We're going to create a talking head video presentation using Canva presentations.
Canva users on both free and paid plans have access now.
But check out the link in my description
to get Canva Pro free for 45 days so you can access premium videos and images
to add to your talking head video presentation.
Let's get straight into the tutorial in Canva.
In Canva, from the Canva homepage, you want to search for "talking presentation."
So put that in the search bar and then hit
Enter, or you can select the icon here, talking presentation.
And this will open up all of the templates.
So you can go ahead and select one or create a blank talking presentation.
I'm going to go and choose this one.
And I'm also going to then click on customise this template.
Now, remember, you can go in and change the template at any time.
So don't worry too much if it's not
the one that you think will be the final one.
Now, we're in here
and as always, with your Canva presentations, you can change the text.
Simply click on the element that you want to change, whether you want to move it
around or play around with the text and update the text to be your own content.
And same with the images.
So select what you want to either replace, delete.
And you can also click on the elements
section here to add your own graphics and videos and tables and etcetera.
So that's a crash course in making changes to the presentation.
Now, let's assume that you've made all
of the changes and you're ready to create the talking head video presentation.
What you want to do is go to the top right
hand corner here and you will see the Present and record.
You need to have selected a talking presentation in order for this to work.
So if it's not appearing here, you're not in the correct document type.
So go back and search for talking presentation.
So go ahead and click present and record.
And then you will see the ability to go to Recording Studio.
So we want to click on that.
So this will then open up the recording
studio and Canva needs to set up our camera and microphone.
So just give it a minute.
I can see here that it's picked the camera and it's also picked a microphone.
So if you have a different one that it's picked, you can go ahead
and select from the drop down and choose the one that you want.
So these are the ones that I do want to use.
So I'm going to then click on Start Recording and you'll get a three
second countdown and it will start recording.
So I'm going to go through the presentation, assume that I'm talking,
look at the camera, go through all of my notes, go through all of the slides.
As I change slides, the content on the screen here will change
and my video image will be in the bottom here.
You can't change the size of it, unfortunately,
at the time of this recording and you also can't move it around anywhere,
but it does stay there for the duration of your presentation.
If you need to pause during the presentation
to take a breath or to do what you need to do, you simply
click pause and this will stop recording for that moment.
Once you're ready to continue,
click resume and you can go on and continue to complete the presentation.
Once you finish,
you can hit this end recording button here and then Canva will start uploading
and rendering the video. So just give it a moment and leave the browser open.
Do not close the browser.
So let it do its thing.
Now we've got options here.
We want to copy this link if we want to share this video presentation
with someone, I'm going to copy the link so you can see what it looks like.
So once I do that, you can share this with anyone
and you can see here this is the presentation
and they can watch the whole video and they can also jump to all of the
slides because there's little circles in the timeline here for them to jump to.
So that's a really cool way of creating
the video and sharing it immediately without having to upload it anywhere.
Now, the other option that you have is to download it.
So if you click on that,
it will open it up in the editor again and you'll see here that it's downloading.
So once again, give it a moment
and once it's finished doing its thing, the file will automatically save.
Otherwise, you can click on this link here
if it hasn't started to download itself, and this will download the file again.
You can also access the video of you in the video section here.
So if I wanted to use this in an actual Canva design
or just have the video file and download it and then maybe add it to another file
and cut it up, this is where I can do that.
So that's pretty cool.
It's got the whole video file there that you can also play with it.
So that is basically how you use
Canva Present and Record to do a talking head video presentation
without having to learn how to use any complicated software.
