Can you use chromecast or something instead of a usb, so you dont have to take the usb out everytime you want to change something on the menu. If the tv is hanging above, you have to get up everytime to take the usb out which is not very handy.

[@UBMD]

Mage you just blew my mind! It didn’t even occur to me when creating this video. I don’t have a Chromecast but that sounds like it could work. I know you could cast on a Roku device so why not a Chromecast! If you test this option please let the community know if it worked. There are a lot of people who might benefit from this. I really appreciate your solution and your time Mage. Thank you for your support! Richard

@@abdullahsubhani2775 thank you so much for taking the time to watch my video.

So you need a monitor or TV set that has the capability to loop the usb photos? And will it automatically animate ?

Hey@@broccolihart1! Thank you for watching my tutorial! For this to work you would in fact need a tv that supported a USB, and that would loop the final video.

@@UBMD I actually have 2 questions. Now that I have seen how to make a lovely ad for the ad board, how to you actually get in on the monitor? I think you mentioned USB drive. Could you do a vid showing how to get it onto a monitor? 2nd question is, this school year, I discovered and made many ads on Slides and wanted to know if Slides can be transported over to finish up on Canva? Thanks for the speedy response!

[@UBMD]

It’s actually really easy. Once you have your design all set you would export as an MP4 video. Then you would upload that video onto your USB as you would any other file. Then you would plug your USB into your tv considering it supports USB. Then you would have to follow your TVs instructions on how to access your video file. From there you can play the MP4 you exported from Canav and set the video to loop. It’s as easy as that. Also great suggestion! I should do a follow up guide on this process. Thank you for the suggestion! I hope this helps.

[@UBMD]

Sorry I missed your second question. If you made the slides in Power Point I’m not aware of any way to import it into Canva and keep things editable. I’ll have to look into this. If you really wanted them in Canva you could always export an image from Power Point and upload it into Canva. If you happen to find any info on this question please let me know.

Hi, I would like to make a portrait menu just like you did, I also made the dimensions just like you (1080x1920) but when i view this on my Tv its not in portrait, its in landscape with blackborders on the right and left. So to make a portrait menu I would have to edit the menu at 1920x1080 right? but its wierd to edit like that cuz i have to look at my monitor at a 90 degree angle while i edit. Is there another way to do it?

[@UBMD]

👋 Hey there DleViXer, this is such a great question! I ran into the exact issue a long time again and thought to do that same, but like you said working at 90 degrees will kill your neck. The solution would be change the orientation on your tv and not your Canva project. So I would keep it at 1080x1920 and just export the file onto a USB. From there you would connect that to your TV and just change the viewing orientation. So no need to mess up your neck with the changes. I made a video on the upload and viewing setting for a horizontal digital menu that should also help. Have a look at that and just comment back here if you have any questions. Thank you for all your time and support! Richard

Thanks for the video . But I have a question . I just realized I need to turn my screens (43”) vertical would the custom dimensions be the same just reversed.

[@UBMD]

Thank you for watching the video and for the support! If I understand correctly you would just need to switch out the custom dimensions. So for example, if you had your width as 43” and your height as 20” you would just switch it to 20” width and 43” height. I hope this helps, if not just comment back and I’ll see how I can help you.

Hello sukhjindersingh6800, I'm sorry, but I'm having some difficulty fully understanding your question. If you're inquiring about the possibility of using three TV screens as one long screen, then the answer is yes, it is indeed possible. However, please keep in mind that designing, animating, and adjusting such a setup would require a significant amount of time and effort.

Cool. However, Canva is ball-and-chain-ware. The format is locked to their platform. A change in terms, pricing, or they fail, and your work evaporates. And the skill you had in working on the platform becomes worthless.

[@UBMD]

Hey there chriscaldwell4141, You are 100% correct about that. While Canva is great for small teams or individuals who can’t afford a product like Photoshop it does sometimes have a dark cloud over it. I still think it teaches people about design principles like layout, color and hierarchy. I believe Canva will be purchased in the near future by Adobe for a very large sum of money.
