Canva integrates Google's Veo 3 for AI video clip generation with sound
Canva has rolled out a powerful new feature—Create a Video Clip—allowing users to generate 8-second video clips with sound using Google's Veo 3, the latest and most advanced AI video generation model. Announced on Thursday, the feature is available via the Canva homepage and is currently accessible to Canva Pro, Teams, Enterprise, and Nonprofit users. For now, usage is limited to five AI-generated videos per month. Danny Wu, Head of AI Products at Canva, shared, 'We're among the first to integrate Google's Veo 3 video model just weeks after its release. Now, millions of Canva users can create dynamic, high-quality video teasers with realistic visuals, synchronized audio, and polished motion.' How to Use Canva's 'Create a Video Clip' Feature: Visit the Canva homepage and go to Canva AI Click Create a Video Clip Enter a prompt describing your desired video The AI generates the video in Canva's Video Editor, where you can further customize it using tools like Brand Kit, music overlays, and text. Once edited, the video can be adapted into other formats like social posts, presentations, or marketing assets. To ensure safe and ethical use, all content is moderated by Canva Shield, a protective layer that filters harmful inputs and outputs. This launch follows Canva's recent AI-focused moves, including the acquisition of Leonardo AI, and the soon-to-be-acquired MagicBrief, an AI-powered creative intelligence platform. Earlier this year, Canva also introduced its Visual Suite 2.0, featuring new AI tools like a voice-enabled assistant, AI-powered spreadsheet builder, and coding assistant. According to the company, Magic Studio and Canva AI tools have now been used over 18 billion times.

Canva's All-In-One AI Suite Could Rival Tech Giants — But There's Fine Print

(Photo by Lorenzo Di Cola/NurPhoto via Getty Images) Canva, the Australian design juggernaut with over 230 million global users, just made an interesting foray: entering the AI work tool space. At its annual Canva Create event, the company unveiled Visual Suite 2.0, a sweeping update that adds AI-powered spreadsheets, app-building tools, and an enterprise-focused workspace, all packed into a single interface. The move could position Canva beyond a design platform (that allows just about anyone to don the hat of a graphic designer) and more as an all-in-one productivity suite that merges the visual simplicity of design tools with the analytical power of business software. With this move, Canva may not just be competing with Adobe anymore — it could also be gunning for Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Notion, GitHub Copilot, and so on. The update includes Canva AI, a voice- or text-powered assistant that acts as a creative co-pilot across documents, presentations, photo edits, and so on. If users want to do anything from designing a social media campaign to analyzing spreadsheet data and building an interactive widget, that's now possible on Canva within the same space. Meanwhile, the new Canva Code feature lets users generate interactive tools like calculators or quizzes using natural language prompts — no coding knowledge necessary. It's an unusually bold play for a design-first company, and one that puts it in direct competition with AI-coding startups like Replit and Anthropic-backed tools. Also, Canva's new Sheets feature reimagines spreadsheets in a fascinating way: Users can import data from Google Analytics, HubSpot, or Statista, and use 'Magic Insights' to instantly spot trends or highlights. For enterprise users, Canva has expanded its ambit to include access management, Secure Single Sign-On integrations, and bulk content creation tools like Magic Studio at Scale which auto-generates campaigns using data templates. The platform's updated Photo Editor, which now allows point-and-click background removal and AI-generated environment tweaks, places it within radar of Adobe Photoshop and Apple-owned Pixelmator. What stands out is how Visual Suite 2.0 combines many functions — design, copywriting, data, code, collaboration — into one single ecosystem, so that users can toggle between documents, websites, whiteboards, animations, and spreadsheets. 'Entire campaigns — from briefing to delivery — can now happen in one seamless space,' Canva said in its release. If Canva's AI-fueled vision pans out, it could become an important workspace in a post-PowerPoint, post-Photoshop era — or be relegated to the recesses of forgotten tech trends. What Canva is attempting isn't new — plenty of platforms have tried to unify creative and analytical work under one roof. What's different is how quietly it's doing it — a slow march from design tool used to make flyers to productivity platform. Whether teams and users actually want that kind of all-in-one workspace — or still prefer their tried-and-true methods — is left to be seen. As AI gets more deeply baked into productivity tools, the new updates also raise familiar questions around content ownership and copyright. Canva's terms make it clear that users are responsible for their inputs and outputs, and as with most AI tools, outputs are created using third-party models, which means data shared in prompts may be routed through external providers. Canva doesn't claim copyright over AI-generated content — users have ownership — but the company requires disclosure that it was created using AI. In professional settings, that line between human and machine authorship could start to matter more, and as generative tools become more deeply embedded into creative and corporate workflows, it may be warranted to witness closer scrutiny — not just of what these tools can do, but also of how transparently they're trained and deployed.
