Imagine having your own design assistant sitting with you who is able to give you
hints and suggestions about what to add to your templates so that you create incredibly
professional and beautiful designs. Well from now onwards everyone in Canva has access to their own
magical Canva Assistant that will help them at every stage in the design process [Music]
Canva Assistant
is your 'one-click-trick' with endless possibilities to help you add magic to your
designs. Just look for the sparkles in the design editor to find all the Canva features you need,
saving you time and streamlining the design process. Canva Assistant really is a game changer,
it gives you access to all your design elements and it will recommend elements
and features that match your design so you can create truly professional templates.
Quickly access Canva's new AI-powered tools such as Magic Write and Magic Design
to help you brainstorm ideas and bring your imagination to life at the click of a button.
So if you're ready to find out more let's dive in. So let's see how Canva Assistant can help
you with a completely blank template. So let's say I want to create a flyer about a dog show,
so I'm going to type in "Flyer" into the search bar, go down to flyer. And that is a landscape
one, I want portraits so I'm going to click on that link and then open up a blank flyer.
Okay so many of you will know exactly how intimidating it can feel to stare at a blank
template. So if you're faced with that dilemma and you're really stuck all you need to do to
access Canva Assistant is go right down to the right hand side of your screen and look
out for these sparkles, so Canva Assistant is always there to help you from the design editor.
Click on the sparkles to open up Canva Assistant. So since I have a completely
blank template Canva is suggesting that I might want to use Magic Write to start brainstorming
ideas. I might want to add some text or I might want to share my document. I think
I probably would but not until I've finished, so I'm going to click on "Show More". And I can see
a full menu of suggested features and elements to help me start my template. So I have shapes
I can create a table, I have charts
I can find elements, lines and shapes, frames, templates and so on. But I am going to use
Magic search to help me make a start. So with my cursor in the Magic search bar I'm now going to
type "dog", then hit enter. And underneath Canva has suggested "Do you want to search for a dog,
do you want to look for a dog paw, a dog bone, hot dog', doge, or dog toy?" I'm going to do a general
search on dog so I'm going to click that. And underneath Canva is now suggesting dog graphics,
dog photos, videos with dogs in them, dog templates, so if you really are
stuck and you just want to give up and use a template you can click on one of these.
Underneath you might see projects that you've already created relating to dogs,
underneath again you have further suggestions related to dogs, dog emoji or you can use the
Text to Image feature. I'm going to go right back up to the top and click on a dog graphic.
So I've started to populate my template, I can go back to Canva Assistant to ask for
more help and because I still have my graphic selected it's suggesting that I might want to
change the colours in the graphic. It's given me more suggested graphics related to this one.
If I wanted to explore the graphics further I can click on See All and that will bring them
up in the sidebar as usual, and these are all the magic recommendations. So you can
see how easy it is to really start building a template using these magic suggestions.
In this example I've already uploaded a photograph to a poster template because I want to make a
poster about a marketing strategy. I want a little bit of help fleshing out my poster so I'm going to
click on the text box that says "Marketing", go down to Canva Assistant and because I had
text selected Canva is suggesting the Magic Write options. So I'm going to ask it to Expand
on "Marketing" for me. So I'm going to click on "Expand Text" and watch for the magic to happen.
And almost instantaneously I now have a list of points about creating a marketing strategy,
and it is that quick! Let me know in the comments box if you are loving these features.
Incidentally, if you're not familiar with Canva Magic Write then do check it out because it's
kind of own version of chat GPT. I will leave a link to this video in the end screen right at
the end of this tutorial. Back to my template, by clicking on my photograph and going down to Canva Assistant
I've now got recommendations based on my photograph. So I can use Magic Eraser if
there's something in the photograph I don't like and I want to get rid of. Or I can use Magic Edit
to erase something in the photograph and replace it with something else if you don't know how to
use these two magical photo editing features then I'll leave links in the description box
underneath this video so you can check out my tutorials. By clicking on "Show More" I can also
remove the background of my photograph, crop it, add an animation, adjust the transparency, add filters
align my photograph on the page, add a clickable link to my photograph, add a comment and even
duplicate the photograph. So you can see there's a whole host of things that Canva
suggests that you might want to do. I now have an animated social media graphic opened up in
my design editor and I want to add a tagline underneath here so I'm really stuck and I'm going
to ask Canva Assistant. So clicking on the sparkles I'm going to click on Magic Write
and ask it to create a tagline for me. Hit Enter and wait for the magic to happen and it was
that quick! It took just a few seconds. I'm just going to move this down and here's my tagline
"Enhance your natural beauty with our expert touch". Great! So I'm going to get rid of that
and then add some finishing touches to my text so that it matches my template [Music]
Perfect! I might even add a little animation
[Music]
Wonderful. You can even use Canva Assistant to
help you with an audio track. So if I wanted to add audio to this template
I'd click on Audio, I'm going to add some upbeat jazz to my template by dropping the music there.
And by selecting the audio track if I click on Canva Assistant now it will give me suggestions
based on an audio track. So I can use Beat Sync and add audio effects such as fading in my track
and fading it out.
