Current Limitations of Text Removal in Canva
Unlike other video editors, Canva doesn’t currently have a built-in feature to remove text from videos. While many users want to clean up their videos or remove unwanted text from video clips, we need to use alternative methods to keep videos looking polished and professional.
Method 1: The Frame Adjustment Technique 🎬
Here’s how to use the frame adjustment method:
- Open Canva Video Editor – it’s free to use online
- Upload your video that needs text removal
- Click “Edit a video” to enter the editing interface
Why this works:
This quick and easy method helps hide text without complex editing.
Method 2: The Shape Overlay Technique 🎨
This approach offers more control:
Use the text overlay technique by placing a new layer over the existing text to cover it up. It’s simple and effective without altering the original video content.
Try masking – use shapes to cover the text area, blending smoothly with the rest of the video. This technique helps in hiding text without leaving noticeable marks.
Future of Text Removal in Canva
AI-powered text removal is becoming more common. Some apps can now make removing video texts seem like magic, with advanced AI capabilities that can erase text without ruining the background.
