Canva’s video editor makes simple social videos easy for non-editors. You start from a video template — Reels, TikToks, YouTube intros, ads or presentations — or upload your own clips, then edit on a simple timeline in the browser or mobile app.
Features for video include:
- Thousands of video templates for social media and marketing
- A drag-and-drop timeline for trimming, splitting and arranging clips
- Animations and transitions for text and graphics
- Stock video, music and sound effects
- AI tools for backgrounds, captions and generation
- Magic Resize to reformat for different platforms
- Brand Kits and team collaboration
Because video sits alongside Canva’s design tools, it’s easy to keep videos consistent with your social graphics, thumbnails and presentations.
The free plan is permanent and includes many video templates and basic editing. Canva Pro, at about $18 per month on monthly billing (less annually), unlocks premium templates, stock footage and music, Background Remover for video, Magic Resize and more AI credits.
Canva’s editor is simpler than CapCut’s or InVideo’s, with limited advanced effects, color grading and audio tools. For simple social videos made alongside your other designs, though, it’s excellent.
