Canva Video Editor: 3/25/25

Cool Octoguy

  • Cite where you got any media you incorporated (both video and audio):
    • The audio was taken from SMASH on Broadway and all of the images were found in the Canva elements library.
  • Talk about what it was like to use the Canva editor. What did you like, dislike, etc?
    • Having a good amount of experience with other video editors definitely had a negative impact on my experience with the Canva editor. While the editor is a good starting place for beginners or more slideshow-like videos, for what I ended up trying to do it was maddening. I like the variety of elements offered, especially with the pro subscription. I dislike the elements and how they work. They do not merge and grouping doesn’t work well. It is just inconvenient to try to do things that would normally work fine and finding they are near impossible. I am also so upset because the octopus emoji I used changed when I exported the video. Like he was so much cuter before.
A man in a business suit stands with his hands on his hips. Instead of a head he has an emoji of a dumbo octopus.
