Canva Video Templates That Make Influencer Life Easier

Editable Beauty Influencer Reels and Posts

As a digital seller working with Canva templates for over a year, I’ve seen a trend: most people still prefer images over video when creating content. Even though we keep hearing that "this is the video era," I totally get it—video is harder. We all know how tricky it is to plan, record, and edit something that feels good enough to post.

But here’s the thing:

• Video is way more engaging than static mockups.
• People just don’t feel confident creating video content.
• And many don’t have design or editing skills to bring their ideas to life.

Still, I’ve seen firsthand how powerful even short-form video content can be. Once I started posting little 30-second clips on social media, I was amazed—those tiny videos got so muuuuch more engagement than anything else I’d shared!

Did you know? According to a 2024 report by Socialinsider, Instagram video posts have an average engagement rate of 1.5%, compared to 0.7% for image posts. That’s more than double the interaction just by using video!

That’s when I knew: I had to offer video templates that made the process easier for others.

Why I Started Creating Canva Video Templates

I’m a graphic designer with over 20 years of experience. Yes, I’m a perfectionist—some people think that’s a flaw, but it’s part of what makes my products shine.

If something doesn’t feel just right, I’ll spend extra time making sure every single element is in place. Here’s a peek into my process:

• A single video template (even just one!) takes me 2–3 hours to create.
• If I’m working on a multi-page video template? You’re looking at 5+ hours.

Even with experience, I don’t rush it. Why? Because I care. I care about:

• Your experience
• The quality of your content
• Making sure what you see on the product page is exactly what you get

Why You Should Try Ready-to-Use Video Templates

Let’s be honest: if you’re an influencer without video editing skills, hiring someone can be a great solution—but it’s expensive and time-consuming. And your time? It’s precious.

That’s where ready-to-use Canva video templates come in.

Here’s what makes them worth it:

• Pre-designed content: Text, image placeholders, effects, transitions, and animation are already there.
• No design experience required. You just replace the content with your own.
• Professional quality in a fraction of the time it would take to DIY from scratch.

Remember: if it takes me 5 hours to create one professionally, it might take someone with no experience an entire day—and still not look the way they want.

So yes, templates are a time-saver. But more than that, they’re an energy saver. And let’s be real: we all need that.

Bonus Insight: Wyzowl’s 2024 Video Marketing Statistics reveal that 91% of businesses use video as a marketing tool, and 87% say it helps increase sales. Influencers and solo creators can benefit from the same strategies using video templates!

My Message to Solo Entrepreneurs and Influencers

I truly believe in this new wave of creators—people who want to work from home, build something of their own, and share their unique voice with the world. But to make that work, you have to manage your time like a CEO.

If you don’t know how to edit videos and don’t want to waste days learning? Don’t. Use that time to focus on what you do love.

Remember: building your dream life is all about being strategic with your time—instead of having a 9 to 5 job.
