How to Create Animated Videos In Canva For FREE (2024) New Step By Step Tutorial

What is up everybody? Welcome into this new video to Express. My name is Steven. I'm going to be showing you how to get started with the animation stuff into Canba

So Camas is an amazing place to create your videos totally for free

So in order to get started, the very first thing you want to do is to have an account into Canba.com

Really, really easy. You can sign in using your Microsoft account, using your Gmail account, or by using Facebook or an actual email account

So the brief of the thing we wanted to do is to be focusing into creating a design inside the editor

So I'm going to go and open a new tab. It says create a slide

Let's focus into the one that says video. This is really important. So you're going to be uploading

We're going to be using a few tools that it's only available for adding video

And then editing tools to edit your actual animations, all your elements, all your images, and all stuff

So you want to choose video. So then it's going to be popping up this new section

We have the entire slide. And down in here, you can see we have the title

timeline that we're going to be using in the whole entire video

So speaking about animations, there's actually a couple of things you want to do in

order to get started. So let's say if I want to go into elements. And here I want to focus into a new character. So as you can see, I have some photos

I have a video, have some audio, and I hear graphics. If you focus into graphics

you're going to be seeing that there's actually a lot, but really, really a lot of elements

that we can use totally for free. So let's say that there are a lot of

I want to use something really, really easy in order to get started. So let's say that I wanted to use something like this, for example

as you can see, these audio's images that I can use to make really, really easy animations

For example, I can make this movement like this from one place into another one

and then I can add an actual text. So language into text, I can go and choose, for example, this one

And let's go for Welcome to Texpress. like this. So then later on what I want to do is to change the actual fund. I'm going to change this for

the code pro and hit into effects and go into the hollow and there we go So what I want to do now that I have a few elements here Let say that I want to add here Let like this and this is how we have our element

So if I wanted to make an animation, I want to select my element

Let's go for animate. And here, let's see that I wanted to make this movement

Like this, where I can choose the breathe, I can choose drift, I choose the baseline

I have to choose the Titanic, I have the boost, the block

choose whatever option you want. to. Then later on, let's say that I want to choose something like really, really easy

Let's say, for example, this one. Or I can choose only mootts. And this lady here, once again

the animation is going to be a little bit different because this is a photo animation. So I want to

choose this drift. For example, I want to change the direction like this, and I want to make

this a little bit more the movement like this. So if I add some new text, let's say that I want to

go for, I'm going to delete all of this, let's go for step number one, right? So I want to change

the actual color and I'm going to change something like bluer. And if I focus into the actual

transition here, I want to change this for the flow. And we have the animation of our actual

presentation. Speaking about animation of your actual characters, I can totally suggest you to

move along using Canva and using animation. Animaker is a great place to get started

If you don't know absolutely anything about creating animations, and you can start to leave it free

So, here into Animaker, what I wanted to do is to go here to create

Actually, I have created something like this. I have just created this guy, and I have the same elements

Welcome to Express. Let's start to make our first video. So what I want to do now is to make the actual appearance here

the same thing that I just did before. Like, for example, drift. Here's another drift

another drift and here is another drift so we're going to change only the directions this guy I'm

going to change for down here and there we go so um with that being said I can make the transition

flow once again and here I have the same thing the same element which that would be step number one right so if I hit into play is how it going to be looking at my actual animation So this is the reason why I used Animaker to use this actual guy totally for free

So speak about the free version, you're going to be having just a few elements

let's say the watermark, but then later on you can delete that into the actual combo

So go here into Animaker. I'm going to go and let's go for create a new project

I'm going to go into a squad video because I just want to use one element to then later

on import that into Canba. So choose start with blanked. And once we are in here, you can see we have the timeline

Here is our preview of our video and the left part is our characters

So what I want to do is to look out for an element that I want to use. So we're going to choose character

And this is good for casual. Let's go for a view all

What I'm going to do is to especially this one. Two of course is just to make sure that I don't want to have anything dried at the

policies made with Animaker because the only way to delete this one is to drag and drop into

Canva because we need to pave course here, the free version to the actual starter version of

the animator. So we don't want to focus in that. Let's say that I want to have this element like this

If this is the goal for my character, then I'm going to make this a little bit of a little bit it more up. So I'm going to delete this pod. So now here we have the actual action and we have the

expressions here. So for example, I can change the happiness from star or sad or smiling or

confused. I have this option. So let's see that I want to use confused. I go back and I have now

the action of my character. So what I want to do now is to choose an actual that I can use for

my videos, I want to use something like really easy, for example. I'm focusing into this one only

I hit into play and this is the actual movement of my character

If I think this one is going to be really useful, then what I want to do is to make this

a little bit more, seven seconds only. And then what I want to do is to hit into publish I going to download out this video And then later on I going to import this into Canva So now we have our actual video download out it

If I go back here, now I import my element, I'm going to go in here

I'm going to go and scroll like this. You're going to be seeing that we have the actual watermark

So I'm going to open this one. I'm going to actually move this into another page

because I want to put that here into the step number two

And this is the part what I told you guys, we just need to read Rack like this

So I, of course, don't want to have the watermark. So I just focus there, hit into play, and there we go

So our element is now imported automatically. And of course, I want to make the speed go a little bit more faster

And there we go. Now here, I want to do exactly the same thing, but this one appears right away

So I can go into the very first part of my video, hit into play, and take a look into how

the stuff are being now created right away. So this is why I wanted to just make sure that I have

all the elements dragged right away. So now that we have all the elements now being created

the last thing you just want to do is to if you want to add some videos and audio, you can go directly

into elements. I can go here into search elements. Let's see that I want to add some chill music

So I go into chill. I hit into the audio section. And here I have some chill classical music

so I can choose Chill Factor, for example, here. I go into play, and if I like this music, I just drag and drop like this

And there we go. So the process is actually really, really simple. Even we can record our own actual voice

I can go directly into applications, and I can add some audio stuff if I wanted to

or I can add more stuff later on into my own video

get started with an actual video and animations here totally for free
