loved this. is there a way to create a custom frame in canva. I have a product, a cosmetic bottle, that I want to cut out and use as a frame, and then do what you mentioned above using that. Not sure if that's possible with canva.

Yes. You can use the same technique. I’ll do a video this week on using this with grids.

can you do a video on how to use these frames when doing mock ups for glass can cups, mason jars, tumblers. I want to create my own smart mock up, but can't seem to get it to do it if there are multiply views on cup.

[@DarrenM]

There’s smartmockups in Canva that you can use. There are more on the pro plan here is the video kzbin.info/www/bejne/eHeriGmkqKh7os0 If you’re not on Canva pro there is a 45 day trial in the description of my videos. 😊

[@xeonj]

Hello Darren, do you know a way to have the "$" photo frame? Canva doesn't seem to have that option. Just wondering if there's a way to add it. Thanks!

[@DarrenM]

You can create a custom photo frame if you want to. I’ve a Mac option I did a few weeks ago and will be doing an update soon.

[@xeonj]

@@DarrenM Yah I saw your other video. But not really what I'm looking for. I am looking for something to insert a photo inside just like the templates from Canva. While with a background already.

[@sup9441]

Is there any way to stretch the frame? Like, elongated or something similar?

[@DarrenM]

Not with frames. You can with grids.

[@helenhassall278]

Hi there, just searching for an answer to a canva question and came across this video. Are you able to add a number of images to a frame in canva? Looking to create a photo collage in the shape of a 40 but don't seem to be able to add more than one image to each number. Wondered if it was possible to do this with canva? TIA!

[@DarrenM]

Create your collage, export it and then add that image to your chosen frame.

[@aspealioshis]

can i just make the image smaller it seems i can move it around and make it larger but it will not shrink down

[@DarrenM]

You’re limited to the smallest it can be is the size of the frame. If you need the element show to be smaller you’d have to find a different image or make the part you want to show smaller with more space around it.

[@VioletMidnightProductions]

😢 I just tried frames for the first time and only the frames and not the photos download. Any advice?

[@DarrenM]

Sounds like a glitch. If your image is inside the frame, there is no reason it should not show up. If this happens again, let Canva support know

[@blindship5792]

Hi Darren a quick question please Can we merge TWO shapes like a square & a circle in canva to form a single shape? (like we can in illustrator?)

[@DarrenM]

Great question. No you can't merge in the same way as illustrator. You can group them so they can be selected and moved as one. But when changing colour you need to select each shape.

[@blindship5792]

@@DarrenM ok thank you.. it's just that when I put 2 semi-translucid shapes side by side & when they overlap, at the intersection the color becomes darker

[@ninagrace-lee8323]

How did you manage to create the drop shadows for the frames? I’m struggling with this and can’t find a way to do it with frames, not just basic shapes

[@cassiachisholm2787]

Does this work for the free version because I can't seem to add images to frames at all

[@DarrenM]

All frames are free to use, you just need to drag the image over the frame to place it in there. You can then double click to adjust the size or crop. Hope this helps.

[@silaazzouz3101]

There is also an option where you have an image and a part of the image is a frame. Could you explain is how to use it. Thank you!

[@DarrenM]

Is it a different frame you’ve seen maybe? I did a video on some hidden frame elements here kzbin.info/www/bejne/l6TTZq2eodygr9k

[@silaazzouz3101]

Darren.. could you make a video about it or tell it to us in the comments?

[@silaazzouz3101]

Thank you!!! I will watch your video and tell you if it is what I am talking about.

@@DarrenM Oh perfect! Thank you

[@GabrielleRenteria]

Can you do this, but with a video? I'm trying to recreate a VR frame with one video playing inside the two frames as you did with the images. Or suggest a way to accomplish that in Canva or Adobe App??

[@DarrenM]

Yes it is possible with video. You just need to line them up. There is a section in this video that does it with video v's an image. :-) let me know if you need further help and I can do a more detailed video on how to do this with video.

[@GabrielleRenteria]

@@DarrenM I found out what I want to do in Canva isn't yet available! Thank you for this, this still helped me! Originally I wanted to do that, but I saw a stock video that had a VR simulator with a green screen area and I wanted to input my own video into the stock video's green screen. Someone suggested After Effects to key the green screen so I'm trying to do that now!

[@DougKenney1]

This is great, but would love you to do a video that shows how you lined up the walking across the street video along the three frames like you did with the still images.

[@kristinbrander6700]

when I add my image to the frame is there any way i can shrink/expand (sizing) the image inside it so that the image is seen at its best?

[@DarrenM]

Hi Kristin, When you have added the image to the frame, you can double click the image and this will then allow you to size and move the image about as you need. You can only go as small as the frame though. :-) I'm doing an updated video on frame and grids this week, so will be sure to include this in the video.

[@kennydervishi306]

How can i do the opposite? Adding multiple images into one frame?

[@DarrenM]

The way to do this would be to create your image of multiple images using grids. Export that and then insert it in to your frame.

[@kennydervishi306]

@@DarrenM thanks for the reply!

[@shrektheogre2844]

how do u do the one with like a torn paper in cava

[@DarrenM]

Apply the same principles really. Add the image and stretch to match the picture up.

[@dmbsweet]

I keep hovering over the frame but it doesn't look like it's taking it. When I let go of the mouse, the photo is not inside the frame. Help! ha

[@DarrenM]

I’ve seen this reported as a bit of a bug at the moment. Try refreshing your page and this should work. The other option is to add it to the page first and then drag over to the frame. :)

[@dmbsweet]

@@DarrenM Thank you!

[@babeedoll64]

When I drag my image to my frame it doesn’t auto size like yours is doing...that a pro feature ?

[@DarrenM]

Double click on your image and you will be able to resize to fit as you need :-)

[@shesellsshop641]

Hi! Is there a way i can make an image from library like a laptop with transparent screen to be a frame? I want to put an image inside the screen of a laptop/mobile phone etc but i cant seem to do it. Thanks in advance

[@DarrenM]

Hi, I've tried a few images and have not been able to make this happen. The only way you could do this in Canva is if you place the image over the top and crop the image to the inside of the screen. If you are wanting it to do this with video, you'd have to put a green screen over it and crop accordingly from what I have been able to do. Hope this helps.

[@shesellsshop641]

@@DarrenM wow thank you for the reply. I thought i was just missing something since there are quite a few gadgets with changeable monitor "image" from the ready made presentation templates.

Very cool! Quick question - I understand how to duplicate for an exact frame but how do you do it when the frames are different, like your 2nd example with the circle and flower frames? Thanks in advance!

[@DarrenM]

Double click the image and line them up. The image has to cover both frames though in order to work.

[@esilva7071]

How do you do this from your phone?

It’s the same process on the phone. You just need to stretch the image over to line up.

Great video, thank you! Maybe you could help me with something. Would you know how to create a «custom frame» ? Perhaps, I would like to make a template of a repetitive shape and add different background images to it(just like a frame). I've seen people do it, but they won't reveal their secret hehe. It is for business purposes and I can't figure it out.

[@DarrenM]

Hi Laurie, currently there isn't a way to make a custom frame in Canva. You can maybe crop a grid or another frame in to the space you want your image, but it will depend on the space you want the image to show. Feel free to send me an example over on my instagram and I'll have a look for you. It might be something I can di a future video on.
