Do you think canva would add an automatic subtitle rather than manually transcribing? Thanks again for another great video!

I'm currently using this for my video project that involves a lot of talking, whenever I split, glitch still appears even when I download it. If there is a way to have a separate for subtitles or elements instead so that you don't need to split the video. Let's say there is a layer to add the elements or subtitles you want to add and you drag it where you want to appear. That you don't need to split the videos. How cool is that if that happens.

This was a lifesaver today for a work project. Very clear instructions. Thank you so much!

The explanations are very clear, simple and direct to the point. It is just a pity that there is automatic way of doing this to save time. Thank you.✨🙏✨.

Amazing! Each and every day Canva does so many new things I'll not need a separate commercial video editor.

Thank you so much for this it was sooooo helpful! I don't even want to say how much time I spent trying to figure out the best (and cheapest) way to do this. And then here's your method - simple!

It’s the fact that you responded to every question. Thank you SO much for that! New subscriber here!🙌🏽Not only for that content, but the fact that you engage with your subbies. ❤️

Oh great, I didn't know about video split option.. Got it through this video... Thanks Diana for sharing. ❤️👍

Thank you so much for this! I have been wanting to add subtitles to videos in Canva for so long, but never thought about splitting the video... I always just cut it after the text and then re-added the video and cut it off till where I had it already...Which was like double the work 😂

Wow! Canva become more and more creative features, I can't wait to use it in my studies. 🥰

I was using canva for creating just social media post designs. but you really helped to edit the reels video in canva with text. thank you so much

Thank you for this helpful stuff here - you helped me find the split tab :)

Hi... Is there any ways to avoid the loss of clarity after export in Canva? It always happens with Canva and when we post any videos into social media, the compression make it even lesser in quality. Any ways to overcome it? Thank you...

Hey diana, this was so helpful. you guys are angels

thank you for this! i did not realize how much easier of a time i would have using canva video!

Hey thanks! Can we add background to the text?

Question: Can you use designs you make during pro trial for commercial purposes or not? As educator I have edu licence and I never used Canva for commercial purposes, but now I made children's book in it and want to sell it. So what is the best plan? Trail for month or subscription for month? Thank you.

This is exactly what I’ve been searching for. I wanted customized subtitles IN CANVA!! Thank you SO much!!

Diana, si tienes tiempo y te apetece la idea: una entrevista telefónica desde Canadá. Gracias.

Hello guys, I'm trying to create a videocourse with Canva. I have the structure and the slides made on Canva and I would like to record my talking head with transparent background (like yours in the video) and the canva slides while I explain them. How should I do that? Do you have any advice? Thank you so much!! A.

Yay! Just what I was looking for. Thank you

Yes! This is helpful. Can you show us how to add a little effect in tie video? Like sparkles ✨ 🎆 or swirls to make something look kind of magical for a second?

Thank you so much, this was really helpful!

We normally add captions from .SRT files within Adobe Premiere. I assume this is still not available to do within Canva? We have a client using Canva but has to export the final video into Premiere to add captions quickly using the .SRT's. Looks like we'll have to still do it this way for speed. Nice tutorial though... Thanks. :)

I have spent about 30 minutes trying to find a good tutorial on this topic! Thank you so much Google for helping me find you. Question, when I go to "create design" in Canva and select IG Reels format, will your instructions still apply? Or do I need to go to video? I shot video vertically to use for Reels. Thank you!

Thanks! Have you made THIS video with Canva? How do you get your profile to the right down corner of the screen? Looks good.

Wow... finally, thank you so much, I ever commented before about this. Ur the best ! Masyaa Allah

Great! New learnings. Is Canva has same features here in RU-vid, where you have an option to turn on or turn off the cc? Thanks.

I just tried it. Let's see how it goes. Takes a minute or two to get the hang of it! thanks

Thanks so much for the tutorial.

hi Diana, Love all your canva videos and already gave you a thumbs up! Wonder if you can share the program that allows you to record yourself and sharing screen at the same time?

Awesome new feature! Thanks, Diana for this amazing tutorial.

thank u so much for the video! can u guys consider how to do a facebook cover?

Thank you for this video. Valuable information.

Very helpful tutorial, thank for sharing. What software do you use for the green screen effect of you in the corner if I may ask?

Thank you very much for sharing. This is really helpful for the beginner like me. Really appreciated it❤️❤️❤️

you are my mvp and my god!!! thx for sharing this method of adding the subtitle! love u so much!!!!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I just used this to do what I needed, thank you so much!!

I think this is labour intensive. You did an amazing job of explaining. Thank you so much. But this should be a lot easier. Wow.

You are amazing. Your teaching style is fantastic.

Hi, been following ur works. So helpful! BTW how can I add a mini me like the way you did while doing screen showing?

Awesome! Very good and also a easy proces to add subtitles to a video, thank you for the tutorial

This is super helpful! Thank you for sharing the tutorial. 🙌✨

There is limitation to add number of audio clips. Only 20 clips we can add in Canva. For. Creating long videos with audio and subtitle little bit difficult

Thanks for going through this, including the bug.

do u need to keep typing subtitles or does it create it self.

Hey, it was great! Thank you for sharing this tutorial, it's going to be really helpful.

I'm looking to have the option for word-to-word text as i speak. Whereby the words can be different sizes and colors. I already know how to transcribe sentences. But each word would be too many cuts to the video.

Please tell me how could I have this split function? I havent got it in my Canva :(

GREAT GREAT ADVICE - greatings from Poland ☺

thank you this was super helpful!

The short footage, in which you were introducing the new video editor feature, in the screen where there was the video, that was from 1 of the Ronny's video, right? I found that out, as you most of the times teach in a larger size Mac cursor than Ronny. Am I right?☺️

This feature is indeed amazing and will help me in my freelance business. Thank you.

Your video is super good as usual, thank you. We need a better tool to add subtitles, though.

Thank you for this. Now I already have an idea of how to add subtitles to my videos.

Holy wow. A video on how to make subtitles that has no subtitles lol

This is helpful! Your accent is adorable too!

Thanks for the explanation. A bit shocking that Canva don't have an automatic way of doing this.

Thank you. Very clearly and simply put. I've subscribed to your channel. Emmanuel

I found all the information I need in this video. Thank you.

I wish this can be done on the mobile app!

Thanks for the tips!

Thank you so much!

Thank you for sharing the tutorial...very helpful

Very nice! Just waht I needed... Thank you! :)

very informative! Mam i just started using Canva and am facing the same glitch issue. any solution plz

It‘s a good idea, but it’s huge work; typing and splitting video for every sentence.

THANK YOU SO MUCH! Direct to the point. Actually I'm little scared at first but I ENJOYED IT! Thanks much!

You are amazing, you always help me thank you dear ❤️

Hi, so there's no way it will be automatic to transcribe what you are saying like youtube automatic subtitle feature setting...still you're paying for a pro account yet you need to type it manually? (time consuming & tedious) Can canva upgrade considering the monthly pro payment fee? Yet, Canva doesn't deliver or not rendering a full potential service for its paid user/client? Any thoughts? =)

That box for the editor doesn’t come up for me! I do have pro! Is there another way to access it?

Thanks a lot. Very useful

thank you! helped a lot!

Thanks a ton! Very helpful :)

Hello! I can't add subtitles. I've tried more. So do you know another programs for add subtitles?

Thank you for sharing the tips.

Thanks, very helpful.

Is this not possible when editing a video the TikTok category? Whenever I try to add new text after the video split it instead edits the text in the previous frame. Am I doing something wrong or is this only available for videos in 16:9 format? And yes, I do have the Canva PRO. Many thanks in advance to whoever can answer me!

Thanks, very useful!

Thanks Diana!

which software do you use to edit your videos?

errrr hopefully there will be an automatic voice to text function soon and Im even using the pro version when I can get this feature for free on capcut :(

Great video Diana. Really useful addition 👍👍

I was hoping for an easier option than transcribing myself. I'm hoping they have an option to actually upload a srt or vtt file. But I like your video and tutorial.

So Helpful! Thank you!!

This is so impractical typing in subtitles manually surely there’s an automated way ? Have you come across this yet ? Please if you have can you make video on it . Thanks

Awesome thanks that's perfect helped allot

i m really loving the new canva video editing software its amazing !! looking forward what canva will bring more in video editing

I love it. Thank you

thank you for this valuable video

How long is the longest video we can edit in Canva? Hoping to get a reply🙏Thanks in advance

super, thank you!

As others have said, when I split the video and wait, it still glitches even after I download it. This makes it impossible to create a professional video. What I've had to do is create the video in Canva and export it into DaVinci Resolve and add text there. This adds so much work to the project. If you can't fix the bug with splitting the video can you add a way to time the text?

Canva make video editing become easier. How ever split make its glitch. Hopefully Canva can improve its in future.

I loooooooove it! and use it with my YT tutorials!!!!!!

espectacular Diana, por favor hacelo en español en tu canal!!!

Thank you!

Thank you dearie =)

Very useful. Thank you.
