Testing Google's AI video generation capabilities on Canva: Does it produce satisfactory results?
Google's latest AI video technology, Veo 3, has been integrated into Canva's platform, allowing users to create short, cinematic videos with synchronized audio from simple text prompts. This partnership between Google and Canva marks a significant step forward in AI-powered video creation.
Development Process and Partnership
Canva started integrating Google’s Veo 3 model into its AI video generation capabilities around mid-2025. This partnership offers the powerful AI to Canva Pro subscribers and users as part of its Magic Studio platform. The underlying technology comes from Google and DeepMind researchers, who have advanced AI and machine learning models, particularly transformer architectures that have fueled recent AI revolutions.
Users interact with Veo 3 directly by entering text prompts describing scenes, which the AI then uses to generate video clips including customized styles, lighting, motion, and audio — all generated within one or two minutes. Canva provides an easy interface where Veo 3 powers the "Create a video clip" feature that produces fully synchronized video and background music quickly and with minimal user effort.
Copyright and Usage
Videos generated by Veo 3 in Canva can be saved and edited within Canva’s ecosystem, with the implication from tutorials that users own or have broad usage rights over their creations for customization and distribution. Although explicit copyright policy details for Veo 3-generated content within Canva have not been fully disclosed, typically Canva’s terms grant users wide licensed rights over AI-generated content created on their platform. Users should consult Canva’s official copyright terms for precise legal guidance.
Given that Veo 3 is Google-powered, the model’s generative AI output is integrated fully into Canva's ecosystem, meaning the copyright and licensing are likely governed primarily by Canva’s platform policies, not Google’s independently.
How to Use Veo 3 in Canva
To use Veo 3 in Canva, access the platform and open the AI video section. Select the "Create a video clip" feature powered by Veo 3. Enter your descriptive text prompt specifying the scene, style, lighting, and audio preferences. The AI generates 8-second cinematic video clips with motion and sound synchronized within moments. Users can edit scripts and regenerate videos until satisfied.
Since the launch of Veo 3 in May, over 70 million videos have been created using this AI-powered tool. With its ability to create fluid, natural videos that synchronize video with audio and dialogue in a single pass, Veo 3 is a genuine step-change for creativity in the realm of AI-generated content.
