A reel is a short, edited video that showcases your work as a filmmaker or video editor. It’s a key tool in your marketing arsenal, helping you to get hired for new projects and jobs. In this article, we’ll show you how to make a reel in Canva.

First, you’ll need to gather your footage. Choose your best work, and edit it down into short clips that showcase your skills. Once you have your footage ready, it’s time to start creating your reel in Canva.

Open up Canva and sign in or create an account. Then, click on the “Create a design” button and select the “Video” option from the list of templates. Choose a template that you like and click on it to open it up in the editor.

PRO TIP: If you are not familiar with Canva, we recommend that you do not attempt to make a reel in Canva. Reels are a complex video format and require specific software to create. Attempting to make a reel in Canva may result in a subpar final product.

Now, you can start adding your footage to the template. Simply drag and drop each clip into the template, and arrange them in the order that you want them to appear. You can also add text overlays and other elements to help tell your story.

Once you’re happy with your reel, click on the “Download” button to save it as a video file. You can then upload it to your website or social media accounts, or send it to potential clients or employers.

Creating a reel in Canva is easy and fun. With just a few clicks, you can put together a professional-looking reel that will help you get hired for new projects and jobs.
