This week, Canva announced a partnership with Coverr, which provides stock footage and music, bringing the collection to the editing app.
Canva seems intent on adding to its video designs. The news about the Coverr integration comes just after Canva launched a library of licensed music for non-commercial work. This time, however, use will be less limited.
Coverr, which launched in 2017, has a library of stock footage and music, and the integration will allow users to search and add items without having to download them separately. The Coverr library will also be available for free for all Canva users and can be used in commercial designs as well as those for personal use.
To take advantage of these items, users can open a template, then go to the “Elements” tab. Coverr footage is found in the “Videos” section and music in the “Audio” section. However, Coverr’s music library is not yet available in Canva. Users can find what they’re looking for by searching keywords or they can type “@coverr” to see what’s available. Typing “@coverr” and another keyword will also let you search withing Coverr’s library specifically.
“We are delighted to incorporate Coverr into the Canva Content library,” Jared Ben, partnerships lead at Canva, says. “Our mission is to empower the world to design by offering access to design elements that reflect a diverse array of perspectives, backgrounds, and use cases. Coverr, is a great addition to Canva’s diverse library.”
As with other elements, these stock video and audio additions can be further customized within Canva. The editing app, for example, lets people clip videos, change lighting, alter the color, and apply filters. Canva Pro users can even use the Background Remover tool on videos, allowing for futher customization. Audio can fade in or out, users can choose the precise clip to use in a video, and Canva Pro users can take advantage of Beat Sync. This feature will automatically make elements flow with the tempo of the music. The timeline also shows beat markets on the audio clip, making it easy to make adjustments with the perfect timing.
Meanwhile, Canva can’t seem to stop growing, both in terms of users and features.
