Finally: video content without the production faff.
Canva just rolled out Veo 3 integration, Google’s new text-to-video model, inside its AI suite. That means fast, realistic clips from just a few typed words.

Step 5: Hit generate. It took less than 2 minutes.
Step 6: Add a title or music, then export your clip.

✅ Why I love it:
