This was great! I created a fully branded countdown timer with music and it works perfectly! I used two timers - 5 mins which I trimmed to 4:30 and a different 30-second one. Thank you for this tutorial.
Thanks for you videos!! Do you have a video of how to use a timer in a video? for example a workout video with a 30s timer inside the video so people can follow along. I can't seem to make it work!!
It would depend on the software they are using. They've most likely created an hour video that plays picture in picture if they are livestreaming. Or added it as an overlay if the video is recorded.
Most of these built-in timers are for short periods of time. I'm having a sale and I want the sale to run for 4 days. It seems a lot more difficult to make over a few hours. Thoughts?
I have tried this four times with no luck. When you shorten the timer to your desired timeframe, is that when you download it and then add it to other aspects of your project? I shortened it and then added it but it still shows 10 minutes. Help and thanks Sara.
Great, easy to follow and execute tutorial. Thank you Sara! I too was totally unaware that Canva had so much more functionality and tools that I hadn't been using.
Hi. thank u for this video. quick q for clarification: if we are monetising on TH-cam, will we get copyright claims if we use the music from streamyard? is there a way around that? and did we understand correctly, everytime we use the coutndown we need to make a new download for each episode?
This is my first time using canva and was SUPER helpful. I was hoping to add audio but only at the very end of my countdown, not throughout. Is that possible?
Having a good microphone makes a big difference. I'm a big fan of both Rode and Deity who I've used. Also with a guest..having headphones is essential.
You can definitely make it longer than 10 minutes. A 24 hour countdown timer make cause Canva to freak out a little...but it's worth testing to see if you can export a file for that long.
Great tutorial ... but I seem to be having an issue. I'm trying to add a video behind the timer (like you did with galaxy), but it's only a 20 second video and I can't figure out how to make the video loop for the full 5 minutes.
Great tutorial! Thank you. Question, do you need the upgraded streamyard account in order to upload the countdown video? I currently use the free version and don't see the option. Thank you again.
Thank you for this great tutorial! I'm starting my first stream tomorrow and this will be so useful! Sadly your hack doesn't seem to work for me 😣 The 10 minute timer doesn't show up for me for some reason
Hey Sara, what's shakin!! Your Streamyard videos have really helped me out with my TH-cam Channel. Just started to take advantage of the hiddend gems you mentioned. Thanks for your videos.
Hey, Sarah. Thanks for this tutorial. It's really helpful. I have been using canva for a while and haven't caught on to this. I would love to ask if the background from the countdown video could be removed?
You can't remove the background of the video timer itself...but you can select your own background (from an image or photo, or video) and put the countdown timer video over that...
Thank you so much :-) I really like your video, can you explain how I put my countdown to my live streaming Facebook? or do I just put the video and after 5 minutes click live?
Thank you Sara for a very clear and helpful video on how to create a countdown timer. I have a quick question - Is it just for livestreaming or can I put it into a normal youtube video? Many thanks
Firstly, thanks for the informative video content! Would anyone know how one can enable an automatic video clip to play in a pdf leaflet created in Canva? Meaning when I send out the leaflet to prospective clients I'd like the video clip to automatically count down as soon as they open the pdf (to give the sense of urgency "Sale Counter"). Thanks in advance. Cheers!
Sara love your tutorials. However I've spent 20 minutes on Canva using all sorts of search words and I cannot find a countdown timer longer than 1 minute. Any advice?

Hi Sara! Can I use this program to add a countdown timer to a workout video. I've been searching everywhere! Thank you for the video.

I put in 10 and there were no ten minute countdown
This was great! I created a fully branded countdown timer with music and it works perfectly! I used two timers - 5 mins which I trimmed to 4:30 and a different 30-second one. Thank you for this tutorial.
You’re very welcome 😊
3 Years laters, i cant find any timer longer then 1 minute
Hi Sara, thanks for the tutorial. Would it be possible to use for a specific date instead of minutes or seconds? Say a holiday timer?
Wowwwww!
I was about to invest on other softwares. Canva is a gold mine. A big salute to you for this amazing hack.
Complete noob to youtube video making. This is super helpful. Thanks Sara!
You’re very welcome ☺️
Thanks for you videos!! Do you have a video of how to use a timer in a video? for example a workout video with a 30s timer inside the video so people can follow along. I can't seem to make it work!!
Which livestreaming software are you using? It would depend firstly on that as to how you add it.
i love how you teach things so thorougly. thank you
You're very welcome!
Thank you so much for this tutorial. All I can find is "seconds" not minutes. Do you know if they changed this?
Do you know if it can work for counting down days/months/weeks?
You could technically try it out?
Thank you for this information. Do I have to download it every week if I am doing a live every week?
Much easier than another Canva countdown video I just saw. I knew it could be simpler! Thank you
Awesome. Thanks so much. I've seen youtubers with pomodoro timers in the corner of the screen running for over an hour and wonder how they do that.
It would depend on the software they are using. They've most likely created an hour video that plays picture in picture if they are livestreaming. Or added it as an overlay if the video is recorded.
LOVE THIS. Thank You!!
Hello, is it possible to make a circle count down timer with canva? And you create these timers with Canva Pro, right?
I'm trying to create a timer that's 30 minutes long and smaller increments from there. I can't find a template in Canva. Is there a way to make one?
Thank you so much...Great and easy to follow
You’re welcome. Thanks for the comment :)
If you want to be able to customize the countdown font vs just using the video countdown timer, using bulk create is pretty awesome!
Totally agree!
I really like your contents thankmyou for sharing I want to level up my streaming way.
Thank you for the kind words 🥰 can’t wait to see your live streams
Thank you Sarah! Great information and I will look so professional now!
Glad it was helpful!
how can i make on without a square background so i can add it to videos?
Thank You So much!! This was super helpful!!
I’m glad it was useful
Most of these built-in timers are for short periods of time. I'm having a sale and I want the sale to run for 4 days. It seems a lot more difficult to make over a few hours. Thoughts?
Tysm for this! I didn't think it would be this easy!
I have tried this four times with no luck. When you shorten the timer to your desired timeframe, is that when you download it and then add it to other aspects of your project? I shortened it and then added it but it still shows 10 minutes. Help and thanks Sara.
Looking forward to next your next livestream.
Me too!
Super useful thanks Sara
Thank you so much! I've learned how to make a timer Woohoo! I'll be using mine for my streams too so this is so helpful.
woo hoo!
How to add this in recorded video
Great, easy to follow and execute tutorial. Thank you Sara! I too was totally unaware that Canva had so much more functionality and tools that I hadn't been using.
😁 appreciate the kind words and comment. I’m glad you found the video useful and easy to follow.
We have been looking for niches to create content and ended up with timer concept. Do you think its a good plan?
what app using for live stream or any website
THANK YOU!
You’re welcome 😊
Amazing! Congrats! Gratitude.
I do not see 10 min countdown, The longest seems to be 1 min
This was exactly what I needed thank you!!
You're so welcome!
Hi! Can I get the link for your background video galaxy?
You are absolutely amazing, Thank you so much for your help!
You are so welcome!

Thank you so much for this video! It was such a huge help. I've seen other tutorials that use programs I don't own. So glad to see one done in Canva.
Thank you! It was really helpful...
You’re welcome
This is my first time using canva and was SUPER helpful. I was hoping to add audio but only at the very end of my countdown, not throughout. Is that possible?
Yes you can do this. You can add another video and then move the audio track to just cover the end of it.
I like your work !
Thank you! Cheers.
so much helpful!!!
I'm so glad.
Thank you...very very helpful!
this is rilly help full
Thanks Sara! I just happened upon this video. I’m going to try making my countdown now. Be right back! 💕Dutch
You got this!
Is the license only an issue if you use the music?
how do i make a longer countdown? like i want two hours
You're so amazing!!!!
Thank you so much. :)
How do I delay it so the timer pops up and countsdown after say 5secs of the video starting?
So will the music license cover me streaming from Streamyard to Facebook and not TH-cam?
It will cover both but you need to download the video twice so you have 2 licenses
Hey can I use the video on youtube without canva video? Will there be a license kind problem then?
Thank you so so so so so so so much! you are appreciated. 👊🏿
You’re welcome 😊
I have Canva Pro and don't see a 10 minute countdown video
Thanks Sarah.Very resourceful. I see you use streamyard. How do you eliminate noise from the background especially when you invite guest
Having a good microphone makes a big difference. I'm a big fan of both Rode and Deity who I've used. Also with a guest..having headphones is essential.
Hi Sara, when we do that it only shows up for the PRO, and you said there would be on the free version, can you help?
Can you make one that’s longer than 10 minutes? I’m looking to make a countdown for a day before. Thanks
You can definitely make it longer than 10 minutes. A 24 hour countdown timer make cause Canva to freak out a little...but it's worth testing to see if you can export a file for that long.
@@SaraNguyen Awesome. Thank you so much :)
@@SaraNguyen How do you make it longer? I can’t find where to find a video that long or to be able to change the time.
Great tutorial ... but I seem to be having an issue. I'm trying to add a video behind the timer (like you did with galaxy), but it's only a 20 second video and I can't figure out how to make the video loop for the full 5 minutes.
Thank you! Extremely helpful :)
Great tutorial! Thank you. Question, do you need the upgraded streamyard account in order to upload the countdown video? I currently use the free version and don't see the option. Thank you again.
You can add it as a video file.
This is an awesome training video. Thank you!
You're very welcome. :)
Can you do this on your iphone? Or is there a way to get the countdown timer on videos from
An app on your phone?
yeah. the app is called canva
Thank you for this great tutorial! I'm starting my first stream tomorrow and this will be so useful! Sadly your hack doesn't seem to work for me 😣 The 10 minute timer doesn't show up for me for some reason
Hi @sarah nguyen, I saw you say that you can add your own audio. Can you add your own motion background as well?
thank you!
I love it
Thank you 😊
I discovered you channel recently and I'm seriously binging on your videos to learn everything about livestreaming. Thanks 🤗
Awesome! Thank you!

I hope so too!
Can the Canva countdown also be uploaded for the FB live?
It depends on which software that you use to do it :)
@@SaraNguyen I’m making it on Canva. I know I can schedule a post like 5 min before the live. But I don’t think it lets me make it part of the live
Thank you Sara for a very clear and helpful video on how to create a countdown timer. I have a quick question - Is it just for livestreaming or can I put it into a normal youtube video? Many thanks
Is it possible to create a countdown for days? So it shows days till ....
Technically...yeah you could.

Great video. Wealth of information.
Today is a beautiful day - because I stumbled upon your channel!
😊☺️
This was really good Sara! Truly helped me and considering I use both streamyard and Canva I much appreciated this! Will be sticking around for more.
Really glad to hear it was useful :) Appreciate the comment.
Do you haved linked download countdoad
Sara love your tutorials. However I've spent 20 minutes on Canva using all sorts of search words and I cannot find a countdown timer longer than 1 minute. Any advice?
Yes, in the 'videos' tab (left hand side), search for the keyword 'ten' and the 10 minute timer will show :)
Awesome. Thank you for the quick reply. I was searching 10 not ten, found it!
If its a video...how does it attach to your live....did i miss something please help 😢
Does this work for zoom?
Hello, What I need is to know how to add a Donation button
can you use your own custom song?
Yes you can. You can upload your own music tracks.
@@SaraNguyen How? i try
editing website link please
your link caused me to download a monthly version which wasn't the pro version.
Hi! I'm having trouble finding that 10 min countdown. I have a PRO account and followed your steps...I'm not sure if CANVA removed it? Any tips?
Hmmmm I can still see it...In the ‘videos’ tab and I searched for the keyword ‘ten’.
@@SaraNguyen Finally found it! Perseverance! Thank you! : )
I am having the same issue! What did you do to find it? @@thehealingroom196
Thank you for this tutorial! Do I still need to connect my TH-cam account (when downloading) if I am using my countdown on Facebook and not TH-cam?
no :)
I cannot find a five or ten minute timer in Canva, largest I see is one minute.
Good
Can I do a 24 hours timer?
If you can get the animations to work for you…you can give it a go.
Dang it, I have to watch this again, I waited too long to give it a try and my brain leaked out everything Sara taught me...
I need a day, hour, minute, second ticker or timer.
Can you create a 60-minute countdown?
technically you can
