The Gaps

Where Canva Video falls short

If you need marketing-grade video content that drives revenue, Canva Video has real limitations:

Video is a feature of a design tool, not a video production platform
Limited to 2D motion graphics and text animation — no 3D, no character work
Every Canva video has the recognizable 'Canva look' that audiences can spot
No storytelling structure — it's a slideshow maker with transitions
Cannot produce cinematic content, custom animation, or brand films

Our Honest Take

The real difference

Canva is an incredible design tool — we recommend it for social graphics, presentations, and quick internal content. But Canva Video is a design tool pretending to be a video production tool. The output is animated slideshows with transitions, not video content. For anything that represents your brand externally — launch videos, ads, demos, brand films — you need actual video production, not animated Canva slides.

FAQ

Common questions about Canva Video vs WithLore

My team already uses Canva. Why add WithLore?

Keep using Canva for what it's great at — social graphics, presentations, quick internal assets. Use WithLore for the content that matters most — launch videos, ads, brand films, and anything where video quality directly impacts revenue.

Can Canva create professional video content?

Canva can create animated graphics that look like video. But professional video content requires storytelling, cinematic production, custom animation, and creative direction that a design tool simply can't provide.
