[@StephanieDale22]

Fabulously useful thank you. Especially appreciated the woops moments and showing fast corrections.

[@jeevanicharika]

@@StephanieDale22 I'm so glad it was useful! That's interesting that you found the slip ups and corrections useful. I was wondering about editing them out. Perhaps, I'll leave it alone.

[@ZaraDoyle-n9d]

You're absolutely brilliant! Thank you so much.

[@jeevanicharika]

You are so welcome! Tell all your friends 😁

[@clarehollingworth2531]

This was really helpful, thank you! And thank you Suzie for requesting it!

[@jeevanicharika]

That's great to hear! Please share with anyone who might find it useful (and please subscribe - it really helps me!)

[@philipclark8307]

Well made and thought out. Very helpful, although it would have been good to experience the short video with the sound you added.

[@jeevanicharika]

Thank you. I had intended to include the sound for the clip, but it somehow didn’t get captured. If this was useful to you, please share with any other writers who’d find it interesting.

[@uirebit-author]

Bravo for tutorial, Rodha! Tip: at 2:07 you don't need to go back manually. Just press the Ctrl and Z key combination, that's enough.

[@jeevanicharika]

That's true. Thanks.

[@Greatapp446]

Excellent video. Thank you for creating it!!!

[@jeevanicharika]

You're welcome. I'm glad it was useful.

[@DeborahCarrAuthor]

That was very helpful, thank you. You've inspired me to try and do something with one of my books now.

[@jeevanicharika]

I'm so glad! Please spread the word to other writer friends who might find it useful.

[@LyndsayConstable]

Thank you!

You're welcome

[@sarahlovesbooks31]

Thanks so much for this Rhoda. Once uploaded, what are the next steps? Is it free to promote in Tiktok? Thanks again for your help with this

[@jeevanicharika]

Yes. If you've only used Canva free elements, then you can promote on Tiktok and Instagram. If you've used Canva Pro elements, you need to have a Canva Pro account (or pay for each use, which adds up quite quickly).

[@lindaacaster9172]

Very interesting. Thanks for an insight.

[@jeevanicharika]

Thanks Linda, I’m glad it was helpful. If there’s anything else you’d like me to cover, let me know!

Does Canva use text to speech, A1 voice over?

[@jeevanicharika]

You can't convert text to speech in Canva natively (yet! There's a new update coming soon). But if you make your voice over and save it as an MP3, you can add it to your Canva project quite easily. (Upload file, find it again in 'uploads' in the audio section. Drag and drop. You can then move it around until everything is in the right place.) Does that answer your question?

[@jeevanicharika]

Actually - I think this might be coming soon!

[@darleenturner7152]

what dose this cost

[@jeevanicharika]

Canva has a free tier. You can do most of this on the free tier.
