"In today's tutorial, I’ll show you how to create a scrolling text animation in Canva."
"We’ll also be working with some fun design elements, so let’s dive in!"
[Step 1: Setting Up the Canvas]
"First, open Canva and create a new design."
"For this tutorial, let's go with a YouTube Shorts video canvas."
[Step 2: Adding Design Elements]
"Take a circle and add a border around it."
"Now, add your logo and name inside the circle."
"Adjust the size of your logo and name to fit perfectly within the circle."
"Next, add a rectangular layer and place it behind the logo and circle."
"You can now add your desired colors to all the elements."
"Use gradient colors to make your design pop!"
[Step 3: Adding and Customizing Text]
"Click on the 'Text' tool in the left sidebar."
"Add a heading or any text you want to animate."
"Adjust the font style, size, and color to suit your project."
"Duplicate the text layer."
"Now, add the 'Outline' text effect to the first layer and the 'Hollow' text effect to the second text layer."
"Create multiple copies of both layers as shown in the video."
"Group the layers together and align them in the center, adjusting to the top margin of the canvas."
"Finally, position the grouped text layers behind the logo and circle for a clean look."
[Step 4: Adding the Scrolling Animation]
"Select the grouped text layer and go to the 'Animate' option."
"Click on 'Custom Animations.'"
"Hold 'Shift' and drag the grouped text layer from bottom to top for a smooth upward scroll."
"(Tip: Holding 'Shift' keeps the text aligned in a straight line.)"
"Now, reduce the speed of the animation by adjusting the timeline duration."
"Set the movement style to 'Steady' and check the 'Orient Element to Path' option."
"Your text is now scrolling perfectly."
[Step 5: Further Animating Elements]
"Animate other elements as needed to match the overall flow of your design."
[Step 6: Preview and Export]
"Once everything is animated to your liking, preview the animation."
"Download your design in MP4 format with high quality to maintain the best resolution."
