Canva Secrets Exposed
So after Learning some Fundaments its time to Expose Video Editing Secret, the three free tools in canva that you don’t know yet since these tools are free you can follow this tutorial it works on both the Normal and pro versions of the canva if you have a free account or a canvas product and I recommend you stay until the end so you don’t miss Any of the cool tricks that we can do with these tools
- The Info Button
- Tidy Up Tool
- Collaborative Video Tool
The Info Button
okay so the first tool that I’m going to show you today is called the info button how this is going to help us and why do I think this is cool sometimes I am browsing through all the different templates that You can find on canva and sometimes it happens that there is an element or a photo that I really like and I have no idea how to find it in.
canva sometimes you can try to type uh specific keywords and then you spend hours trying to find the same specific element but somehow you cannot find it so let’s go and try it out let’s say that I like these flower elements or this quotation icon or illustration.

so I’m going to click here on this template is free to use so anyone can use it so let’s go here and let’s use this template now that we are here on the canvas editor we can select let’s say that I want to find this icon I want to find more icons like this one
so I’m going to click here and we have this information or Info icon which didn’t exist before this is kind of new so here we have the name of this icon and then we have a couple of more keywords that we can use to find similar elements or to find more elements that may look like this one, so we can do more research by clicking on these keywords and trying to find similar elements or we can also add this element.
To our likes folder you see here saved to likes we can go to our folders and here on likes we will see all the elements that we have saved elements or templates we can also like templates and let’s see what else we have here so we can also add to any other folder that we may have we can do this with elements like this one or also photos
Tidy Up Tool
Another Canva hack is the Tidy Up tool, I need all photos to be aligned perfectly and I can try to do it very quickly canva tries to help me with these guides you see the pink lines there so I can try to do my best this and they might seem tidy but if you pay attention in this space here I think this space is a little narrow in comparison to these other uh spaces between these other photos.

so if we want to have these photos perfectly aligned what we are going to do is to select all of them and then go to position and click here on the tidy app let’s click here if you paid attention some of the photos moved and now we have Perfectly aligned and perfectly spaced photos or you can also do it with elements or any other illustration that you are working with here in canva and you can also do this trick if you have elements or photos aligned vertically.

so let’s do this example I’m going to leave a big space here and here so we can see better how this is going to work you see Here we have little spaces like narrow spaces and then here we have big spaces let’s do it again position and tidy up boom we have perfectly aligned photos.
I also wanted to mention something else related to this feature because if you try to do this tidy-up effect with only two photos this is not going to work so you go to position.

And you don’t have the tidy-up option because you can actually just click here on center and your two elements are going to be aligned but if you select three elements or more you go to position and then here you have the tidy-up option and key and here what but if you select three or more elements you go here to position and then you will have the tidy up option
Collaborative Video Tool
Okay so the third tool is going to help us create videos with friends this is a collaborative video tool and this is very cool because let’s say that you have a bunch of different friends and all your friends are living in different countries and one of them is having his or her birthday uh Next week.

I’m not going to go in very detail about these collaborative videos and how to do it because I already have a tutorial in which I show you everything Step by step, so you can Read the Canva Blog after this one but um I’m just going to show you the specific tool that is going to allow us to create these collaborative videos
so I’m just going to select one of these templates and let’s do the happy birthday Collaborative video and here we have our design our templates inside this canvas dock and then we have this little uh window popping up which is uh I know like a little explanation on how this works so share the love with a personalized video card here it says a personalized video card makes the perfect gift.

As I was Explaining I think it’s really cool to have these little surprises for your friends or family or loved ones recordings and messages for family and friends compiled into a shareable video so yeah keep track of who’s contributed to the video.
So basically everyone is going to send their videos and then you the owner of this template Are going to see all the videos of your friends right here and then you can just download it as one video all the videos into one and send it to your friend you can send it as a video or as a link I explain everything on the tutorial that I suggested before.

let’s see the tool get started here we see send the link to friends and family to add their messages copy and then you are Going to paste this link into your Facebook chat or any email that you are going to send to all of your friends and then your friends are going to click on this link right so this is what your friends or loved ones are going to see the people who are going to collaborate in this video so this is the tool this is super Cool you can record a video or upload a video.
The video camera of my computer is on right here I can start recording let’s say that I’m recording my birthday wish and then stop recording then pick a name let me show you my birthday wish it looks like this I can select a specific template.

I can add my message here add a name and submit so let’s say for Letterboxd (Anusha) and happy birthday and then submit and then the person who is the owner of this template let’s say me again,
I’m just going to refresh this canvas doc and you will see the person who contributed here at the end of the canva doc so you can see here let’s say that I’m so you will see all of your friend’s videos Compiled into one canva doc this is super simple and I don’t know I also think that this is a really cool idea like surprise or a little gift for your friends or loved ones and yeah you can see here the little message that I wrote really fast
