How to Control Timing in Canva

 

Many creators today do not know how to control timing. So, in Canva, you can also control your timing in Canva. The importance of Timing is that it determines when each text, image, clip, or element appears. Timing matters very well. One of the reasons is that if your text appears too fast, people cannot read it. If you allow it to stay too long, the video becomes boring. Then, if your music starts too early or too late, the emotion could be weak. So, If transitions are too slow, the video feels heavy. So, this is the reason we need timing. These are the steps we can take to control the timing: 

1. Click the element.
2. Adjust its duration on the timeline.
3. Drag the start or end point.
4. Preview the video.
5. Make corrections.

For subtitles, make sure that you keep each sentence short and give viewers enough time to read.

 

How to Add Subtitles in Canva

 

It is good to put subtitles in your videos. Subtitles will always  help the viewers understand your video even when they cannot hear the audio. You can follow these steps to add subtitles manually to your video: 

1. Listen to your video.
2. Add text for the first sentence.
3. Place it at the bottom of the screen.
4. Adjust the timing.
5. Add the next sentence.
6. Continue until the video is complete.
7. Preview everything.

While adding subtitles, please use short lines. Do not cover the speaker’s face. Also try to use readable fonts. Then avoid very small text. Keep subtitles consistent.
