In this quick video, I’m going to show you how to create scrolling text in Canva. I’m logged into my Canva account right now, and we’re going to start by selecting a template. For this demo, I’ll just go with a blank presentation. Once I have my blank presentation open, I need to add some text. I’ll click on the text option on the left side and add a heading. Let’s go with “This is cool” because, well, it is! After typing that, I’ll highlight the text and give it a color just to make it stand out. You don’t have to do this step, but it’s a nice touch for the demo. Now that I have my title set up, it’s time to animate it. I’ll click on the animate button with my text highlighted. Canva offers a bunch of suggested animations, and you can preview each one to see how they look. If you want a scrolling effect—whether it’s up, down, left, or right—you can create that too! To create the scrolling effect, I’ll click on “create an animation.” Canva tells us to hold the Shift key while dragging to create straight lines. So, I’m holding Shift and moving my text. You’ll see that a line is created, showing the movement I’ve set. Next, we can adjust the speed of the scrolling effect. You can make it faster or slower, depending on what you prefer. I’ll set it to a speed that feels just right. Additionally, there are some add-on effects available. You can rotate the text, make it flicker, or even have it pulse. Some of these effects might remind you of older PowerPoint presentations, so I’ll skip those for now. Now, you can drag your text up or left to right, which is what you’ll want for scrolling text. There are quite a few built-in effects to experiment with, so feel free to play around with them. And that’s it! This was a brief overview of how to create scrolling text in Canva. I hope you found it useful! If you did, please give this video a like—it really helps out. Don’t forget to subscribe for more videos just like this!
