Creating video content has never been easier. Whether you work in marketing, education, HR, or product, you probably know the pressure to get videos out fast while keeping them polished and professional. Canva has been the go-to design tool for millions of people who want quick, easy visuals. And now, with the new Visla app in Canva, you can bring full-scale AI video creation and editing right inside your Canva projects.
What is Canva?
Canva is a design and publishing platform that lets anyone create professional-quality graphics, presentations, videos, and documents. It’s simple enough for beginners and powerful enough for professionals. At its core, Canva makes design accessible with drag-and-drop tools, customizable templates, and built-in media libraries.
Canva works across web and mobile. You can design social media posts, business presentations, posters, videos, and more—all from the same tool. It eliminates the need for complex software and makes creative work feel less intimidating.
How to use Canva
Getting started with Canva is quick:
- Sign up for a free Canva account.
- Pick a design type, like Presentation, Instagram Post, or Video.
- Browse templates or start from scratch.
- Drag in text, shapes, images, or stock video.
- Customize fonts, colors, and layouts.
- Upload your own images or footage if you want.
- Share your design with teammates or export it as an image, PDF, or video.
Is Canva free?
Yes, Canva has a free plan that comes with thousands of templates, graphics, and editing tools. It’s enough for most individuals and small teams. Paid plans unlock advanced brand features, premium templates, and stock media.
Canva also offers free access to premium features for teachers, students, and eligible nonprofits. This makes it a flexible tool for a wide range of users, from classrooms to startups.
How do apps work in Canva?
Apps in Canva are integrations that extend what you can do inside your projects. Think of them as plugins. They let you pull in outside content, use new design features, or export to other platforms.
Visla’s app is one of these integrations. It allows you to bring AI-powered video creation and editing into Canva. You can generate a full video draft, edit it, and drop it straight into your design.
How do you edit videos in Canva?
Canva has its own video editor built right into the platform. You can upload clips, trim them, add transitions, overlay text, and insert music. It’s straightforward and works much like editing a slideshow.
While it’s not as advanced as professional tools, it’s great for quick marketing videos, presentations, or social media posts. Now, with the Visla app, you can take this even further by using AI to automate heavy editing work.
