Easy to follow Canva tutorials for authors, writers and book bloggers, on how to make marketing and branding materials. Writing and publishing related book reviews. Some book trailers. Brought to you by author Jeevani Charika, who also writes as Rhoda Baxter.
I gave a talk on Friday for the Jersey Festival of Words about self-publishing and suggested authors learn how to use Canva and sent them here to learn from the best.

Hello my name is Teressa. hope this message finds your doing well, I have been looking for a help, you're perfect. I write children books, and I am smart enough to create book animations but not sure how to start and then you popped up! GOD is good❤. I will watch all you posted videos then go from there. Thank you.
That's fantastic! I'm so glad it's been useful. Please do tell any other author friends who would find the videos useful. I have a playlist which collects together most of the animation related tutorials. ru-vid.com/group/PLb6ZdUcteRn4gJDDhD4UTd1LPr2PBYuxg
@@StephanieDale22 I'm so glad it was useful! That's interesting that you found the slip ups and corrections useful. I was wondering about editing them out. Perhaps, I'll leave it alone.
Thank you Jeevani just now I watched one of your videos and was able to create a mock up video for the face book only thing I am still struggling with the ebooks since I have doubt of the sizes the Amazon requires, please if you can let me know the page sizes . Anyway 🎉🎉🎉 good luck !
If you mean text based books like novels, non fiction etc, then you can use a free converter like Draft2Digital's formatter to get the book into the format (ebook or print) that Amazon needs. If you mean print books - there are lots of different size options available. You can choose what size you want the book to be, just make sure you choose the right size from Amazon's drop down menu. I walk through the process of uploading a paperback book to KDP in a different video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-OEveLVBVMzc.html
Hi! I want to use the speed painter on an image on a slide, but it starts "painting" again before the time I have set for the slide is complete, even though I haven't checked "play on repeat". Can you help me, please? Thanks in advance.
I'm assuming you mean a video of the Speed Paint that you've done before (rather than using the app live every time you). I don't know what you'd change in the Speed Paint app (especially if you haven't ticked 'play on repeat'), but perhaps you could try a work around. See how many seconds the Speedpain bit runs for, then set the time the SLIDE is on screen to match. Then, if you need the completed image to remain on screed, add a new slide after the speedpaint slide with the completed image (static) on for however long you need. So if the speed paint takes 5seconds, you set the timing of slide 1 to 5 seconds as well. Then (if you need to) put slide 2 in with the fully painted image in for a few seconds. Does that solve the problem?
I have the new interface. The keynote was awful so I gave up watching after a few minutes. I'd love a video on keeping folders and projects in order, Jeev!
