Did you know that you can do simple animations for your t-shirt designs
on Canva? These animations help you get more views and followers
on social media and I'm going to show you how to do it. Let's go!!
Hey everyone, it's Juna with Detour Shirts. In this video I'm going to show you how to do simple
animations in Canva for your T-shirt design. So if you're building your t-shirt designs in canva you
can animate the text you can animate the graphics and I'm going to show you how easy it is to do.
There's so many options so if you're like me and you're on social media and you're Instagram or
Tik Tok or YouTube or even Twitter or X as they call it now um you can use these animations to
post on your social media sites which makes it a lot more interesting to look at than just some
flat pictures on on there that you post so I'm going to show you how much of a difference it
makes I'm going to go into my Instagram account in my Twitter account so you can see how many views
I'm getting there when I make this change compared to what I have the the other ones the other posts
that aren't animated and I'm going to show you how to do it in canva how easy it is so let's get into
my social media accounts first and then we'll go into Cana all right so here we are on my Instagram
account I posted this um made this post a while ago here it is and you can see I'm going to show
you it's animated right it's like a reals right so it's animated did all of this in canva I'm going
to show you how to do this one exactly but uh let's go back and see like the difference so you
can see it got 28 likes when opposed to like some of these other ones around the same time it had
way more than these other ones right so engagement or likes are higher because it's moving it's a
animated thing if we go to my in um this is my Twitter account or X account now and you can see
I posted this and you look at the engagement here 677 as opposed to some of these other ones where I
posted about the same time 400 291 388 you can see more than twice as much as most of the other posts
because uh not only does it look good but it's active interact not interactive but it's moving
right so I think people stay on it longer um and just look because they want to see what happens
what does it spell out right and so that's how you can make your post interesting the way I got this
is is I had this idea uh I went to this guy's one and there's lots of people who do this but I went
on search here and I love the paper crane here let me show you his as well so you can see some
of his are animated uh wait here look at this so if I click on this this is way more advanced than
what I just did but you can see this is animated and it's super cool right and so if we look at
his like look at that 504 as compared to 146 98 214 right because this one is animated well this
is animated too but this is animated so it has way more than these other ones right it's also
a very cool animation so um props on that but um usually animated ones do better than non-an
animated ones you can see these are very similar but this only got 98 likes but this because it's
animated right even this simple animation of switching between different ones you could do
that as well and that's that gives you more likes and more views so I'm going to show you how to do
this in canva and hopefully this can really help you get more views on your social media accounts
including Instagram I showed uh Twitter or X here you can do this on Tik Tok and everything else too
so let's go to canva right now and I'll show you how to do it okay so here we are on canva this is
my design you can see I just made it you can make any design that you want so just make sure your
design has text and Graphics so we're going to use these are Graphics this is text right you can see
it's text you can see that I'm using a font right here so you don't want text that are isn't using
a font you want actual texts with a font and the way to do this is really simple canva has made it
really easy if you click on the object you want to animate just look up here and it says animate
so just click on this animate and you can see so many different I ways to do it I'm going to
go through each one really slowly and you can see what it does here so first one is this rise see
it if I click on it it kind of shows you what it does it just does it really quickly boom and you
can adjust the speed on that too by when you click on it let me just do one click on it and you can
adjust the speed here you can make it super fast or you can make it super slow or you can make even
come down or up right so there's some different things on here um let me switch to another one you
can turn that by clicking on it again or remove animation Sorry by removing animation you can get
rid of it all right so let's look at this one pan you can see it went across just like that fade pop
that one's kind of cool I like that one uh let's do that again pop wipe that's the one I used um
is just wiping the letters just pop in like that actually I think I used yeah that's probably the
one I use wipe uh and then breathe kind of does that thing um Baseline that's kind of cool drift
let's see that again oh that that Hardly did anything uh this one tectonic oh that's kind
of neat sometimes you just got to over over it okay writing typewriter that's kind of cool that
might have been the one I used actually typewriter that's I like that one Ascend that's kind of cool
too just comes out uh shift oo nice one uh merge let's see what merge does oh that's interesting
let's do that again merge okay block oh a big block comes out boom burst oh I like this one
too I think this is the one I did they all kind of look similar I think this is the one I did
actually though first boom boom boom boom boom I like how it comes out and makes it bigger bounce
boom roll that's pretty cool skate very nice spread oh that's neat uh exaggerate let's try that
again oh it just comes in like that neon o kind of that's kind of a ghost kind of feeling scrapbook
oh interesting just drops in like that St let's see boom comes in hard okay and motion oh this
kind of just tilts it this flickers it that's a pulse and that's just a wiggle so I'm going to go
the one that I really liked I think was burst yeah burst so let's click on burst and I can make it
faster or slower you can see on enter on exit on or both I just like on enter and I'm just going to
keep it medium if I went really fast you can see it's like too fast to read so I'm going to keep it
right in the middle there and we can do the same thing for this one so because that one went that
way I'm going to do burst here and you can see it goes and we can do that same so there we go this
one has burst and this one has burst all right so let's see what we can do with uh the object so
I'm going to click on this you can see see there's animate to here and they're a little bit different
so this isn't uh text this is uh animation for object so let's see what this does look at the
ghost here in the middle rise pan fade pop oh that kind of neat like that pop wipe breathe Baseline
oh that comes up drift kind of moves that one's Tech iic exaggerate that's a way cool oh neon
scrapbook comes down stamp whoa that's a big move rotate that's kind of cool flicker that's a cool
go ghost move there pulse that's neat and wiggle so I'm just going to pick wiggle and I can do that
on a bunch of other ones so I don't have to just do that I can do like this goes here wiggle him
this goes wiggle him and if I want to do other things I can pick him and do you know maybe this
guy rotates and this guy rotates and so on and I can choose to do some or none or whatever right
so there you go it's just animated now um it's just for 5 seconds but it can do longer if you
want to do it maybe I want to do it for 10 seconds or 8 seconds right now that because it's animated
the way to export it is I'll have to share and download and you can see it exports as a MP4 video
right so I'm going to download this and it's going to go to my downloads folder and I'll show you
what it looks like and so we can kind of preview it there too that's going to take a little while
now that's how easy it is now you can see the way I did this was my shirt size but if you want to do
it in a um Facebook size or Instagram real size or a maybe a square you can just copy all of this and
post it on a different different size so let me show you how to do that I'm going to just select
all and copy command C and I'm going to create a new one so I'm going to come in here go to [Music]
home create a design let's say oh let's do U Instagram real boom right and I can just paste it
boom um I'll have to do the background black again but it's there everything's there the burst is
still here position like you can see the animation there is bur the animations there oh that one's
not animated for some reason oh there it has the wiggle yeah there it is everything's animated so I
can export it that way or I can make it uh another size let's go out of here and come in here and
just do custom size maybe I want it Square 4500 by4 4500 instead I can just paste it here right
change background color again and just make it a square size maybe we want the square size for
Instagram so I'm going to download this one too just so you can see what it's like in a square
size MP4 video and download now I'm not sure if it downloaded the first one so I'm going to make
sure that this I think I might have skipped over it cuz I I switched pages so let's make sure it
downloads all the way to the end here and it goes to my download screen and we can save it all right
so It finally downloaded it takes a long time to download these because they're animated and
so they're basically like a movie so it takes a long time but we got it let me open it up for you
here so here's the mp4 file I'm going to play it for you here it's only 5 Seconds long and you can
see just want to have fun and you can see that things moved now we can we can can make these
ghost do anything we want sometimes it doesn't make sense cuz I think I I picked the ghost you
can see it's kind of it's twisting around and the face didn't move so you might want to look
out for that just watch your video and make sure that it it actually works um I might have to go
in here like the way I would fix it is I would go in here and I group these two things group
and then animate them so you can see now it Wiggles by itself so before or it didn't and
I got to fix this guy too right command G group it and then you can animate U like
that what else did the other one yeah this one
this one didn't do it either so command G and maybe it's
pulse that's kind of cool anyway so that's how you do it very simple animations depending on
your design you can animate it it in a variety of ways just have fun with it play around with
it it does a preview for you so you can try it out and then export it as either a square
or the Instagram size you can see it's just a MP4 upload those to your social media account
and watch your views go up or your or your engagement go up and you you should have a
little bit more than some of the other ones and you can do this over and over and it's just a good
way to um get more people watching because they have to stay on here if they want to read it or
want to see what happens they have to actually stay on here and watch it and it's they're more
likely to like it as well so um hopefully this was really helpful for you and hopefully you get
a lot more views on your social media posts so there you go hopefully that was really helpful
for you to see how it's done on canva it's very simple there's lots of other applications that
you can animate your designs with but I think this is one of the easiest ones um you could
do it in procreate you could do it in other things to animate but I think canva does it
like the super simple version and as you can see even that simple version got me a lot more views
and a lot more uh engagement than some of my other post so so if you want to see more canva
tutorials click on these right here this is my canva uh tutorial playlist lots of ideas on how
to do that how to create designs in canva and how to do some other U magic things that they
do on their uh translations and just a whole bunch of things canva keeps getting better and
better and adds more and more things so hopefully this was really helpful for you thanks again for
watching and as always guys keep creating and keep learning I'll see you on the next one bye
