Looking for a Canva animation tutorial?
In this Canva tutorial for beginners, you'll learn how to use Canva to create a Canva text animation,
Canva presentation animation and Canva video animation. So let's get right into
these Canva tips and tricks and Canva hacks on how to create an animation in Canva.
First off, if you don’t have a Canva account yet, just click on the link in the description
box below to sign up for free. To add an animation in Canva, be it a Canva text animation,
Canva presentation animation, or Canva video animation, you'll first have to
select one of your existing Canva designs you wish to add a Canva animation to,
or add animations in Canva to a new Canva design by either searching for the design
type of your choice using the search bar up top, or using the Canva design
suggestions by clicking on the options under where it says 'what will you design'.
I'll be using a different design each time to show you how to add a Canva text animation,
Canva presentation animation, and Canva video animation.
To show you how to add a Canva text animation, I'll be using the design
we created in my previous video on 'Canva text effects: how to add a drop shadow in Canva'.
If you haven't watched that yet, I'll leave the link to it in the description box below.
To open that design up, in your Canva home page,
scroll down until you reach the 'recent designs' section,
and then click on the Canva text effects design. To add a Canva animation just to the text, and
not to the design at large, click on the text box, and then on 'animate' from the white panel up top.
To add a Canva text animation, make sure that 'text animations' is selected up top,
rather than 'page animations'. There are a number of Canva text animations that you can choose from,
including basic (rise, pan, fade, breathe, tectonic and drift), simple writing (typewriter,
ascend and shift), bold writing (block, burst, bounce,
roll and skate), scale (breathe, pop and stomp), exaggerate (tumble, neon, scrapbook, pop and
stomp), as well as slide in and out (ascend, shift, rise, pan, drift, tectonic and baseline).
You may have noticed while I was going through the Canva text animations that there are a few of them
that have a crown icon on the bottom, right-hand side. These Canva animations are exclusive for
Canva Pro users, which you can try out for free by clicking on the link in the description box below.
Once you have chosen a Canva text animation that you wish to add to your Canva design,
click on it. If you take a look at where it said 'animate' on the white panel up top, it'll now
show the name of the Canva text animation that you added, in my case, 'typewriter'.
If you no longer wish to add a Canva text animation to your Canva design,
click on 'remove animation' at the bottom. Under the same 'animate' popup,
you can click on 'page animations' up top to add an animation to your Canva design at large,
while still maintaining the Canva text animation that you added.
To do so, locate the 'combinations' section, and add a Canva animation from there, including
simple, fun or smooth. If your Canva design has more than one page, you can click on 'apply
to all pages' at the bottom to add the Canva animation to all the pages in your Canva design,
or just leave it as is to add the Canva animation just to the page you're currently on.
Once you're done adding a Canva text animation, rename your Canva design up top,
and then click on the download button. Make sure that you save your design as a file type
that allows for animations, so either MP4 video or GIF, I'll select MP4 video, and then click
on the download button to save your design with a Canva text animation to your computer.
Let's now click on 'home' on the top, left-hand side to head back to our Canva home page
so that I can show you how to add a Canva presentation animation.
This time, click on the search bar up top, and search for 'presentation'.
Once that option populates, click on it.
There are a number of presentation templates that you can choose from to then add a Canva
animation to, or you can click on 'create a blank presentation' up top to start your
design from scratch. You can even filter the presentation templates by style, theme and color.
Once you've located a presentation template in Canva that you wish to customize,
such as this 'Yellow Minimal Digital Influencer Media Kit Presentation', click on it to edit it.
Just like with any Canva template, you can click on any of the existing elements on your
presentation design, and then on the options that appear on the panel up top to edit them.
Feel free to change any other element on this presentation, and to add any additional elements,
uploads, photos, text, and more to your presentation in Canva. For an entire walkthrough
of all of the available elements in Canva that you can add to your presentation design, make
sure to watch my video on ‘How To Use Canva’. I’ll leave the link to it in the description box below.
To add a Canva presentation animation to this presentation, click on the element that you
wish to animate, such as the photo, and then click on 'animate' from the white panel up top.
To add a Canva presentation animation just to the photo and not to the presentation at large,
make sure that 'photo animations' is selected up top, rather than 'page animations'.
There are a number of Canva presentation animations that you can add to your photo,
including basic (rise, pan, fade, breathe, tectonic and drift),
scale (breathe, photo zoom, pop and stomp), exaggerate (tumble, pop, neon,
scrapbook and stomp), slide in and out (photo flow, photo rise, rise, pan, drift, tectonic
and baseline), as well as photo movement (photo flow, photo rise and photo zoom).

to head back to our Canva home page so that I can show you how to add a Canva video animation.

over where it says 'video', and then click on the magnifying glass icon on the top, right-hand side
to browse all video templates that you can add a Canva video animation to.
There are a number of video templates that you can choose from to then add a Canva animation to,
or you can click on 'create a blank video' up top to start your design
from scratch. You can even filter the video templates by format, style, theme and color.
Once you've located a video template in Canva that you wish to customize, such as this 'Red and Black
Dark Gamer Sports YouTube Outro', click on it to edit it. Just like with any Canva template,
you can click on any of the existing elements on your video design, and then on the options that
appear on the panel up top to edit them. Feel free to change any other element on this video,
and to add any additional elements, uploads, photos, text, and more to your video in Canva.

including basic (rise, pan, fade, tectonic, drift and breathe),
scale (breathe, stomp and pop), exaggerate (tumble, neon, scrapbook,
