6 NEW Game-Changing Canva Features that are HIDDEN in Plain Sight (Just Released) 🤯

About this video

Kate Hayes walks through six quietly rolled-out Canva features. First, updates to the Vectorify app (marked as Canva Pro): converting a raster photo to a vector, choosing full colour or black and white, adjusting the number of colours and a simplify slider, using pre-made colour palettes, and a new edit colours and shapes menu that lets you recolour one colour area or erase a selected shape. Second, Image to Video under Magic Studio, where the Smart option automatically animates a still photo into, she says, a 3-second video, or Custom lets you prompt the motion. Third, updated grouped elements: you can now click into, resize, move or crop one element while it stays grouped, and ungroup a single element without ungrouping the rest. Fourth, Motion Text, with animated templates you can customise for wording, font, colours, outline and extrude effects, animation style and speed. Fifth, Type Studio, offering warp, decoration, shade, gradients and especially textures for a grunge or stylised text look, which she calls the most option-rich text app she has tried. Sixth, Translate, which converts selected text or whole pages into another language, illustrated with English to Spanish, with tone choices. She also promotes her free 45-minute digital products masterclass and a paid Facebook coaching group.

Key takeaways

• Vectorify now lets you control colour count, simplification, palettes, and recolour or erase individual colour/shape areas in a converted vector
• Image to Video’s Smart option auto-animates a still image; Custom lets you describe the motion you want in a prompt
• Grouped elements can now be edited individually without ungrouping, and a single element can be ungrouped alone
• Motion Text and Type Studio add animated, textured and heavily customisable text effects beyond plain static text
• Translate can convert selected text or entire pages to another language with a choice of tone of voice
