The 5 *NEW* Features Canva JUST released (that will majorly level up your design game) 🚀

About this video

Kate Hayes demos several new Canva updates for designers and digital product sellers. She shows the Light Lab app, where with a photo selected you apply light effects from presets, drag colored light source circles to reposition them, and adjust intensity, distance and radius before saving. She shows recording your own voiceover by adding a video, going to Uploads and Record yourself, recording with the red button, and editing the resulting audio track in the timeline, contrasting it with the previous generate an AI voice option. She shows easier brand template access, where brand templates now appear in the create design menu and in the Templates panel inside a project, demonstrating applying all 51 pages of a slide deck brand template. She demos improvements to the Bulk Create app using a design for Bible verses about hope: she has ChatGPT create a CSV with 20 verses in reference and text columns, uploads the data, connects each text box to a column, notes the field limit increased from 60 to 150, connects data from Canva Sheets as a new option, and uses advanced options to name each generated page using a column such as the reference, for example Jeremiah 29:11. Finally she shows Canva Code from Canva AI, generating a simple countdown timer counting down from 15 minutes, then toggling Show code and using Copy code to paste the code outside Canva on third-party sites instead of only in a Canva website.
