I came across this channel and I felt in loove with it,these tips are so helpful a huge thanks for making this content.I have a question plz I'm selling digital wall art and I have to put my art in mockups to show people what it looks like,and every time on canva I have to upload the designs to each page that contains a mockup and adjust so the design fits perfectly the frame on the mockup. I was wondering if there is a feature on canva that allows you to put the designs on white space of the mockup automatically without having to do it manually (like smart mockups but on images that I uploaded) Thank you in advance

[@TeamRonDi]

Maybe you could achieve that with Bulk Create (Pro Feature). Have a look at this video (not the AI part, but the Bulk Create part): kzbin.info/www/bejne/iIqcgJKhq7pggLs

Ronny, I have a question? Can I use Canva Pro to create my website and sell my pdf sewing patterns that also need to be opened with acrobat reader so the buyer can choose which size dress they want to print to sew? Thank you for any help you can give me. Thank you 😊

[@TeamRonDi]

There is no automatic way to set that up via Canva at the moment. Let’s hope they give us more options for lead generation in the future 🤞

[@daron8982]

can ypu do all the disign with canva features with iphone?

[@TeamRonDi]

I believe you can create this same animated profile picture with Canva on your iPhone, yes.

[@spreadsheetssavvy]

Definitely a cool way to spice up our profiles!

[@TeamRonDi]

Totally!

[@RealtorKateSmith]

Great video, Ronny! Question regarding the size of gif files- as I am having persistent issue with this in Canva. Your gif in this case was 1080x1080, short-3 secs or so, yet I noticed that the size of your gif was only 5mbs. Which is very acceptable as you can optimize further on easy gif etc. But all of the files I have exported as .gifs - much smaller in size 500x500 and duration, less than 3 secs, are coming over 17-25Mbs??? When I have exported these as Mp4, they are all small size...So, how can I resolve this "big" issue I am having?

[@TeamRonDi]

Hi, The size of your GIF will depend on the number of elements/images and their size in your design. So I’m my case, I only had one photo and the BG, so it ended up not being too heavy. If you want lighter GIFs, remove some visual elements.

[@art_and_ideas]

Hey my gif image is show on gmail account but not shown in Google Chrome why on pc. Why?

Hi Rondi, I really appreciate the tutorial. Can you guys make a video on how to be a Canva expert. Maybe you can share the steps needed or share your journey to become a certified Canva Expert . I really appreciate any advice from you guys.

How gif profile is not working on Google Chrome

[@jasontriglia7455]

This video is great! One question. Do you know how to create a transparent background for gifs? I'm trying to create some animated stickers to load into Giphy to eventual use in IG stories however I can't figure out how to upload just my main circular image in the gif rather than the full square canvas with the background included. For my example, I'm trying to just have my circular logo spinning. In your video, you let gmail and tiktok crop the gif into a circle but I'm trying to figure out how to do that directly in Canva. Let me know!

[@TeamRonDi]

I see what you mean! And I’m not sure how you can remove the BG of your GIFs. I’d try the video BG Remover in Canva.

[@SELFLEARNSQUAD]

Hi can you make cinematic intro in canva?

[@TeamRonDi]

Here's a video about making intros: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n6KammmLeZiMhdU

[@AndrewAiden-tz4po]

Hey, the animated profile only shows in Gmail web. In Gmail web I can see my gif but in phones only solid yellow background is there.

[@TeamRonDi]

I tried on both desktop and mobile. The fact you only see a solid yellow is probably because you applied the effect on the first and last step. Try sending yourself a test email on mobile and you'll see that the photo is animated on the receiving end 😉

[@adv.payalgupta]

Doubt 15:49 how to do this in windows? What is the shortcut key

[@theplacebymilenasergieva7094]

How do you add yourself in this circle while you are working on canva?

[@TeamRonDi]

We film our talking heads and screen recording separately. Then our video editor puts the talking head in a circle using Premiere Pro.

I’d love to add an animated company logo instead of a static one. I know its possible but I don’t know how!!

[@TeamRonDi]

Here's a video I did about email signature a while ago. I believe you could just swap one of the PNGs for a GIF to have an animated element. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iIitZWqXmtJ2Z7c

[@lmwms1]

I did an animated gmail signature and loved it. Only problem was that sometimes it took a very long time to load or wouldn’t load in some of my emails to potential clients. So I removed the animation and just used Roni’s tutorial for a custom email signature. I love it!
