Google's Veo 3 model now powers AI video generation on Canva, the company announced in a press release today. The new feature allows users to generate 8-second video clips with synchronized audio using voice or text prompts in a single workflow. The tool is available to Canva's paid and nonprofit users as well as subscribers (starting at $10/month). For those unaware, is owned by Canva. The integration brings cinematic-style video creation to millions without the need for specialized software or skills. To recall, Google released the Veo 3 tool last month at I/O 2025. The AI-powered video generation tool allows users to generate videos from text and image prompts. This includes speech such as dialogues and voice-overs; and audio, such as music and sound effects. Canva also revealed its plan to acquire MagicBrief, an AI-driven creative platform used by marketing and design teams worldwide. Both announcements highlight Canva's growing investment in AI-powered content creation and creative tools. Cameron Adams, co-founder and Chief Product Officer of Canva said: 'Enabling anyone to bring their ideas to life – especially their most creative ones – has been core to Canva's mission ever since we set out to empower the world to design.

11 New Members Join The Gates-Buffett Giving Pledge
By Thomas Gallagher Cameron Adams, the Australian billionaire cofounder of Canva, and his wife Lisa Miller, have just joined the Giving Pledge. In its largest cohort since 2021, the Giving Pledge announced 11 new signatories in 2025 who have pledged to donate the majority of their wealth to charitable causes in their lifetime or in their wills. Nine of the new signees hail from the U.S., one from Australia and one from the U.A.E. Six of the new pledgers are members of Forbes billionaires' list and have a combined estimated net worth of $9.3 billion. The wealthiest among them, Cameron Adams, worth an estimated $2.9 billion, is cofounder and chief product officer of graphic design software company Canva. He joins Canva's married cofounders, Melanie Perkins and Cliff Obrecht, who signed the pledge in 2021; Adams joined the pledge with his wife Lisa Miller. The couple's Wedgetail Foundation is devoted to conserving and restoring biodiversity. The second wealthiest in the cohort, Drew Houston, worth an estimated $2.1 billion, is cofounder and CEO of file hosting service Dropbox; Houston joins with his wife, Erin. Additional signatories include Syntel founder Bharat Desai ($1.6B) and his cofounder and wife Neerja Sethi ($1B), who support economic mobility, education and entrepreneurship; Square (now called Block) cofounder Jim McKelvey ($1.6B) and his wife Anna; and founder and CEO of Cambridge, Massachusetts life sciences venture capital firm Flagship Pioneering Noubar Afeyan ($1.2B) and his wife Anna Afeyan Gunnarson. Other newcomers include Emirati businesswoman Muna Easa Al Gurg; Joseph Deitch, the founder and chairman of investment adviser Commonwealth Financial Network; venture capitalist Jay Hoag and his wife Michaela, who founded Part the Cloud, which raises funds for Alzheimer's disease research. The Giving Pledge was created in 2010 by billionaire philanthropists Bill and Melinda Gates and Warren Buffett in an effort to address the world's most urgent issues. Fifteen years ago the Giving Pledge launched with 40 American philanthropists. Since then, over 210 signatories have signed on, including some of the world's wealthiest people, such as Elon Musk, worth an estimated $430 billion and Mark Zuckerberg, worth an estimated $221 billion. And the pledge has attracted wealthy philanthropists from around the globe, from India to Indonesia and beyond. The pledge is a promise, not a contract, and those who run the Giving Pledge do not audit billionaires' giving. Some signers, like Charles Feeney (d. 2023), cofounder of Duty Free Shoppers, gave away far more than half of his fortune to charitable causes. For many other pledgers, including some who have passed away, it's not clear whether or not they have held up their charitable promise.

Canva billionaire vows to donate half of his wealth for 'urgent' cause
Canva co-founder and multi-billionaire Cameron Adams will donate half of his $4.79billion fortune to address urgent environmental issues. Mr Adams and his former zoologist wife, Lisa Miller, announced the move in a letter to global environmental organisation The Giving Pledge. Canva is worth an estimated US $32billion after a share price surge last year. Warren Buffett, Bill Gates and Melinda French Gates established the group in 2010 for the world's überwealthy to fund global philanthropic ventures. In a letter penned to the group, Mr Adams said he and Ms Miller believed 'with great fortune comes great responsibility'. 'We recognise that the opportunities we have had in life place us in a position to give generously and act with purpose,' he wrote. 'Philanthropy is more than charity; it is a means of addressing systemic issues, driving meaningful change, and ensuring that future generations inherit a world rich in possibility and biodiversity. 'By joining the Giving Pledge, we aim to emphasise this responsibility and commit our resources to the planet that we all rely on. 'And this commitment is critical during the next decade.' Ms Miller has been operating the couple's Wedgetail Foundation, protecting and restoring biodiversity. The couple said they have since grown their confidence 'that these are issues worth fighting for'. The software billionaire said governments and businesses will be important in preventing ecological declines, but philanthropy 'has a unique ability to drive bold action'. 'Through the Giving Pledge we are directing the majority of our wealth toward this, because the alternative – inaction on a dying planet – is unacceptable.'
