I don't normally comment on videos, but I just had to thank you for making what has been a frustrating trial and error process so simple! I can finally make countdown videos at any length with ease. Thanks a bunch!!

Thank you for watching and your kind words! So glad I could help.

Thank you so much. I was looking for 2 minutes session countdown, and for 2 days I gave up searching on KZread when I couldn't find the answer. On the day of my presentation this afternoon, I stumbled in to your video. My Microsoft doc didn't generate the countdown times, but odd numbers. I don't know why. I did it manually and got the same 2 minutes. Bravo! Thank you.

Bradley, I’m the wrong side of 50 for learning, things are a lot harder to learn these days but I’ve found your explanations very easy to understand. Thank you 🙏

Hello, thank you for this fantastic video! Question: I want to put a moving colored background behind my countdown numbers. I can add a moving background to each Canva slide, but then it starts the animation over each 1 second. How do I put a moving colored background behind my numbers that will just play behind the countdown without starting over every 1 second?

@BradleyTeaches

Ай бұрын

Thank you for watching! To have a single animated background you’d need to animate all the text on one “page”… very difficult/tedious, or have a 1 second seamless looping video. Unfortunately Canva doesn’t have an option (yet) to play a single video across multiple pages.

Maaaate this is great!

Thankyou. I was wondering how you do this for seconds, the ones with the alarm clock graphics on Canva? I am trying to make a quiz on Canva . Thanks

Great video. You go through this in such an easy way to understand. Thank you for the video. However, it says a maximum of 300 pages is allowed. For my 5 minute timer, I either can't have the 5:00 or the 0:00. If I want to do a larger timer, I wouldn't be able to do that. Do you know what can be done for this?

Thank you for watching and your question. One thing, make multiple videos 5:00-3:00 then 2:59-0:00 (as an example), then either play the videos back to back or combine them. Starting at 4:59 is also an option (and probably how I’d do it).

Awesome 🎉🎉

+Sam Aho this can be used as a counter to introduce your live video, workshop, etc. After you finish the design, you export it as a video and insert it into your production flow- I use eCamm for my live streaming (and pretty much all my recorded videos too), so in my case I’d add the video clip to the beginning of the production, play it then switch to my scene when I go live.

Hello, I have a slide created and have uploaded a file to Canva for the timer countdown. Specifically on the text box, I don't see an option to Connect Data. What am I doing wrong here to not see that menu option?

Did you ‘right-click’ on the text box? That’s where the option is. Also, make sure you have your bulk table set up- if you are not getting the option, it may think you don’t have any data to connect.

I had the same problem. When you add the text, do not do the shortcut T or copy from something else. Click text in the right menu and click "ADD A HEADING"

I tried this for a 5 Minute countdown but the .csv doesn't upload. The only possible reason for this that I see is that the file is too long. Any work around?

Is there a way to do 10 minutes? There's too many rows allowed for Canva. I typically use that length for all of my teams to enter

@BradleyTeaches

Not for every second. Canva has a limit on “pages”. I think you can only do about 3 minutes. An option is to do it in segments 10-7, 6:59-4, etc then splice the movies together.

Not on combining the videos. If you’re on a Mac, iMovie is a built in app and could easily do this. There are also a few web based apps that could do it. Open a new project and drag/add each video in order, then export/save the combined video.

Yep, that’s all you need is a spread sheet and a design to connect it to.

When I click generate pages they do not generate. Any solutions?

I tried the speadsheet thing but instead of going down the numbers autofill and start going up in one minute intervals. I want to do a 25 min timer

@BradleyTeaches

Жыл бұрын

The auto fill is dependent on the first two numbers you put in, so make sure the first two numbers are one second apart and all should be fine.

I may have misread your post- you want a 25 minute timer that counts “up” instead of down? That’s a LOT of seconds…
