NEW Canva Features That Will CHANGE Your Design Game! 🔥 | CANVA UPDATE October 2024
About this video
A walkthrough of Hayes’s top five new Canva features from this update, noting some are free and some are Canva Pro only. First, Magic Write, Canva’s AI text generator, is upgraded with ‘more like this’ to generate another version from the same prompt and a second button to request a specific change — her demo generates a caption for a 50% off Black Friday sale with Taylor Swift references, then regenerates it using only one reference. Second, an Artlist collection of cinematic stock videos is searchable in Elements, and can be narrowed by adding a word, as in a search for ocean videos. Third, new photo animation styles include brush, ink, digital, gradient, sketch and spray paint, applied on enter, exit or both, with extra Pro styles, plus page-level animation for all elements together. Fourth, interactive charts such as a radar chart let you edit data and colours, then hover over sections during a presentation to highlight them and show their data. Fifth and her favourite, Dream Lab is Canva’s new text-to-image tool powered by Leonardo AI: at rollout, free users get 20 prompts and Pro users 500 per month. You pick a style (such as cinematic, 3D render, minimalist, sketch, pop art or vector) and aspect ratio, write a detailed prompt — her example is a happy puppy in a blue bandana in a field of flowers under a pastel sky — and get four options to download or use in a design.
