    • @createdbywayne

      Well I still think that there are some limitations with this caption tool (compared to other apps) but if you just use simple captions, it's great.
      I checked and it IS available on my mobile app, so I would update the app and check, and if it still doesn't show when you insert a video and open the TEXT tab, then contact Canva to see why that may be!

    • @createdbywayne
      @createdbywayne  11 дней назад

      Once you have edited you captions, you cn click on the text box that contains them and choose to 'ungroup' - and that allows more granular control. But it does mean they become 'text boxes' rather than 'captions'...so it's best to do that as your final step.

  • @cocoscreations74
    @cocoscreations74 Месяц назад

    Thank you VERY much for this awesome and helpful video 💛- I do believe individual changes are possible if you go to 'position' and ungroup the captions...this way you can stylize every caption as a separate layer and make adjustments to only a few sentences + even adjust the timing of the captions....not sure if this is helpful or even new?? (it is something I just discovered by giving it a try myself) 😊

    • @createdbywayne
      @createdbywayne  Месяц назад +1

      Yes - you can indeed! Thanks for mentioning that! When I filmed this you couldn't adjust timings once you ungrouped - but I see that is working now! 🎉🎉
      Although if you do that you essentially end up with individual blocks of text, that cannot be uniformly adjusted after that - so best to be done right at the end when you are certain there are no more 'universal' changes you want to make...especially if its along-ish video 🤣!

      It could be because you are not using a ‘video’ or ‘social media’ design as a basis, or have not inserted the video into the page before checking? It’s working ok for me so I’m afraid that’s the only reason I can think of!

      @createdbywayne  Месяц назад +2

      There are some Canva apps that allow you to create AI Voiceovers from text, but I'd be surprised if Canva gets to a point where it generates b-roll etc automatically like InVision. But it's perfect for being creative and adding your own clips to match your audio.

    Hi Wayne, Saw this and decided to dive right in on a video I did last week for LinkedIn as I want to put it onto my RUclips Channel but couldnt use it as on my workspce the only dynamic text option I have is page numbers. Could it be that there is a geographic phasing on rolling this out? I'm in the UK and have a Pro plan and I'm up to date with updates.

    • @createdbywayne
      @createdbywayne  Месяц назад +1

      That's very strange (and annoying 😜). Two things to check are that a) you are working in a Video or Social Media design to start with in Canva; and b) that you have uploaded and inserted your video into the design before checking if the caption tool is available (it doesn't show in the dynamic text section until the video is actually on the page). If that doesn't work I would suggest getting in touch with Canva - I'm in the UK and it's available to me so I really don't know why it wouldn't be for you! Wish I could be of more help!

      @@mania7927 If you wanted to do it manually, I mean you would have to create a text box for each separate caption box yourself and then you could format/animate that as you wished. If you use the caption tool to create the captions, anything you apply to one, will apply to all the others. You cannot format one caption individually.

      That sometimes happens if you have selected the text within the box rather than the whole caption box (which includes all the text). Don't double click the text to edit it, rather select the box with a single click. Or use the POSITION > LAYERS panel to select the captions track and then apply formatting.
