and it's hard to make a choice. And this is at the very
end of your video. So typically what happens if you give them
a lot of choice? For example, four different videos to watch
plus subscribing. They're going to do nothing
you might want to do. And this is my suggestion
because it works well for me. Take everything out,
only give them one yes, I said one option. Perhaps that's going
to be one video. So they only have one option. And there should
probably be a voiceover, a view telling them what this particular video is and
why it's valuable to them. So when they hear that, they see one choice here, they're much more likely to
actually click on this video and continue watching
videos on your channel. Okay, our next video is on
exporting. See you there.
11. Export It All: The final thing
you'll want to do is export your completed video. Now we've only done our
30-second intro here. We don't need it in the screen because it doesn't make sense. So I'm just going to
click on that and delete in order to export, all you need to do is come up here and hit the share button, then click the Download button. Now, you'll have a few
options is filed type, and there's only really
one that is video, so it's our MP video. It's the suggested it
will show up by default. So don't worry, just
make sure it's MP4. That's what YouTube likes. And by default as well, it will export all
of your pages. I have 12 particular
pages or slides here. However, if you want, you can customize thing
and only export a few. Let's say you were testing a few things out
like I was earlier, and I only wanted to
export pages five, 678. And you can test out to see
how they look and feel. However, we're going
to export them all. And then all you
need to do is click Done and hit Download, and your download will begin. And then the next
thing you know, you'll have a complete video. What I suggest then
is watched that video taking the notes of where you might want to make adjustments, come back into Canva,
make those adjustments, and then go ahead and export a another time and
see how things look. So let's see how
our final edited first thirty-seconds of our YouTube video
looks and feels. Here we go. Learning how to use editing software can be
like pulling teeth. It's painful and
takes time today, I'm going to make your
learning experience comfortable and quick because Canvas editing
package is simply a sophisticated and potentially
best of all, it's free. So whether you're a newbie to editing or you've mastered
other applications. And that is definitely a tool you'll want in your toolbox. So let's get started. Okay, Now, ladies and gentlemen, I'm curious about your
YouTube channels. Take a look at the next
lesson and see what I mean.
12. Share YOUR Edit from Canva: Now I'd love to see the first thirty-seconds of
one of your YouTube videos. My channel focuses
specifically on mobile filmmaking.
How about you? And don't worry if you don't
have a YouTube channel yet, this is great practice. All you need is an idea and
a little creative juice. And if you feel a little
uncomfortable on camera, make a faceless video. A lot of YouTubers do. Your class project
is to edit and approximately 32nd
YouTube video intro. Let's take a quick look at the script I used
in this course is demonstration and break it down so you can have a
little bit of inspiration. So this is the exact script that I use in our demonstration. Let's look at the first
two sentences right here. Learning how to use
editing software can be like pulling teeth. It's painful and takes time. This is a metaphor or analogy and this is where we
show and not tell. Can you come up with
some sort of metaphor? So I'm analogy to compare your video topic
and make things a little more interesting
for the audience. Right up to that,
I tell the viewers exactly what they're
going to see. I've identified potential
pain points because sometimes video editing is uncomfortable and
takes a long time. So let's make it
comfortable and quick. And I mentioned the benefits
of Canvas editing platform. It's simple, yet still quality, sophisticated, and it is free. So we've added value
for the viewer. Then I go into who is this
video potentially for? Well, it could be a
newbie to editing or someone who has
mastered other programs. But they want to learn Canva. And I end with a call to action. So let's get started. What might be your
call to action? So hopefully this will
serve as some degree of inspiration for your first
thirty-seconds and your video. Try adding the
following elements. B-roll, animated
titles and text. Transitions between slides, some or all music and sound effects, if possible, but not required. Animated graphics. And if you really feel the need, an intro and outro
and or end screen, make sure to share it here
on Skillshare by pressing the Create Project button under the projects and resources tab. That way you can
share it with us all. Also, thank you so much for
being a part of this class. If you have any questions, go ahead and ask me in
the discussion area. And if you have any
requests about editing further on Canva for
this particular course, let me know too,
because I may add a dedicated lesson to this
course based on that idea. Thank you again, and I hope to see you in the next course.
