this month I have six new canva features
I need to talk about so don't you go
anywhere
hey what's up everyone Ronnie here
welcome back to the channel I'm super
happy to present a new episode of what's
hot I know it is your favorite series on
the channel so today we have six new
features to talk about and one of them I
know will make a lot of you very happy
because this is a feature you guys have
been asking for and waiting for for very
long time so without further Ado let's
jump into canva and let's discover this
hot and new features foreign
[Music]
the First new feature we need to talk
about has to do with presentations and
it's called Magic shortcuts in the
remote control so let's analyze this for
a second it's quite a long title if you
haven't followed all of the episodes of
WhatsApp you might not know hey Ronnie
what the heck is remote control well
remote control is canva letting you use
your smartphone or any other device
really to control the slides on your
presentation kind of like a clicker so
let me first show you how to use your
phone as a clicker as a remote control
for your presentation so for that I
first need to get into presenter mode I
have this presentation right here which
is basically a template couple of pages
doesn't really matter for the sake of
showing you this feature but what you
need to do is to hit the present button
so this will work in any presentation
mode but I'm going to use the presenter
View mode okay so presenter view present
event and then typically you'll have my
two windows my audience window and my
main window okay got it so I have
control over my presentation from here
and go from slide to slide using my
keyboard arrows or simply clicking on
the different slides right here okay
let's go back to slide one and now if I
use the three little dots right here the
more button I can find share remote
control okay so I'm going to click here
so remote control your presentation from
another device okay so canva basically
gives you a possibility to control that
presentation from another device so I'm
gonna copy the link now I'm gonna grab
my phone right here simply go into a
browser and paste that link okay pasting
that link in canva is connecting now it
is connected and I see these two major
buttons right here let me get out of
this menu right here to to Simply show
you you see I'm tapping the buttons and
the pages are of my presentations are
flipping that's not new that's just
remote control what's new is the magic
shortcuts right here and I can extend
them you see with the little drop down
arrow and now I have my presentation
shortcuts that I used to trigger with
some keys on my keyboard now in order to
show you what they do I'm gonna bring
back the audience window right here okay
so this is the audience window let me
bring it back and I'm just gonna put it
on top of the other window right here I
want to show you how this magic
shortcuts work from the remote control
because I think this is pretty cool just
tap on them and you see
here's a bunch of confetti and I can tap
a bunch of different times to add more
confetti okay so that's pretty cool like
that drum roll also work
the curtain opening up and closing the
mic drop
everything is here basically and there
is a little Easter egg right here for
Halloween today the day I'm shooting
this video we are very close to
Halloween probably when you will see
this video Halloween will be behind us
but canva introduced two I would say
seasonal shortcuts the Little Ghost
right here that you can also activate
with the G key on your keyboard or the
little spider let me get rid of the
ghost bitter spider right here that you
can activate with the S key on your
keyboard or simply using the spider on
your remote control so neat little thing
right here you can still navigate your
slides with the arrows on your phone but
you have all of the magic shortcuts
right there I think this is a neat
little trick well done canva to add more
functionality to this remote control I
think this really improves the quality
of life of anyone really presenting with
canva
moving on to the second new feature for
today but also moving on to a new
category of updates let's now talk about
what's hot what's new with video
starting with this feature right here
which has a lot of potential Kanda calls
them Lottie stickers or animated Vector
stickers and this is probably the future
of stickers on canva so let me show you
what they do first so the stickers
you're seeing right here starting from
the one that says canva and then these
animated shapes are the next generation
of stickers on canva let me show you why
if I click on this sticker right here
and I position it somewhere on my design
you will see that I can now change the
color of that sticker which was
something I could absolutely not do with
the usual the normal stickers so I can
change the color of the sticker to make
it on brand and this will continue to
look great also I can really stretch the
sticker to make it very big on screen
and I will not lose in quality so let me
show you with the canva logo right here
which is also a Lottie sticker so let me
make that smaller first you know what
I'm gonna just use a new page right here
I'm gonna use a white page
and copy the sticker right here okay so
I have my canva logo right here usually
stickers were a little bit lower
resolution right they will start to show
very pixelated if you really uh make
them bigger on your canvas you could not
stretch them as much as you want they
will start losing in quality look how
big I made this canva sticker right here
because it is still a sticker on this
page right here and it's still super
crisp I can zoom in to show you every
single part of this logo of the sticker
is super crisp so that's what canva
calls Lottie stickers it is the next
generation of stickers that are coming
progressively coming into canva and
these Lottie stickers offer two main
benefits like huge benefit compared to
the other stickers the first one I
already mentioned it is that you can
change their color see I can easily
change the color from black to any color
really I can use my brand colors I can
pick any color from from the color wheel
so that is a great Improvement because
you can now make not any stickers but
all of the new Lottie stickers and I'm
going to show you in a second how to
find them all the Lottie stickers so
stickers carrying these attributes you
will be able to recolor to change their
color and the second main benefit is
that you can resize them they're not
gonna move they're not gonna decrease in
quality their resolution is going to
remain perfectly intact that is because
they are vector stickers not the regular
stickers we used to find in canva now
this is still a very early stage canva
has allowed us to show you this new
category of stickers so you might not
have them yet in your account so they
are coming soon just be patient if you
don't see them yet now at this early
stage of the Lottie stickers they are
still quite a bit tricky to find because
you have to copy a specific brand
keyword this brand keyword right here so
if you want to try go go ahead and
screenshot this keyword right now
because this is the one you will need to
paste in your Element Section and guys
as I speak Diana is preparing a video to
show you how to find more of these
Lottie stickers what keywords to type
into canva to generate these Lottie
sticker sets and so make sure to
subscribe to our Channel and maybe also
use the notification button if this is
something you are interested in because
this video is coming very soon you don't
want to miss it and now let me come back
to my keyword right here so the way to
find them make sure you are under your
elements tab right here then paste the
brand code I just showed you okay so
paste that right here in the search box
hit enter okay make sure you are on the
graphics tab
okay make sure to follow every single
step so make sure you're on the graphics
Tab and then use the filter okay filter
the animated stickers animate it apply
the filter right now I'm seeing a bunch
of uh characters right here those are
not Lottie stickers okay I don't know
why they appear here for me the Lottie
stickers start at the white canva logo
so for now there are very little Lottie
stickers because as I told you before
this is the early stage of these new
stickers but you can try like you can
try these animated shapes because they
are already carrying these new
attributes so I can change their color
very easily and I can resize them they
are not going to lose in resolution so
that's how you find these stickers keep
an eye out for more because I know for a
fact canva is going to start adding them
to the library so progressively we'll
see more and more and we'll probably see
an easier way once they have a good
amount already of these new stickers in
the library you won't have to copy a
specific brand keyword to access them my
bet would be that these will
progressively replace all of the
stickers in canva but hey I don't know
so this is only my intuition so keep an
eye out for these Lottie stickers
alright guys I hope you enjoyed these
appetizers and now I am kind of ready to
serve you the main dish but before I do
why don't you go ahead and hit the like
button because this will really help us
show the video to more people on YouTube
because that's really what we want we
want to reach more people with our
content and continue educating as many
people as possible so hit that like
button and take a sip of water because
I'm bringing on the main dish
introducing element timing so many of
you have been waiting for this and
asking canva how can I better control
when my elements show and disappear on
screen when I'm creating videos or
animation right up to now the solution
was to cut your video into different
pages into different clips and add your
elements and make them come and
disappear with the animations but this
is no more the case element timing will
allow you to basically make any element
in your video project appear and
disappear here on your timeline and you
will have full control over that now
this is the promise it does sound very
nice and appealing for all of us using
animation in canva and I'm going to show
you where to find this feature and how
to use it so for that make sure you are
using a video document type okay so I'm
going to scroll down and find this happy
birthday little video right here okay so
this is a template I didn't create this
video but the way you bring up element
timing is by simply selecting an element
in your video project it could be on any
of the pages let's take page one for
example these little arrows right here
which are is thicker and they are
pointing at happy the first word in this
text box so let's take this element so
okay with the element selected click on
the three little dots the more button
and find this item in the contextual
menu called show timing okay so I'm
gonna click on that and now canva brings
that element right here in purple on my
timeline you see how I now have this
element right now and I can control the
beginning of when this element will
actually actually show up in my first
page right here and the end of it as
well so this allows me to control the
timing
see let me first play it from the
beginning
okay
disappear there you go so that's if you
want your arrow to show from the
beginning but if you don't want so if
you want the arrow to kind of come up
later just drag a little bit here and
you can zoom on that timeline if you
want to the way you zoom on your
timeline simply click you see this
button right here Zoom Page by default
it would be your editor page so if you
zoom now you just zoom in on the on the
page itself but if you click on that
button you see now the the highlighted
portion of this button has moved down to
the thumbnails so this part right here
the timeline and now you can zoom in to
have more space on the timeline so
that's just a little trick you might not
know already in canva that you can
actually zoom on your timeline so with
the timeline selected I can
you see easily drag to the left or to
the right the beginning of this little
section right here that represents my
arrows so I'm gonna actually
move that to this side and make them go
up to the end of this section okay I
wonder the arrows to disappear with my
slide right here with the transition so
now let me play that back from the
beginning again
it's not there and then it starts it
starts to show right there so this is
great you can also combine that with
animation you see with the element
itself selected animate make sure it's
your Element Animation not the entire
page and you can choose whatever
animation you want to use for this one
element right here let me choose stump
because stump is a very particular one
on enter okay and play that again from
here
see how it's stumped here let me play
that again
like so that's the stomp effect boom so
very cool you can really play around
with this make your elements appear and
disappear a couple of things you should
know though first of all if you have
different pages like it's the case right
here on this timeline you see I have one
two three four five six pages you cannot
spread your element duration more than
the duration of your entire page so all
the way to when the second page starts
you see I cannot drag this thing right
here like any further so I am limited by
the length the duration of that page one
because the element is on page one the
second thing you should know about let
me come back to page one right here and
let me delete this animation right here
so just simply delete it like so with my
delete key you can also select multiple
elements you see now I'm going to select
the text box that says happy Monday and
then the other text boxes right here
well actually there's one more text box
so this one right here and the circling
effect so that's three different
elements that I'm selecting right now
again the more button show timing and
now I can have control over each of
these three elements you see there's a
little up Arrow right here if I click on
it this is what you will see you will
have your timeline with multiple layers
multiple tracks we are getting closer
and closer to a proper video editing
experience on canva with multiple I
would say video track where you can
position your elements so now I can move
this in different ways so let's first
select the first text box okay this one
it will appear very early and it stays
on screen until the end the second one
this one I want to make appear a little
bit after like so
and this one right here also I want to
kind of match the other thing right here
actually I can even make it come a
little bit later
like so and now we can watch the final
result
all right so this is okay but obviously
we could better work on these animations
like scrapbook probably not the best so
I'm going to change that very quickly by
changing the style of Animation okay so
I'm gonna select the first one right
here animations crap book I don't want
scrapbook I want something more like
block
I think block would be more appropriate
then I will have this one right here
also not scrapbook I think for this one
I'm just gonna go with no uh animation
at all so I'm gonna remove the animation
and now I can play that again and if the
elements on your timeline disappear just
select them again okay so that's the way
you work with this you select them again
and now I can see what this looks like
yep and this is much better so this is
just a quick demo of what you can do
with element timing Diana has created a
full tutorial about this feature which I
highly recommend you watch next I will
have a link in the description of the
video for you because she shows you with
a real life project how to do this both
from your desktop and your mobile and
how to really use that in a proper video
production with canva so that was
element timing a crowd's favorite I
would say something you guys have been
waiting for for a very long time it has
now rolled out to approximately 50 of
canva users so if you don't see that
option in your canva account yet please
be patient it is coming soon and it will
be available for both free and pro users
and also you will be able to do this
from a mobile or from your desktop so
element timing all across the board for
every single users thank you canva the
next new feature I want to talk about
still in the category of making videos
is a new transition it's called color
wipe transition it is coming to all
canva users free and pro alike and yeah
it's currently being rolled out to
everyone so if you don't see it yet it's
coming very soon let me show you how it
works this will work for both a
presentation and a video doctype okay so
either of the two so let's start with a
presentation is come back to my digital
brainstorm presentation I want to show
you how to add a transition to your
presentation to your different slides
and also how to use that color wipe
alright so for doing that you are going
to locate on your thumbnails right here
and by all means if you don't see this
thumbnail View at the bottom of your
page it might be because it just like
it's collapsed this panel is collapsed
so locate this little arrow right here
when you hover over it it says show
Pages then simply click on it okay by
clicking on that Arrow you actually
collapse and reveal that panel right
here which shows a thumbnail of every
single slide you have in your
presentation so the first thing you need
to do is to have this panel actually
visible next you go to one any of your
slides and then you click on the little
more button like so and locate the
button that says add transition so I'm
going to click on that you will come to
your Transitions and color wipe this one
right here is actually the new
transition I wanted to show you guys so
let's click on it and I see that canva
will Auto generate four different colors
from my document okay I can customize
these colors if I want to so if I want
to change the last green one here for
black I can do so you can customize any
of the colors really but I think it's
nice that these colors are generated
from your duck it adds to this
consistency in your presentation so a
couple of options here you can modify
the duration of this animation this
transition
from 0.1 second to 2.5 but I think one
second was actually a good length for
this and then you can change the
direction so you can go from right to
left left to right up down and also
diagonal which is pretty cool so coming
up from any of the angles so I kind of
like this one right here because then it
drags me with the last color being black
it drags me to the black slide so I'm
going to click on that arrow and there
you go this transition has been applied
between slide two and three right here
it would have been nice that canva shows
you the transition when you click on
your grid view right here to show there
is a transition between these two slides
currently doesn't but that's okay and
you cannot also you cannot add the
transitions from this grid view so
that's a little bit of a bummer but
we'll go with it you can only do it from
here okay so little plus menu right here
change transition and you can change
that what you can can do is to apply the
same transition between all of the pages
all of your slides which I wouldn't
recommend you do for presentation it's
always good to have a little bit of
variation in your transitions or maybe
not a transition after each and every
single slide because you kind of lose
some of the dramatic effect of adding
like created transition of specific
moments for specific slides on your
presentation so that's how you do it on
a presentation doctype let me quickly
jump over a video doctype so we have a
video right here with a couple of pages
again this is a template so in this case
it's a little bit easier because you do
have the possibility to add your
transition in between the pages which we
don't yet have in presentation document
types so in order to add your transition
very simple you click on that plus
button and you locate the lower button
that says add transition and from here
go for your color wipe and then you'll
have the same options right here so yeah
that's how color wipe transitions work
and I love that you can customize these
four colors and you can be creative with
these four colors you don't have to use
four colors you could do two and two of
the same and that way you have only two
different colors so feel free to be
creative with this feature also let me
know in the comments if you already have
it and if you don't again please be
patient I cannot help you get it faster
canvas rolling it out to everyone so
just a question of maybe days maybe
weeks in the worst case scenario but you
will eventually get this feature get
this new transition
[Music]
foreign
guys I have two more features to talk
about this next one belongs to another
category I call this category ecosystem
because it really has to do with the
canva apps or this new ecosystem of
canva apps that you can plug into canva
and extend the functionalities of canva
so this particular feature is a little
tweak a little Improvement to something
that already existed so what already
existed is this homepage app Discovery
Hub so if you from your canva homepage
if you go down to discover apps this
directory of apps right here is what
already existed but what's new here is
that canva will start suggesting apps
when you start typing in the search bar
right here so let's say for example I'm
typing Auto so we can see here Auto
enhance autofocus which are the names of
two different canva apps canva extension
so this really makes my life easier is
someone who might not know any of the
canva apps I can use this is indeed
pretty useful let's try another one
let's try QR and here again I have a
bunch of different suggestions QR code
generator Me QR generator Videocon stack
QR QR code so a bunch of different
suggestions right here for name of these
apps that I might not know about and
indeed I didn't know any of the names of
these apps so that's what the feature
does it's very simple it suggests name
of existing apps or specific searches
you might do that would lead you to some
relevant apps that you can discover in
canva let's do a last search for publish
okay because there are lots of
publishing apps here there is no
particular apps with the name publish in
their title in their name but I can
search for publish and now canva will
show me a bunch of apps that I can use
to publish my designs okay so you can
publish in flipping books Panda docs
issue you can publish on all of the
these different apps in canva but it
lets me really sort out I could try
color as well if I type in color and
here canva will show me a bunch of
different apps right here in their
ecosystem that have to do with colors
and tweaking colors so I thought I would
show you this little update it's not
nothing big nothing major here but
really improving the quality of life
when you search for apps and for those
of you who didn't know that canva had
apps I highly encourage you to use this
discover apps button it's right here on
your home page you don't have to scroll
or anything just look at this menu right
here click on discover apps and explore
so this is the same thing as going into
canva let me show you from an existing
document I'm going to go back to my
brainstorm presentation right here the
way you find these is simply by going to
the more button and then right here you
are in the different apps so you will
see most of the apps right right there
but for some of them like the publishing
apps for example you'll have to go to
the share button and then the more
button right here
and by scrolling down your different
options to publish a specific design you
will see more of them especially in the
more option right here you will see apps
that might not show up on the menu right
here on the left side so if you don't
find it here it's probably here under
the share button okay so that's what I
wanted to show you and also if you are a
developer and you are interested in
collaborating with canva for developing
specific apps or specific extensions
like the one I just showed you there is
a page on the canva website for you it's
called canva.com developers and this is
what it looks like so it's basically
building up on this announcement that
can be made at canva create back in
September where they announced a new
Marketplace a new Marketplace for app
developers who will be able to create
these extensions these applications that
will connect with canva so that page
right here build almost anything an
Empower 85 Plus million users actually
canva recently hit the 100 million users
but this page right here invites
developers to really understand how they
can create something using the canva API
that will potentially become an
extension a canva app in that ecosystem
okay so I am not sure what this
Marketplace is going to look like if
canva is going to somehow monetize this
I imagine that for developers there
should be some kind of monetary
incentive to incentivize them to create
content that connects with canva I am
not sure I'm not a developer myself but
if you are and are interested in knowing
more you can join the waiting list right
here from this homepage I'm going to
link that page in the description below
so you can easily find it later but yeah
I would definitely encourage you if you
are a developer if you are interested in
new opportunities to explore to at least
read this documentation discover this
landing page and see what canva has in
store for you
all right guys we made it to the last
new feature for today again we are
moving categories moving to the print
product category and I have two new
print products to talk about and
depending on where you live you might or
might not have these products available
to you yet so let's jump into the first
of these two new print product which is
the ability to create and print custom
envelopes with canva so for that let me
show you where to start start by
locating the print product category Okay
click here and because it's a new
product it's likely that you will see it
first right here in the popular uh so
for me it's right here otherwise you
probably will find it under your cards
and invites you see envelope C6 in
landscape I'm gonna click on that so
canva will open a canvas with the right
Dimension and show me a bunch of
different templates right here so these
are envelope templates they look nice
can click on any of them you can change
the information you can add your own
address your company logo your colors
everything basically is customizable and
you have all of these different
templates which do look nice so I'm
going to replace the current page this
is just another style here is yet
another style for maybe the end of the
year holidays so you have a bunch of
different templates that you can
customize once you are happy with it
just click on the print envelopes and
you will see how they look in a mock-up
but also you'll see like how they look
on the flat layer I would say you have
the dimension of your envelope and yeah
you can select the pages you want to
print because you could have like
different designs for the same envelope
and then choose okay which page and then
you have the price for the different
bundles of envelopes okay you see
starting at one envelope at 50 Cent 15
of a Euro 510 Etc so you can really go
ahead order your envelopes I like that
canva gives you the price per envelope
and yeah you'll have your custom
envelopes so on the technical side canva
communicated to us that these are
natural uncoated finish so it's easy to
write on the envelopes and on the back
of these envelopes and by all means I
have never seen them physically myself
but I'm looking forward to trying this
out so on the back of them you have this
adhesive strip that you can peel off and
to close to stick the back of your
envelope nice and tidy so these are for
the specs of the envelopes and the
products the print product will be
available or is already available to 100
of canva users in the USA Canada
Australia New Zealand European countries
and the UK so if you are in one of these
countries try out the envelopes that's a
new print product and last but not least
canva print now also offers bound
documents to allow you to pretty much
print your documents and bind them with
this little spiral thing in the middle
and flip them like a textbook or yeah a
bound document like the name indicates
now this is also to be found under the
canva print button right here the print
products and if you move over to the
second tab right here so under your
print product move over to the second
tab that says marketing click here and
you'll see bound documents okay so I'm
gonna create one right now and I'm gonna
populate this with some document that I
already have in this right format so I
have this other tab right here in which
I have poured all of the 18 pages of the
first issue of the run the magazine
which you might recognize from a
previous tutorial on this channel so I
have all of my pages right here and I'm
ready to print this as a print bound
document so click on the button right
here and you will see kind of how it
looks so this is pretty neat I can have
like the closest I can get to a real
magazine would probably be this right so
I'm going to close this and yeah you can
select the pages to print so here all of
the pages
that's great in the second menu right
here you can choose the style of paper
so you have standard paper yeah 120
grams and you have premium paper which
is thicker 148 grams and it's a thicker
more durable paper Choice let's go with
the premium how many so one document
would be 14 euros and then you have the
prices for more and more documents now
just like for the envelopes this new
print product is probably going to roll
out in the USA Canada Australia New
Zealand Europe zones where most of the
print products are concentrated at the
moment but I sincerely hope canva print
will make it all over the world at some
point as canva grows and grows their
Partnerships with printers all over the
world all right and this is it guys we
made it through the six new features and
I'm Gonna Leave You guys with Diana's
tutorial on element timing which I
mentioned earlier in the video because I
truly believe this is going to change
the way you create videos and animations
with canva thank you for watching I will
see you in the next video
