01How to fade in video
Select your video clip in Canva and adjust the fade-in setting so the clip gradually appears at the start.

Apply a fade-out effect near the end of the clip so it transitions smoothly instead of cutting abruptly.

Adjust the audio track's fade settings separately so the sound eases in and out alongside or independent of the video.

Keep fade durations short and consistent across your project for a polished, cohesive feel.
