[@everydaynaseeha4575]

Absoluty brilliant tutorial, Wayne! 🎉 I've been using Canva since they started, for my various entrepreneurial andventures, and have grown steadily as a "self-taught" designer. A total Canva Geek!
Your content has inspired me like no other creators has. I am on fire! Thank you soooo much!

[@createdbywayne]

Thank you so much for such a lovely message! 🤩 That's made my day! I'm glad it's helpful - keep creating!!

[@huntavorepodcast8881]

Started a podcast about my love of hunting and cooking wildgame. Little did I know that I would have to become a social media expert along with it. Thank you for the tutorial on carousel creation, i'm positively tickled with my outcome. Keep up the good work Wayne.

[@createdbywayne]

Right?? When they talk about having to wear 'many hats' when creating content they don't mention you have to be an experts in a dozen things too!! 😬 I hope my content helps! 😊

[@audreyfem]

This was amazing to learn. Tech and graphics in particular are an Achilles heel for me. I am in the midst of launch prep and have never felt more confident in what I can put out on the socials. Thank youuuuuuu!!!

[@createdbywayne]

I'm so glad it was helpful! And good luck with your launch!! Have fun with it! 🖤

Although I am not new to the design I find your tutorials very informative and helpful. The best UA-cam channel I have came across in my opinion. I started in Adobe, then moved to Affinity and Canva. I signed up for your course and can't wait to get started 😊 Love your content.

[@digitalebetriebswirtin]

Woow - that was incredibly helpful 🙏🙏 I ´d love to have your template but could not find it in your store 😥😥

[@createdbywayne]

@@digitalebetriebswirtin I'm so glad it was helpful! I am actually releasing a pack of carousel templates similar to this next week on my site. Be sure to sign up for my newsletter and I'll make sure I let everyone know when they are live. Thank you for your comment! 🖤

[@digitalebetriebswirtin]

To be honest: I'm already in your newsletter! That's why I'm totally happy that I was able to buy your salespage templates at the initial price and got the matching social media templates as well - they are *so beautiful* 🤩🤩 @createdbywayne

[@createdbywayne]

@@digitalebetriebswirtinthank you so much! ❤

[@philrichards9554]

Awesome. Thank you for the inspiration.

[@createdbywayne]

Glad I can give you a little inspiration Phil! 😁

[@DolphinConsult]

Very helpful and informative … I don’t use my Instagram … but now I want to try this 👍😉 I'm an IT instructor teaching my clients how to use their programs (including Canva) and I love your way of teaching. It’s very similar to my own (that's probably why I love it) 😉

[@createdbywayne]

Instagram is my fav social media channel cos it’s so visual. But like with all those channels it can become overwhelming. Just make sure you have fun with it! Glad to have you here! 😁🖤

[@poetrybyrajni]

As usual wonderful

[@createdbywayne]

😊

[@tanjasophie]

Thanks so much :)

[@createdbywayne]

You're welcome! I hope it was helpful 😊

[@garthwilson]

Great stuff Wayne, Thank so you much. How do make the place holders and use them like you have them below you art board.

[@createdbywayne]

Hey Garth ! You mean the thumbnails that are below the working part of your dashboard? That's the timeline that you can access by clicking on 'duration' in any multipage design. It basically allows you to treat it like a video timeline. Let me know if that is what you mean!

[@about2flip]

Great Post. Thank you for the Tips. Do you have a video showing how to add music to each carousel image?

[@createdbywayne]

Not specifically, but you would basically just click and drag an audio track underneath the timeline for that slide - but then you need to export each slide as a separate video so they audio exports with it.

[@StormAdats]

You're awesome

[@createdbywayne]

Well thank you 😊🖤

[@leannaslaterphotography]

Great video! Thank you. Where did you find your chair?

[@createdbywayne]

Thanks you! And I think it was just from Ikea! 😁

[@skeptononline4217]

After a little searching last night I found you and wow. Your content is amazing. It is easy to follow along and looks great. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. In this tutorial when you add the first and last images, I am assuming you created them previously. Are they stored as images or something else? Thanks!

[@createdbywayne]

Thank you - and welcome! Yup, those two are just images of individual post layouts I created in Canva, and exported as individual images. You could just create that layout on the first and last slides using elements, but I didn't want to spend too much time on those. Hope that helps! 🖤

[@gratefulgrows]

Thank you!

[@createdbywayne]

You are welcome! Hope it helps! 🖤

[@achristabynon]

Thank you so much for providing this video; it's quite informative! Instagram is fairly new to me (even though it's been around for a while). I was planning on using 1080×1080 instead of 1080x1350 simply because it seemed more appealing. However, after your explanation of screen space, the vertical posts makes more sense. I also didn't think about overlapping elements to help make it one long flowing image to keep the audience engaged.
What about other social media platforms (Pinterest, Facebook, etc)? Maybe tips on how to create content (like boards & pins) and/or which platforms to use/avoid for a business setting?
What's your take on email marketing/newsletters? I know you already have a video for Convertkit, but what about Flodesk? Perhaps a comparison? Pros & cons of each?

[@createdbywayne]

Those are all excellent ideas - thank you so much! 🖤

[@nicolacee123]

This is very informative, thanks Wayne. Can you advise what font you used for this? It looks great.

[@createdbywayne]

The serif font is a custom font I uploaded, but it's very similar to Bookmania in Canva - check it out!

[@nicolacee123]

Thanks! 😀

[@darlynperez2381]

You are so awesome! I'm a new subscriber! Can I use this measurement in Facebook?

[@createdbywayne]

Thank you for being here! 🖤 Yup, this size should work perfectly on Facebook.

[@monicaiglesias6235]

Hello!!! I love your channel is the best! I just have a question on this video, I made it but the image of my video is too small when I uploaded on Instagram and Facebook, do you know why or how can I make it bigger like a hole screen?.

[@createdbywayne]

Yopu would have to resize it for whichever platform you are using it on. You can start by using the 'Resize & Magic Switch' tool, and then just tweak it to make sure it looks good. Each platform has their own preferred dimensions, so you would need to check them to be sure, but for a full screen video (like a normal UA-cam video) the size is 1080px h x 1920px w.

[@elizabethmendez333]

Hola, buenas tardes.
Por favor podrias activar los subtítulos en español

[@createdbywayne]

Hola. Si hace clic en el ícono de CONFIGURACIÓN en el video y luego elige SUBTÍTULOS, debería tener la opción de TRADUCCIÓN AUTOMÁTICA y puede elegir su idioma.

[@advertbarbados]

REQUEST HOW CAN I MAKE AN IMAGE SPIN AROUND?

[@createdbywayne]

There is a 'rotate' animation that you can apply to any element. Is that whjat you are looking for?

[@em.naturalnie]

❤️😊

[@porky1566]

Great video but I wanted to see how it looks on Instagram.

[@createdbywayne]

Hey Gary - You are right! I didn't actually show it in situ! My bad! I do have a mockup of what it looks like if that helps: www.canva.com/design/DAGD98ozFzw/ln9tzBUe56H6OkrLEENOvw/watch?DAGD98ozFzw&
