Video killed the radio star??? Maybe… Anyway, for the introduction to video editing assignment I had a really difficult time coming up with something to do. Maybe because of the time limit, maybe because I just wasn’t feeling particularly creative in that moment. Regardless, what follows is my incredible, very well made, very not boring self introduction.
The canva editor was really strange to use. I’ve used Premiere Pro, I’ve used Clip Champ, I’ve used iMovie. This was like all of those and yet somehow like none of them. It took me a while to adjust to where things were. I liked how smooth the interface looked and the immediate access to the libraries and everything else. I did not like, however, that you had to zoom in in the dock in order to look at shorter clips, stretching clips / shortening them was difficult too, as other buttons would pop up in the way. Sometimes you’d be trying to click a button (like the transitions or add button between slides) and it would just… disappear?? Not very easy to use, but I managed. I liked how many cute templates there were, but a lot of them were locked behind pro, with nearly all of the audio and music locked behind a paywall as well.
