Hi and welcome to our channel. The best place to learn how to use a master KBA in today's tutorial
I'll show you four tricks to add movement to your designs. Basically
I'll show you how to transform static images like this one so that it has movement like this one
All the tricks that I'm going to show you in this step by step, video tutorial are free
meaning that anyone with a Canva free account or Canva Pro account can follow this video
So make sure that watch until the end so that you don't miss any of the tricks
So are you guys ready for this video? Let's go to my computer
OK. So here we are on my computer and I'm going to start working or I'm going to start with a template that is already
available in KA. So if you want to use any of the templates that I'm showing here on the screen right now
I'm going to leave you guys the link on the description. This is my KA profile
so you can access all of these templates. Uh Before going ahead
I just want to show you that below each template we have this little crown or we don't have anything
If we don't have anything, that means that this template is free
If it has a crown, it means that it's available only for Canva Pro users
So let's go for this one which is free for everyone to use and then use this template
OK. So as we can see here, our image is static, it doesn't have any movement
it doesn't have any animation and we're going to add something so that this um image or this design has
a little animation. So let's go to the menu on the left hand side
Here we see a different categories of uh menus or different and that we have different categories
Yeah. OK. As we can see here, uh we have a static image
This is a static design. It doesn't have any animation or movements
So the first trick that I'm going to show you is how to add a little animation to this design
So let's go to the menu on the left hand side and select elements we are going here and then we scroll down
and we see here stickers. Let's click here on see all. And then we can add any of the elements or the stickers that we
see here on Canva or we can actually type, for example, let's type sparks and then we leave the stickers
the word stickers at the end. So sparkle stickers and then we have a bunch of different stickers or animations with
uh the design or the illustration of some sparkles. So we can use any of these
And if we add this animation to our design, this one automatically becomes into a video
or a animation. So we can see here that this button appear when we included this animation into the design
So when I deleted it, the button is gone. But when I add this little animation
we have the button here. So let's preview it and then we have a little video
OK. So the second trick to make this static image, a video or for this static image to have some movement is to
actually add a video to our design. So how do we do this
We can actually upload our own videos to Canva and then insert these videos into our design or we can use campus videos
into our design or we can browse campus library to add one of the videos that is already available in the platform
So let's go to the same menu on the left hand side and select videos here
We can insert any of the videos that we see right here that Kampa is suggesting but we can also type
here for anything that we need. So uh camp is also uh giving us here some ideas
but let's try with gradient. OK. So here we have a bunch of videos and all of them have
the crown, which means that these videos are available for Canva producers
But if you scroll down, you will see that there are actually a couple of this video videos that are for free
So let's uh use one of these. We have a couple of videos here that I think are going to add some interesting movement
and some little animation that people are going to be asking you how
how did you do that? So as you can see here, we have this really great animation in the background
which I think is really, really cool. There is another one here which I think it also looks very amazing
So yeah, I suggest you go to the video library, do some search
try to find different um keywords and I'm sure you're going to find something really cool for your designs
OK. Trick number three to animate your static designs is to actually use the animate feature in Canva
So if you pay attention here in the Canva editor, there is a button that says animate
So let's go here and click. Oh OK. OK. Let's say
let's open the animate menu and here we'll find a bunch of different options to animate our design
So if you have a Kama Pro account, you can use the ones that you see here with the crown
But if you have a Coma free account, you can use these um five options right here
which I think are really, really cool as well. So you can click on them and preview the little animation on your design
So I think this is really, really amazing and anyone can use it
I think you can create very cool videos in Canva and it's everything for free
So I suggest you go and try this out. OK? And before going to the last trick
I'm going to suggest you guys two videos right here. I think you guys are going to be interested in those videos
So the first one is how to create videos with only photos
You guys suggested me to create that video. So if you haven't seen it
I think you're going to like and also I'm going to suggest another video in which Ronnie gave us five tips to create amazing presentations
That video is really cool, so also very, very recommended. And now let's go to the next trick
Here we are in the last trick and I think this one might be the coolest trick because it gives you a lot of room
for creativity and we are going to do a manual animation. So let's see
I'm going to show you how I'm going to make this flower move from right to left
from one side to the other. And this is going to be very
very simple. So I changed some little details in the design. So this one looks better
I removed the background photo and I added this solid color and then I of course added this little illustration
Um I think I also have room to suggest you guys another video in which I give you a bunch of different keywords for
you to find cool elements in Canva. And this one is in that video
So if you are interested in finding this set of illustrations, just go and check that video after finishing this tutorial
So uh how am I going to make this flower move from one side to the other
I'm just going to uh finalize my design. Let's say that your design is done
And now I'm going to duplicate this page. But before duplicating it
I'm going to edit the timing here and I'm just going to leave like one second and hit done
Now I'm going to duplicate this page. And what I'm going to do is to move this flower a little bit to the left and
then maybe why not adding a little rotation like four degrees? I think you say yeah
four degrees. Then I'm going to duplicate it again, move the flower a little farther
maybe tilt the image again, um duplicate the image again and then keep repeating this
process until we reach the other side of this um little square
So this is a simple animation, you of course can add different movements or different ideas to your animation or your
video. But let's try this one out and let's see how it looks
So I'm just going to preview this animation clicking here on this button and let's see how it looks
Oops. OK. So there is a problem here. I forgot to remove this animation
So let's go back here to the animate button and click on none and apply to all the pages
So this is important if you want to create this trick or this manual animation
it needs to be set to animate none and all pages need to be uh on none
So let's go back. OK? So now because we don't have any animation or any sticker on this Canva document
we don't have access to the preview button, but let's just download this video
We are just going here to download and we're going to select MP four or you can select give whatever uh file that you prefer
Let's go for MP four and download and then we'll see how this animation looks
OK? So here we have our little animation and let's see how it looks
So as you can see here, the flower is moving from one side to the other
This is a very simple trick and maybe it doesn't look very fast
But if you want to have a more uh smooth animation, I will suggest you add more pages and move the flower
like little by little and also maybe reduce the timing instead of selecting one second
Why not? Maybe trying 0.5 actually. And let's add this to each page
OK? So what I did very quickly. Now is that I changed the duration of each page from one second to 0.5
for each of the slides. And I think, I hope that you can see a difference
I think maybe 0.5 or maybe less than that can look better for this type of animation
So you can see that the animation or the movement looks much better in comparison to the previous one
OK. So let me know which of the four different options I show you today you prefer
