Design a Custom dslrBooth Start & Welcome Screen in Canva
Learn how to design a custom start screen and welcome screen in Canva and upload them into dslrBooth. This step-by-step tutorial covers building both screens from a themed template, adding animation, exporting the right file types, and setting everything up in dslrBooth.
What's covered:
• Creating a custom-size Canva design that matches your event screen resolution
• A time-saving shortcut: searching Canva templates by theme (quinceañera example) so colors and fonts are already coordinated
• Designing the start screen: editing text, adding a photo, and removing its background (free option with remove.bg)
• Adding an animated "tap to start" button (background effect + pulse animation)
• Adding an animated video background
• Designing the matching welcome screen
• Exporting correctly: MP4 for the animated start screen, JPEG/PNG for the static welcome screen
• Adding both screens in dslrBooth (start screen video + welcome screen image)
• Editing capture icons, positioning, and turning off icon labels
• Launching your event
