Let's discover the little details
that make a video project polished and professional.
And learn how to use Canva as an end-to-end video editing tool.
This video has quite a lot of content.
There are a few things we can do to really make it shine.
First, let's add an intro slide.
We can add a new page or scene to the project like this.
Start with a template or design a new slide from scratch.
Video introductions usually contain a title, a logo, and some elements.
Next, choose a suitable page animation style.
This should grab the viewer's attention.
The page animation will apply to everything on your page.
For greater control, select a text frame or individual elements,
then click to animate it in the toolbar.
Let's try an animation effect on a single element.
Animated stickers are a great way
to add emphasis and movement to your video.
Let's add a sticker here to emphasize the logo.
Looking good.
Sometimes the best way to express an emotion or idea
is with a carefully selected GIF!
Fortunately, GIPHY is integrated right into the Canva editor.
Click the More tab then GIPHY to add it to your side panel.
Search the entire GIPHY library to find that perfect GIF.
How about adding music?
Canva is jam-packed with a huge library of audio tracks.
Search for them in the Elements tab here.
Or go to the More tab, and add the Audio tab to your side panel.
For consistency, it's important to select background music
that suits the tone and message of your video.
To help, use search keywords for an emotion or genre.
Preview tracks in the object panel like this.

When you've found the right track, drag it to your project.
Music will fill the timeline for the entire duration of the video.
Click on the audio region to change its position.
Or adjust the volume.
Canva makes it easy to add multiple audio tracks
so you can mix voiceovers with sound effects.
Let's upload an audio file.
Drag it to the editor from your computer to upload
and automatically saved to your Uploads tab.
Drag the track to your project to add alongside your background music.
Here, you can trim, reposition, or adjust the volume.
The final part of our video is the ending slide.
In combination with an intro slide,
the outro slide will act as a bookend.
Think about the action you want the audience to take.
What information do they need?
For example, if your video is for YouTube,
it's a good idea to have a slide that encourages viewers
to like your video and subscribe to your channel.
Let's duplicate the intro slide and move the copy to the end of our video.
Edit with information you'd like to leave your audience with
like how to contact you or follow you on social media.
