[0:00] Let's upgrade your stream by creating
[0:01] this completely free stream overlay
[0:03] using Canva. I do have several other
[0:05] tutorials for different kinds of YouTube
[0:07] intros or even stream overlays that you
[0:09] can create with Canva, but a lot of
[0:11] people have been asking how you can
[0:12] create one with a free account. For
[0:14] that, I created an entirely new account
[0:16] that does not have Canva Pro so that I
[0:18] can use all the elements that I know you
[0:20] would be able to. Once you have created
[0:21] your Canva account, if you haven't
[0:23] already, you want to create a new
[0:25] project and make sure it's a video. Of
[0:27] course, you'd want to name your project
[0:28] so that when you save it, you can find
[0:29] it easily. I just named it Twitch
[0:32] stream. I always recommend your first
[0:33] step being to find your background. You
[0:35] can always look at the elements first
[0:36] and see what kind of vibe you want to go
[0:38] for, but I always select the background
[0:40] first because then after that, I can
[0:42] then choose the elements that go well
[0:43] with the background. I am going for a
[0:45] more floral kind of look. I searched up
[0:47] floral. You can either choose a photo as
[0:49] a background or a video. It's up to you.
[0:51] I couldn't find anything that caught my
[0:52] eye, so I searched up gradient cloud and
[0:55] picked something that I thought was
[0:56] cute. Canva also has an option for if
[0:58] you pick a video or a photo or an
[1:00] element, you can change the settings so
[1:02] that the colors look different. You just
[1:04] hit the edit button at the top tab and
[1:07] adjust. From there, you can adjust the
[1:09] temperature or the saturation. Sometimes
[1:12] they give you the color edit where you
[1:13] can choose a specific color in the
[1:15] element and change that. I also made
[1:16] sure that the video settings were on
[1:18] repeat. So it would automatically start
[1:20] at the beginning again once the video is
[1:22] over for the overlay. Set the video or
[1:24] photo as your background. You just right
[1:25] click on it and at the bottom it says
[1:27] set video as background. It should size
[1:29] it automatically to fill the screen.
[1:31] After you have chosen your background
[1:33] and are satisfied with it, this is the
[1:34] fun part in my opinion. You click
[1:36] elements, go to the graphics or photos
[1:39] and you just pick whatever elements you
[1:41] think would go best as fillers, kind of
[1:43] like stickers. The good news is if you
[1:45] want yours to look exactly like mine,
[1:47] all of these elements are free. So, you
[1:49] don't need a pro account to use these. I
[1:51] honestly forgot what I searched, but you
[1:53] can always search up watercolor flowers
[1:55] or flowers and they should pop
[2:35] Now, to really bring your overlay to
[2:37] life, you want to animate all of these
[2:38] elements. You select the ones that you
[2:40] want to animate, click the animate
[2:41] button, and there's a bunch of different
[2:43] kinds of animations you can choose from.
[2:45] My go-to animation is always breathe or
[2:47] pan or baseline. Those are what I
[2:50] usually use for almost all of my intros
[2:52] and stream overlays.
[2:55] After
[3:06] your background, your elements, and
[3:08] animating your elements, click on text.
[3:10] This is where you'll add stream starting
[3:12] soon. Things easier. We are going to use
[3:14] one of their font combinations that they
[3:16] already have set for us. There are some
[3:18] for pro users as well, but we are of
[3:20] course using the free version. I thought
[3:22] the glow option went really well with
[3:24] the overlay. This font combination is
[3:27] also just a template. You can change the
[3:29] font if you want to or change the color
[3:31] of the text or even the effect if you
[3:33] want the glow to be more intense. You
[3:35] just want to play around with the
[3:36] settings until you get something that
[3:37] looks exactly like how you want it to.
[3:48] Now for the stream starting soon text, I
[3:51] am using the sparkle font combination. I
[3:53] think this goes well with the glow name.
[4:08] Finally, once again, you want to choose
[4:10] an animation for both text and see what
[4:12] looks best for you.
[4:34] You are finally done. All you have to do
[4:36] is hit share and download it and it is
[4:38] ready to go. I also have a ton of intro
