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 :)

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.

@panbuffman 3 ай бұрын

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.

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. 😅

@TeamRonDi 2 жыл бұрын

Hey there, I've noticed that you can now add a "Trailer" on KZfaq to upcoming Premeres and Lives. So technically I think it's possible. However, KZfaq 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 💜

@maximumyarn 2 жыл бұрын

@@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. 😢

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?
