  • Action: What the subject is doing.
  • Setting: The location and surrounding environment.
  • Camera Angle: Wide shot, close-up, low angle, or overhead view.

Common Questions About Canva's AI Video Generator

Should I write prompts in English or Vietnamese?

You can enter prompts in Vietnamese, but Canva works best with English. If your Vietnamese prompt doesn't produce the results you want, try translating it to English for better accuracy.

How long can AI videos be on Canva?

Currently, each video generation produces up to 8 seconds of content. The exact duration may vary depending on your Canva subscription tier.

Can I edit videos after they're generated?

Absolutely. After generation, you can trim clips, apply effects, add transitions, use filters, and incorporate additional elements using Canva's editing suite.
