- Download 3 product images Front/front left/front right/ of your ornament
- Remove the background of each (however you do it) and make sure they’re all the same size (ish)
- Place a suitable Christmas tree background or sold color and a hanging ribbon (wherever you’ve got one from) and save out each image (these become your ‘frames’ for your animation) Make sure all your ornaments are in the same position (center)
- Create/ Login to your Canva account (free one works)
- Press ‘Create a design’ and search for Animated Social Media 1080 (will open new tab)
- Upload your photos (I had previously created a folder and uploaded my assets to that)
- Add your first photo by dragging it into the window, adjust as needed and change the duration from 5.0 seconds to 0.5 seconds (click the number next to the clock at the top left)
- Press the + button to add a page and add your next frame (photo), change the timing (making sure it’s in the same position as the previous
- Repeat for your next image, change the timing - check position
- You can duplicate the images (ctrl d) along the timeline, and reorder as needed - press the play button (bottom left) to view your animation
- You can add titles/call to action whatever you choose - I suggest changing the timing to about 2 seconds if you add text (not too long - not too short) - just keep playing it/editing timing till it looks right
- To download - press the share button (top right) rename and download.
- Upload to your media manager of your product and congratulations, you’ve just made your first animation
