In this Canva video editing tutorial, I show you how to reverse a video in Canva using the hidden Video Reverser tool. Many Canva users don’t realise this feature exists because it’s not obvious in the standard editor — but it can create some really cool effects for your videos.
I start by adding a video clip of people walking down a street onto the Canva canvas. Then I select the video, go into the Edit panel, and open the Video Reverser tool.
Next, I demonstrate how to:
Reverse your video clip in Canva
Preview the reversed playback effect
Export the final reversed video
Use the effect for creative edits and transitions
I also explain the advantages and limitations of the tool, especially when using the free Canva credits that come with your account. Even with the restrictions, the overall effect works surprisingly well and proves that you actually can reverse videos in Canva without needing external editing software.
This Canva tutorial for beginners is perfect for content creators, YouTubers, social media editors, and anyone creating motion graphics or video effects in Canva.
