In this guide, we will create a sample video to show you how you can set time to make creative and engaging animations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"set-time-for-animation-in-canva\">Set Time for Animation in Canva<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Start by opening the project you\u2019re working on from <strong>Resent design<\/strong> on Canva Home. If you haven\u2019t started yet, click on the <strong>Create a design<\/strong> button and choose <strong>Presentation<\/strong> or <strong>Video<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-greenshift-blocks-image gspb_image gspb_image-id-gsbp-5114d443-2f23\" id=\"gspb_image-id-gsbp-5114d443-2f23\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pttrns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Create-a-design-2.png\" data-src=\"\" alt=\"Create a design\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1487\" height=\"597\"\/><\/div>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"2\">\n<li>We have suggested you select <strong>Presentation\/Video<\/strong> as animations fit well with these. If you\u2019re working on animations for the first time, we suggest you experiment on videos for better results.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Once the design is loaded, make changes as per your requirements. To make the process quick, use free video templates from the <strong>Design<\/strong> option present on the left.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-greenshift-blocks-image gspb_image gspb_image-id-gsbp-ed8e2c48-69d4\" id=\"gspb_image-id-gsbp-ed8e2c48-69d4\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pttrns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Video-templates.png\" data-src=\"\" alt=\"Video templates\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1814\" height=\"676\"\/><\/div>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"4\">\n<li>To start working with animations, you need to add an element to the video; it can be text, shape, image, etc. Now click on the added element to reveal options at the top, and among them, navigate to <strong>Animate<\/strong> and click on it.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-greenshift-blocks-image gspb_image gspb_image-id-gsbp-0206403c-a23a\" id=\"gspb_image-id-gsbp-0206403c-a23a\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pttrns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Animate-button.png\" data-src=\"\" alt=\"Animate button\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1807\" height=\"674\"\/><\/div>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"5\">\n<li>By doing so, you\u2019re displayed with the <strong>Element<\/strong> <strong>Animations<\/strong> tab on the left as you choose an element to animate.

However, if you want the element added to remain static, <strong>select the Page\/Design<\/strong> instead and repeat <strong>Step 4. <\/strong>Doing so, you are displayed with <strong>Page Animations<\/strong> on the left, and selecting any animation applies only to the page<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-greenshift-blocks-image gspb_image gspb_image-id-gsbp-bcbfb66e-9159\" id=\"gspb_image-id-gsbp-bcbfb66e-9159\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pttrns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Page-animations.png\" data-src=\"\" alt=\"Page animations\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1812\" height=\"666\"\/><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"wrapping-up\">Wrapping Up<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Congratulations on learning how to control an animation in Canva!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While the steps above increase or decrease the duration of the animation, if you\u2019re looking for more control that lets you set the time in seconds, Canva lacks one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Irrespective of the limitation, if you\u2019re working on basic projects like presentations that don\u2019t need animation time accuracy, Canva gets you all covered. However, if you aren\u2019t happy with the results, use dedicated video editors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\" id=\"related-reading\">Related Reading<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pttrns.com\/how-to-make-a-gif-in-canva\/\">How To Make a GIF in Canva<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pttrns.com\/how-to-remove-gif-background-in-canva\/\">How To Remove GIF Background in Canva<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pttrns.com\/how-to-save-a-gif-to-your-phone-iphone-and-android\/\">How To Save a GIF to Your Phone (iPhone and Android)<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Are you working with animations for the first time on Canva?
