Magic Studio™ brings together the best AI-powered tools for you and your team to help you design with more ease, speed, and creativity.

Get into the groove with video templates

If you don’t know where to start, Canva’s video templates will set you on the right path. Choose presets that match the energy of your music—soft, romantic graphics for a ballad, retro imagery for classic rock, or fluorescent backdrops for synthwave tunes. Using templates, you can make simple narrative videos for songs, as well as animated music videos with element(opens in a new tab or window)s that move to the beat(opens in a new tab or window).

Edit like a production pro

Canva’s video editor is easy to use, enabling you to craft a smooth video compilation(opens in a new tab or window) with seamless transitions and flawless animation, even if you’re new to MVs.

If you’re using original footage, use the trimming tool to cut each scene to the perfect length. Splice your videos to remove any dull moments or grainy bits. If you’re making animated videos, the music video maker has you covered. Apply animation effects to move your viewers. You can also add illustrations, stickers, vectors, and other graphic design elements to flesh out the theme of your MV.

Share your music video with the world

Collaborators are welcome. When you make your own music video, you can send the link to your teammates and let them work their magic on the project.

No dilly-dallying. Once done, you can apply a video watermark(opens in a new tab or window) and publish your finished video in an instant. Using Canva’s sharing options, post it directly to your video platform, whether it’s YouTube or Facebook. You can also download your project as a high-quality MP4 file and upload it to all your social spaces to maximize your reach.

FAQ

Download our mobile app to make music videos on your iPhone anytime, anywhere. It’s just as easy to use as our web-based video editor. Simply choose a template, upload media files, and edit as needed. It’s beginner-friendly, too, so you’ll have fun creating MVs on the go. The same goes for our Android app that users can enjoy.

Our music video maker has templates with standard YouTube dimensions, so it’s super easy to start. If you found a video template, not in YouTube dimensions, we have a premium Magic Switch tool that will fix the video dimensions in a few clicks. To further optimize your MV for YouTube, you can add an intro, outro, and thumbnail (we have templates for those, too).

The cost of a music video varies largely, depending on several factors. Some music videos even reach seven figures. However, you don’t have to shell out millions to create a high-quality MV. Our free video maker lets you create impressive MVs with ease.

As you edit your music video, click “Animate,” and you’ll see the animation tools that can make each page, text, or illustration move. You can have the elements pop into view, pan across the screen, or fade out. Apply animation effects to every aspect you want to move.

It depends on how complicated your scenes are, but on average, every minute of a music video requires up to 2 hours of editing. Our music video maker app drastically cuts that back because it’s simple and easy to use. It’s beginner-friendly, too, and you’ll have fun crafting your MV.

You can upload video clips in the MOV, GIF, MP4, MPEG, MKV, and WEBM formats, with a maximum upload size of 1GB. If the video has a transparent background, we suggest uploading it as a GIF.

  • Under 50MB in size
  • Not more than 250 million total pixels (width x height)
  • If it’s a WebP, only static files are supported

If you’re uploading SVG images, make sure your file is:
