Canva's video editor is simple and easy to use. It's not as advanced as some video editing software, but the upside is that it isn't as hard to learn. It covers all the basics that you need to put together a video.

I'll show you around the Canva video editor from creating a video project and understanding the layout of the workspace, to cutting and trimming clips, adding background music, text, graphics, and transitions, to exporting a finished video in MP4 video format. This is a fairly long canva video editing tutorial, where I try to be very thorough and not skim over details.
I am NOT sponsored by Canva and I'm NOT an affiliate. I made this video because I thought it might help you explore the video editing capabilities of Canva and see if it might be the right video editing tool for you. There are a lot of video editing tools out there... the best video editing app is the one that does the job for you with the least amount of frustration and hopefully a little extra creative excitement.
