How do I add a video to Canva without background?

To achieve a video without a background in Canva, you first add the video to your design and then use Canva's built-in Background Remover effect.

Once your video is in your Canva project, you can easily remove its background using a simple process. This feature is particularly useful for creating dynamic overlays, green screen effects, or integrating video footage seamlessly into your designs without distracting backgrounds.

Steps to Remove Video Background in Canva

Canva makes removing backgrounds from videos straightforward. Follow these steps after adding your video to your canvas:

1. Add Your Video: Upload your video to Canva or select one from the Canva library and place it onto your design page.
2. Select the Video: Click on the video clip you want to edit. This will bring up the editing options.
3. Access Effects: Look at the toolbar that appears just below the editor area when the video is selected. Tap on Effects.
4. Apply Background Remover: In the effects menu that opens, find and tap on Background Remover.
5. Process: Canva will automatically process the video to remove the background. This may take a moment depending on the length and complexity of the video.

Reference Information:

• On the toolbar below the editor, tap Effects.
• Tap Background Remover.
• Wait for the background to be processed.

After processing, your video will appear with a transparent background, allowing you to place it over other elements or backgrounds in your design.

Tips for Best Results

• Video Quality: Results are often best with videos where the subject is clearly separated from the background, similar to green screen footage.
• Subject Complexity: Videos with a single, well-defined subject tend to work better than those with multiple subjects or complex movements.
• Canva Pro: The Background Remover tool is a premium feature, typically available with a Canva Pro subscription.

By utilizing the Background Remover effect, you effectively turn a standard video clip into one ready to be layered or integrated into sophisticated visual projects within Canva.
