Thank you for the tutorial. Perhaps Canva can consider to add a third party app to create actual timer that’d be really useful for the landing page/website 😃
You are very wise, Juata
I like that idea too!
and another one for gradient text
true T_T hahaha I was planning to create a countdown for the remaining DAYS!!! lol
Such a waste of time, don't worry the typo love. The actual *count down timer* is not a real timer because it's not live! I hate these types of videos because they give unrealistic expectations to the rest of the marketing team.
Thank you so much! Will definitely be using this for my class and channel as well!!🥰
Have fun!
Looking forward to trying out Canva to create this timer! Thank you.
Hope you enjoy it Christine 💛
Great video! If you wanted a sale to last one week 46000 thousand seconds roughly, would you need to create 46000 thousand slides?
I am thinking too is there any alternative method? 😂
Canva tops out at 10 minutes worth of slides (even if you have a Pro account). And, yes, you would have to create that many slides. 😵💫
@@w4k3r842 If you find an alternative, please let the rest of us know. I have no desire to create 1,200 slides for a 20 minute timer.
Actually just did the math...
7 days x 24 hours = 168 hours
168 hours x 60 minutes = 10,080 minutes
10,080 minutes x 60 seconds = 604,800 seconds... which is 604,800 slides.
And considering it took her about 5 seconds per slide once the initial one was setup... it would take you 35 unbroken days to make a 7 day countdown.
Here's the work around.
Download a countdown video off of youtube or whatever you find one. I downloaded a 10 minute timer video and I uploaded the video in my canva uploads and dragged it onto the screen.
Then I was able to break it up, edit/filter the color and add layers onto it.
So amazing. I followed all steps and make 2 ❤️❤️ thanks
You’re awesome Masooma 😊
Thank you so much for all your efforts.
I learn so much from your videos.
Happy to hear that 💜
Another fantastic tutorial! 💯
Thanks (one more time) Mandira 💜
My canvaa life saver!! 😌
😍 Hehe

I love your tutorials, and you pick so many timely topics to demonstrate for us! (Please check your closed captions on this video - there is a typo that is a bit embarrassing, and I'm sure you'll want to change the spelling - it's the auto caption's fault, you said the word clearly! Feel free to delete this comment after you fix the word)
It's a mini hype. Thank you for your time though. I thought you could go for a month of countdown but no, indeed you can't. I don't know what canva really useful for but really it does beautiful small things. I hope someone knows what I meant because I can't make 42,000 pages to form a month countdown :)
Thank you beautiful teacher.i am gonna use the second one.u r the best❤️
You're welcome dear Asma 💜
Thank you for this video! I learn new tips and tricks from every video. Amazing!
So glad to hear that!

@Design with Canva Already subscribed LONG time ago. And 🔔 notification also on 😎🤗 Thank Youuuu ☀️ 😊
Thank you for this tutorial.. I always wonder how its done ... well now i know😍
Happy to help 💜🙌
Wow very informative, I didn't even think about doing this
There you go, something new to try 😍
Am I missing something? What I am taking away from this video is that you need to manually create a gazillion pages to create a countdown from 7 days.....this seems a bit insane. Please correct me if I missed a step.
You are not wrong… unfortunately.
Canva doesn’t really have an easy feature for counting down. We simply wanted to show you a workaround.
Thank you for amazing video.💖🌺
Thank YOU for watching 😊
This is an interesting design but how would you actually use it? Since it's not a real countdown timer, it would never be accurate.
This is a good question Cindy! If you are worried on the countdown to be accurate, you could use the animation on other applications like social media posts or videos.
So ironic. I found premade 30sec timer in Canva. I downloaded it as a gif. Then I could place it in one of my tiktok videos to show how long a lady held a note while singing. So cool. CANVA IS AMAZING!
Glad you are having fun creating your content 💜
timer only works for a few seconds it doesn't covers all the the time have create a lot of slides to cover them all
Nice video!!! How do you keep the timer going without pressing play when you post to IG/FB? The only way I see the timer moving is when I download from Canva MP4 and you have to press play...I need it to continue counting when it is post. I look forward to hearing from you!!!
Hi Jenifer,
I understand that IG has an autoplay feature so the countdown will start automatically.
Thank you, Diana. Is it possible to select several text boxes and change the formating all at once?
Yes, it is.
You can also use the " *Copy Style* " button to change the style of several elements at once.
Really helpful! Thanks
Thank you for your comment Victor Kaynã! We're glad this was helpful! 🤓
Thank you! the steps were very clear. Question: do you need to create the number of pages based on the time that you want the time to expire?
Yes, exactly!
@@TeamRonDi so i have 50 days of countdown to do
this was so helpful thank you
You are welcome Jessica 💜
Great video thank you!
You’re welcome Sarah ❤️✨
great video, thank you!
Glad you liked it 💜
Thank you for the video .. very informative.. but canva have a limited to only 300 slides.. so how can be make a complete video. Please guide
Hi this is amazing, Can you please add a new video showing how to "Arched Text" in Canva. currently, the curve effect is bending fonts sideways. Arching will have straight text with a curve effect
Hi, I'm not sure this can be done with Canva at this stage.
@@TeamRonDi okay
woo a timer for a week would be how many slides? Hopefully there’s a future app for that.
I know!
Let's hope someone at Canva or in their app dev community will create one!
@@TeamRonDi always great content 🙏🙏🙏
Hi , Thanks for the nice tutorial. But Canva just allow to add maximum of 200 slides and not more than that. In that case, we can create a timer maximum of 3 minutes and not more than that. This is the case in free version...
Yes, you're correct 👍
in pro version also we have a limited of 300 slides
This is great, is there a place where all the special keys are in one place and you can reffer them?
Yes 🙌
Ronny made a video about most Canva shortcuts here: ua-cam.com/video/SukAGncAxnY/v-deo.html
I turned the subtitles on to watch your video as there was a lot of background noise around me. I was shocked when on the screen it said you were going to create a CONDOM timer..... this made me chuckle..
Haha, that’s a good one!
I’m still working on my prononciation 😊
I tried this way and it didnt work the same way. How would I do it now. I dont want to design one. Is there a video to add for 2 minutes embedded in the video???
I'm so confused. So we literally have to add each second, minute, hour & day for it to work?
Yes, at the moment this is the only workaround 🤷🏻♀️
@@TeamRonDi omgggg really? wish I had known that from the beginning
Hello dear ..
My question is what keyword we have to search for 3d circles which nowadays I see on people's thumbnails..
I mean pictures within circular 3d frame
Not sure which visual you are talking about... 🤔
@@TeamRonDi i will send u a pic of that visual through email... If u agree 💯
A++ tutorial as usual, Sweetie. I do have a question, though.
Can a Countdown timer be used in the place of a thumbnail
when you've scheduled a YT Go Live? I'm going to be switching from Twitch
to here and I'm a total Noobie. 😅
Hey there,
I've noticed that you can now add a "Trailer" on UA-cam to upcoming Premeres and Lives. So technically I think it's possible.
However, UA-cam already has a built in timer screen for Premieres (not sure about Lives). So it would be kind of redundant to make your trailer a countdown.
I'd focus on "pitching" or "teasing" what you content is all about in your trailer.
Hope this helps 💜
@@TeamRonDi It does indeed help. Thank you, Sweetie! ♥ EDIT: Unfortunately, you must have at least 1,000 subscribers
to add a trailer to a live stream. I have 1/10th of that @ a mere 100. 😢
At 4:20 you just magically show up with the animate ribbon, but I have no clue how you generated that ribbon. Can't do anything past that, since I can't bring up that screen you're using ...
So if I have a 7 day countdown timer, I have to keep duplicating the page in order to have it go all the way to 0? That’s a lot of pages
Yes, indeed that's a lot of pages 😖
Is there anyway to add a “second countdown” that actually countdown for workout videos?
Sure! Just make sure to adjust each page timing to 1 sec
I want to create countdown for 24hrs so how many slides i have to make in1st method ??
You haven't told how minutes and hours will change ..
Pls reply asap
So I would have to create a new page for each second until the time is up?
Yes, that’s how 😑
@TeamRonDi not bad for short periods of time but I'm looking for something that will work for a month or more.
Bonita voz. Podrías hacer ASMR?
Can we do a countdown calendar, like, only 3 days left etc?
For sure :) You can be as creative as you want Eric! Just have into consideration that you can create up to 100 pages in the same document
So, you have to make a slide for each second counting down? That's 86,400 slides per day. With everything Canva can do, isn't there just a timer I can put a date in and it do the rest? Seems like just using a generator online and importing it would save hours. Does Canva not allow you to?
There’s no native feature that creates a countdown so far. Unfortunately 🥹
@@TeamRonDi I made one in a gen and am trying to use the embed tool in Apps in canva but whenever I download it the countdown is static. Tried it as video and img. Still troubleshooting.
how do i get the canva app on my laptop
Hi Abdul, try this link: www.canva.com/download/
Not quite as advertised. All I needed was a countdown timer that I can set and will countdown not animations and duplicating pages.
Sorry this wasn't exactly what you were expecting Charles.
Hii
Hello!
That's hilarious. One page per second. So for your "free version" example of 7 days, 2 hours, 1 minute, and 3 seconds, that would require creating over 604,000 pages!
You’re good at math 🤓
Wait... so you're gonna do that for 7 days with every single second?!
Crazy One Bro.
This is going to take forever to create like a 100 page timer.
I know 😅
@@TeamRonDi Bulk Create feature in Canva will do this super fast 🏎
Lol
Lol What? it only makes a 7 second countdown...
I might have found another way to create a countdown with Canva and Flourish. We’ll update this soon.
me too
okay well have fun spending 5 days to make a countdown for a week.... theres gotta be a better way to do this.
😂 Your comment made me laugh... but you are right. There's actually a better way I found out recently... using the Flourish app. I'll create a new tutorial on this in the near future.
This is not really useful for counting down for multiple days, much less minutes. smh 😠
I know 🥹
