How to make a video presentation

Deliver ideas at your own pace

With video presentations, you don't have to wait for the perfect time to discuss your pitch or report.

Accommodate different time zones and busy schedules for your meetings or webinars by preparing a video presentation that's available for your audience to watch at their most convenient time.

Record your screen⁠(opens in a new tab or window) right inside Canva, then use it in your video presentation template. Add a talking head video⁠(opens in a new tab or window) to make your presentation even more engaging. With these features, you can take your time to deliver your ideas flawlessly, all without worrying about your nerves getting the best of you or an unreliable internet connection in the way. No distractions, just seamless communication!

Align it all with your brand

Find video presentation templates in our free collection that you can customize or build your theme from scratch. We also have presentation ideas perfectly tailored to different purposes and settings. You can even personalize it with colors and fonts from your company or personal branding guidelines.

With our drag-and-drop tools, designing is convenient and accessible. Add animated stickers⁠(opens in a new tab or window)⁠, illustrations, and free GIFs⁠(opens in a new tab or window)⁠, as well as transitions⁠⁠(opens in a new tab or window) to make your slides, texts⁠⁠(opens in a new tab or window), and charts dynamic. Upload images and videos⁠(opens in a new tab or window) to incorporate with your messages from our extensive library or your gallery. If you're working with a team, collaborate with them simultaneously through the web and our free apps for desktop, iOS, and Android.

Lights, camera, record, and present

It's easy to direct and shoot your video presentation. There's no need for a fancy audio and camera setup or complicated presentation recording software. Your webcam and microphone are enough for you to start recording your talking head, screen, or audio narration.

When you’re done designing your presentation, click “Record yourself” in the Uploads tab and select “Screen recorder for desktop.” Choose your screen and recording preferences, then start recording your screen as you go through your slides. Refine your recording by cutting out pauses or adjusting the playback speed, and access AI-powered tools to generate video captions and enhance audio, so your presentation is much easier to follow and digest.

FAQ

When you talk in your presentation, it is important, aside from having a clear and simple structure to your report, to know your audience. That way, you can connect with them, cater to their interests, and speak their language better. Use your voice and body to evoke natural and confident tones and gestures.

A well-rounded presenter knows their material from the inside-out. Review your slides and ideas so you can be more confident about what you are presenting. Take the time to practice so you can build your rapport and spot areas to improve in your speech and delivery. When you are self-aware as a presenter, it is easier to be passionate about your discussion and create a memorable experience for your audience.

To give a good presentation, make sure you don’t overload your slides. It’s good to have a perfect balance between images, videos, and texts to support what you’ll be discussing. When recording your talking head, shoot your video and audio clearly by communicating your points well and having a microphone that picks up your sound fully.

To record a presentation with your face, click Uploads on the side-panel of the editor and choose Record yourself. Then, select Record a talking head. From there, you can set up your microphone and camera and start recording a talking head video to go along with your presentation.
