While the provided reference doesn't explicitly describe adding a layer, it explains how to access and manipulate existing layers, which is crucial for effectively using layers in Canva videos. Here's how you work with layers in Canva video editor:
-
Access the Layers Panel: In the Canva editor, there's usually a "Layers" option. Clicking this will open up the layers panel.
-
Understanding Layers: The layers panel displays all the elements in your video composition, stacked in the order they appear. The element at the top of the list is visually on top of the other elements in your design.
-
Re-arranging Layers: Once the layers box is open, you can change the order of your layers by dragging and dropping them within the panel. This will change which elements appear in front of or behind other elements.
Important Considerations:
- The reference doesn't directly discuss adding a new blank layer. To "add a layer," you generally add a new element (text, image, shape, video clip) to your Canva video project. Each new element automatically becomes a new layer.
- The layers functionality is important for arranging the visual hierarchy of your video. Use the layers panel to bring important elements forward or send less critical elements to the background.
