Hi Kate! ☺️ I don’t see an option for the 30 day free trial for canva. It just gives me the 14 day trial option. Is there somewhere else I should be looking?

[@tammylavarro7202]

I looked at a couple of other you tube videos but they were too fast and didn't hit all the beginner basics. This is the best one I've found so far.

[@Colombo5218]

Absolutely superb! Truly BLESSED to have watched this video after grinding my teeth TRYING to watch a few terrible videos. What shone through to me in your video was the highly intelligent path you took me on, leaving me very enriched! Thank you. Most grateful.

[@KateHayes]

Thank you friend! So glad this was helpful for you!

[@Growbacktoyourroots9]

My four month old loves you 😂been watching a few videos and he just laughs and coos at the TV. You have a great face and voice for kid videos. Thanks for the great info!

[@KateHayes]

Aww how precious! Love that! Thanks so much for sharing… makes my day 🥰

[@dorothy135]

Thank you. I just started using Canva to do some video Slideshows for a website and the interface is something i've been trying to kind of get a handle on. The video was concise and took away a lot of the confusion I had about canva. Thank you. I was able to completely remodel a whole section of the website with before and after videos and candle was just completely indispensable in these efforts.

[@KateHayes]

Excited for you and happy to help! 😊

[@shirleylisbon4943]

I didn’t see where I can take the class. I have Canva pro and there is a graphic that I can’t see to change

[@RareJuls]

Thank you. I've watched a healthy handful of these Canva tutorials and yours was more helpful than most. Great job.

[@KateHayes]

You’re welcome! Glad it helped!

[@feminiqueming9330]

PERFECT TIMING, I needed an updated canva tutorial thank youuuuu!!!

[@KateHayes]

You’re welcome!

[@valdadevries616]

I am a small business owner and nowadays, if you own a business you automatically have to become a social media marketing creator as well. I have tried so many lessons and videos before watching this one and everything was extremely overwhelming for someone who has never ever worked on Canva, this has been the best one so far, thank you so very much, I feel a little less overwhelmed and more confident ❤

[@KateHayes]

Aww thanks friend! I appreciate the encouragement! Glad it helped!

[@KateHayes]

Aw thank you friend, so very glad to hear this video was so helpful for you. Cheering you on!! 💛

[@BeaRam-jg5ec]

So far, I agree with you. I'm on the same boat. Much success!

[@lisaschmitt5813]

I am looking for sublimation items and mock-ups for tumblers. Do you do any training on that and also do some designing in Canva. Let me know. Thank you.

[@alvinpaoloubando2345]

Very concise and love the step by step teaching

[@KateHayes]

Thank you!

[@KateHayes]

Happy to help!

[@bethw7]

Thank you! This is EXACTLY what I was looking for! 🤩

[@KateHayes]

So glad!! 😀

[@camillareklameservice]

Thanks for a great video! Have you used Canva to edit this video too? Or what do you use? :)

[@MsDancingWind]

Thank you for this video! I am wanting to create children’s books and your video is really helpful to see what Canva is capable of and how to do it!

[@KateHayes]

You are so welcome!

[@superbvajhuvina]

I'm so inspired by your entrepreneurial spirit, Kate! I've been searching for a way to make extra money on the side, and your suggestions are exactly what I needed. The way you present the information is so motivating, and I'm feeling so much more hopeful about achieving my financial goals. Thank you for sharing your journey and for giving me the courage to pursue my own dreams!

[@KateHayes]

You are so welcome!

[@ΗΣΑΙΑΓΕΩΡΓΙΑΔΟΥ]

[@AnnetteN-z3k]

[@kimmis1214]

Great video! You explain very well can't wait to watch more of your videos. Going to try Canva with your link.

[@KateHayes]

So good to hear! Thank you!

[@AnnetteN-z3k]

I love this video. However maybe do another one where you talk slower pls. Tx

[@bluemiller7587]

Wish I could slow this down. Lots of info

[@KateHayes]

Hi there, you should be able to adjust the video speed within the video settings. :)

[@AnnetteN-z3k]

Hi Kate.

[@dansr8342]

Kate ... excellent video - just what I was looking for to get a snap shot of Canva. I am a photographer and had Canva make me a logo - one of them was phenomenal. Now ... I clicked on it, but can't figure out how to actually edit it - any suggestions ??? So ... to be clear ... I want to edit what Canva generated for me (changing my name and font, etc. and then .... making it into a dng to be able to drop it into my photo's

[@AngelLopez-e7c3m]

great video, thanks for the tips!

[@KateHayes]

You’re welcome!

[@mohammedishaq-k8q]

THANKS

[@KateHayes]

You’re welcome!

[@davidpoo66]

Hi im trying to synchronize 2 videos in my endscreen to start and end the sametime; however i see nothing on the web to help me?😮

[@AshikurRahaman-lr6ul]

Thanks dear. From Bangladesh

[@KateHayes]

You’re welcome!

[@southernbellcooks5175]

Thanks so much! Can you please tell us how to make a font transparent outline? I know how to add color outlines, but can't figure out how to make transparent, when is necessary when making images for tshirts. Thanks so much!

[@simonnguyen237]

the canva tutorial looks nothing like the canva i have is this the free version?

[@kateo6863]

Thanks

[@KateHayes]

You’re welcome!

[@coriculp]

I understand what you shared but no one talks about saving, opening, closing, etc. Some of the very basic functions that it’s not intuitively obvious how to do. I currently have 8 Canva windows open because every time I click to create, a new window opens…leaving my previous job hanging open. Can you address tasks like that?

[@KateHayes]

Thanks for the feedback - we'll consider this! I know it can be a bit confusing when first starting. Generally as long as you're connected to internet, Canva will save your designs automatically, so you should be able to close them out and access them from the Canva home page. You can also organize your files into folders and sections - I touch on this a bit in the beginning of this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/enepmJaqa8yhnbcsi=YLhaP6rbp-HMe74L

[@deenathbala2776]

Nice video

[@KateHayes]

Thanks

[@SerialBusiness]

Can i have a 30 day trial

[@Nimrod-q2c]

can i import audio

[@RoADMan042]

Quick question, If you get added to a team, would you get the pro package automatically or do you still need to pay forbthe pro😊

[@KateHayes]

If you’re added to a team, you will have access to the pro features. :)

[@MarcGallamoza]

At 9:59, how did you move the image freely?

[@KateHayes]

I used the background remover tool to isolate the umbrella, and generally you should be able to click on any image and hold the click while moving your mouse, to move an image.

[@MarcGallamoza]

@@KateHayes For some reason, it started working when I tried to grab it and moving it around last night

[@karenbull3921]

Hi Kate I'm really new to canva and i have just opened an etsy site making wedding items, but I'm struggling with my photos. Sorry to ask but if you can point me in the right direction I'd be very great full. I'm taking clear photos with my camera but when i upload them into canva and add my watermark all's still fine. Then i download the photo to my mac and its a tiny picture in my downloads??? I've done about 50-70 photos to see where I'm going wrong but they are all the same.....then if I zoom in to enlarge the tiny photo in etsy, because I've had to enlarge the download so much they are then blurred if you can help me its just the tiny download bit form canva i think ???? thank you karen

[@ni-s378]

Copy right issues?

[@tomhufnagel6812]

Say I just finished a project and want to close it and start another. I can't seem to find any squares with an X inside. Can anyone help?

[@joancofell2747]

SLOW DOWN PLEASE - SUPPOSED TO BE FOR BEGINNERS!

[@PavedParadise]

I ran it at .75x speed

[@ni-s378]

But i thought you cant use canva elements due to copyright issues

[@jamiedouglas9414]

Can anyone explain to me why I don't have text or design on the left hand side? I am trying to wrap-text around an image, but I don't even have a text feature to play around with this. I've tried erasing cookies and my cache. I'm using Google web-browser, and I signed up for Canva Pro, but I can't tell if I'm in it (it's the 30 day free trial). Send help!

[@kristenellington6353]

Wow you go to fast

[@prabhatpaudel321]

[@juleshucke8297]

Bookmarked for later! I'm working through the DPC class and got muddled. There's a "watch first" video in the Designing with Canva module that explains all the updates--but I knew nothing about Canva to start with, so trying to keep in mind what's "new" and different from the version of Canva in the rest of the video series in that module is giving me some problems. Hopefully this video will help.

[@KateHayes]

Hey friend! Yes, we recently added that in front of the others for anyone who might be working through it while watching so there would be less confusion since a few things got moved around. Feel free to watch the main lessons first and that one after if that way works better for you! ❤️

[@shessobrauny4753]

You completely skipped over how to edit a template. This is my hurdle as simple as it sounds.

[@joancofell2747]

She goes TOO FAST!

[@ashtadii_21]

yeah.. same here

[@JahDéPage]

Same!

[@clemke1044]

At the top of your video, click the settings wheel and adjust playback speed to 75%. Works great. Although she sounds a little drunk as some of the words are slightly slurred!

[@AhmetKirgin-y7l]

Why are you talking so fast??

[@nextlevelfitnesstraining]

Thank you for your tutorial. But there is no Canva for free. There is a free trial. But not the ability to use it for free. So experimenting with what your teaching was not possible.

[@KateHayes]

Hey friend, they do have a free forever plan. The free trial I mentioned is to try out their upgraded plan, Canva Pro, for 30 days :)

[@DaveClick1220-wz8ed]

You saved me a lot of wasted time! Thanx

[@XylerAyala]

2025? Are you a time traveler or??

[@KateHayes]

Nope, not a time traveler… just preparing for the coming year :)

[@TalkwithAnaaya]

Dear Kate I loved the video but it’s still 2024

[@KateHayes]

Yes! We are making it as people look ahead to next year, as many people look to research in the fall for a new business launch in January.

[@amoywilliams9732]

None of yall explanation helped me and I know I'm no dumb 😢
