How to create VIRAL Motion Graphic Animations IN CANVA! 💯

this video right here has had over 500,000 likes over the last few months we've seen the rise in these motivational motion graphic videos wouldn't it be nice if we could make some ourselves yes well in today's video I'm going to show you how you can create your own ones using canva allowing you to take your motivational pages and motivational videos to a whole new level I'm going to go through the whole process of how to come up with ideas how to actually create this content and bonus tips at the end to make sure that our content is optimized to the fullest let's jump into it we need to find a place where we're actually going to come up with ideas and that is Pinterest so let's say I want to make an animation about fire with the fire element I literally type in fire quotes and I will find a bunch of you know quotes that are related to Fire and can have the fire element and if you want to take it further you can filter this to videos Motion Graphics so you can actually see other Motion Graphics on here and to be honest some of these elements we can even take to canva so Pinterest is going to be great and just in terms of inspiration ideas quotes literally anything you need and as I edit this video you will understand why it's so useful but again we can use Instagram accounts and Google as well which I will be using in this video but I wanted to just make sure that you understood the power of Pinterest guys this is what we're going to be trying to make right now on canva you want to open one that is 1080 x350 Instagram post on canva the first thing you want to do is make your background black now I'm going to go to elements Graphics type in Earth then press that button in the top right and press animated and this will show me animated Earths so pick an earth that you like I'm going to go for this one right here and I'm going to put it in a similar position to my original or the post that I'm inspired from now a good thing about canva is the purple lines it will always show you where the middle is if things are straight Etc now I'm going to type in my sentence you want to pick a font that obviously suits this Niche for this one I went with a veneer now I'm going to make the keyword in my sentence bold and in this one I think it's mistake so I'm going to make mistake bold then I'm going to press all caps and it already looks pretty good but we are about to take it one step further so you want to kind of make sure that spacing between each sentence is not too much now what I wanted to do is get a glow now remove the animated button and go to static and you'll be able to see a bunch of different glowes I'm going to go with this one and add it behind the Earth and you can see that it adds something extra to this clip and that was so simple and you can type in anything on canva and it will bring it up and adding these layers on top of layers can really change how your post looks now I've essentially got a random logo just to show you how to actually create these Graphics I will copy the text right in my imaginary theme page you know with this Watermark you don't want it to be too big so having it small is always a lot more professional and I would suggest always kind of using a different font as well what I'm going to do is duplicate this clip and remember these two clips will be the same video and all I need to do is change one word the world after your mistake I will make each clip around 3 seconds long and then you can play the clips together so you see it changes from the world before the world after your mistake now if you press the Earth you can press animate and there are some animations that you can add to the Earth and you know canvas got some really cool stuff so if you wanted you can make it even more animated so they've got some added Motion Graphics there or added motion effects pulse wiggle Etc and you can even choose when to add them whether it's the beginning of the clip the middle or end you can play with intensity Etc now the next thing to do was to make the text stand out a bit more so the one I got inspired from they actually made their some of their writing gold so I thought let me make some of mine yellow and that's exactly what I did for a mistake the final thing I did was added some kind of background or Star effect put it at the back adding these small little elements can obviously make the video a lot more engaging but it's literally this simple guys again you just go to elements and if you have something in your mind that you imagine whether it's light whether it's Stars whether it's planets if I wanted to put planets in this background you could just go on canva and type that in and add it to the background and as you can see that's essentially the animation and the clip again just go to export the normal setting is good make sure that all the pages are selected and press download and there you have it okay guys so now we're about to repurpose the animation which got around five 500,000 likes on Instagram now the first thing you want to do is make sure that you open an Instagram post in the top right now remember I'm going to be doing these in 1080 x350 but of course you can do them as real so you know you just do that on canver 1080 by 1920 and that will give you the right real format then we're going to head over to text and literally start kind of copying the one that we've seen on Instagram you want to make sure obviously that we're changing things creating our own version now I'm going to pick a font which looks clean then I'm going to be copy and pasting the text around the screen and just essentially laying it out how I want it to be now the next thing you want to do is actually get our fire so I'm going to go type in fire in elements then I'm going to go to Graphics then that button in the top right you want to press animated instead of static and here you will only see animated graphics now this is obviously where we're going to get our fire which you can see is animated now what I'm going to do here is is copy and paste and keep it in line now a good thing about canva is that as you try to kind of drag things around it will give you lines to keep things in a straight line so you can see the purple line appears and you want to kind of keep things within that line so that it all stays together and looks aesthetic you don't want things kind of scattered around when that's done you can highlight everything make things smaller make things bigger together and that's really important to do cuz you need to make sure everything matches each other so essentially what I'm doing now is just literally copy and pasting the fire and making each one smaller and I'm literally copying what the other one has done just to show you the possibilities just play around with it to make sure that it looks clean now at this point everything looks good we've got the animations of the fire Etc but I think I wanted things to stand out a little bit more so at this point it was worth adding a gradient or something to the background just to make it look slightly more professional so what I did was again go to elements and graphics and typed in gradient then just Twisted it around simply with the cursor real good option on canva is that you can kind of go zoom in and out to get the right alignment it's already taken the post to another level now one of the final things I wanted to do was make sure that I changed the title font just to make it stand out from the rest of the fonts cuz when something appears on the explore page you want it to be bold you want it to be popping with the verses I didn't need that bit to be popping I wanted it to be slightly smaller so what I essentially did was just copied and pasted put the verse in made it smaller and not caps and there it is now with effects you can press your text and go to effects and you can add a glow if you want so I can go to motivation and make it Glow and to be honest it actually did make a big difference now in the bottom left you will see there's duration so if I had a trending audio that I already thought of using for this video and it was 8 seconds I could go here and make the video that length of time and essentially when you go to share download make sure it's MP4 you can pick better quality if you want and essentially this is how easy it is to create one of these posts on canva and I know that some of you are spending a while making simple posts sometimes taking your posts to another level and making them like this can really change the game guys wait up this is not finished yet you can see now us just creating one completely from scratch completely unique but let's jump into it so I've opened up a new canva I'm going to go over press black I'm going to press duration so it brings up that timeline so what I'm going to do is I'm going to type in meditation now this is a hack for you guys cuz meditation has some great animations so I've typed in meditation I'm going to go to graphic same again and I'm going to go over to animated now once you're in animated you will see a bunch of different animated stuff but what we're going for today is the circle and as you can see they've got a few different circles with kind of a ball in the middle now specifically for this one I think I'm going to go with this one it's a square with a circle the circle is you know kind of stuck in that square so essentially this is a representation of someone being you know stuck I need this ball to break free so what I'm going to do is I'm just going to keep looking down there's so many good ones right now I want to be specific and type in ball bouncing and see what happens amazing so what I will do is I will press duplicate here and I will remove this old one and I will press this so I have literally the complete opposite a ball which is stuck in a square and then I've got a ball whatever it wants to be so how am I going to relay that into a quote so you know I'm going to literally just go to Google so this is just a matter of looking so you've got a few different options with this honestly like you guys you know you'll spend longer on this hopefully than I am you know but essentially let's say I've got this guy in a box I'm going to just press add heading and I'm going to paste the quote now I'm going to just make the quote smaller what I could do is do something like this where I don't finish the whole quote so something like this honestly guys it's it's literally that simple like you can see I think what you want to do for the first one is usually make it around 3 to 4 seconds and then with the second one 3 seconds and then the good thing about can you can actually add transitions so if you press this button here I can kind of pick what would work and you've seen you know kind of how quick I've made that like that was literally I don't know like a few minutes so if you are willing to spend 15 minutes 30 minutes you know doing some research understanding canva Etc you'll see that you're suddenly taking your content to another level and people will appreciate this you know cuz it connects with them as I say in many of my videos and even on Instagram when you're able to trigger someone's emotions it's going to be much more likely that they're going to engage with you whether that's comment like save and share so guys you know motivational content is about triggering emotions these simple animations tell a story okay bonus round now it's about optimizing and bonus tips to help you maximize your viral potential this type of content is very sharable now one thing I've noticed with this typ of content is that often the captions are short and sweet for the top line of your caption summarize the video in a sentence or ask a question but I think the summary probably works better then the CTA should be share with a friend share with someone who needs to read this put a CTA that forces people to share share is one of the best elements to go viral and this content can go viral finish it off with 3 to seven hashtags which match this video one thing I didn't mention whilst I was editing was the audio depending on the style of motion graphic that you see on Instagram some use sound effects to kind of enhance the video and some use trending Audi now if you want to use sound effects canva do have this incorporated into canva and it's a simple as dragging it to your timeline and matching it to the effect in the video I will also be offering a bunch of sound effects in my Discord free resources so you know what to do but if you want to use a trending audio you can use trending audios from Instagram which is great obviously to go viral or you can go on Tik Tok simply going on Tik Tok and typing in motivational inspirational audio and you'll see a ton now a good thing about doing that is that if you press original audio or an audio on Instagram you'll see the of if it's gone viral you'll have a ton of other accounts that have used that audio so if you're grabbing a Tik Tok audio bringing it onto Instagram then that post goes viral and other people start using the audio then you're going to go even more viral audio is really important I had to make sure that I had a section as the visuals are great but if you have audio to enhance it then that's how you're going to take it to another level if you like this type of video make sure you drop a like And subscribe if you want more content creation tips be sure to check out my YouTube playlist my
