Canva integrates Google’s Veo 3 to enable video clips with sound

Canva has launched a new ‘Create a Video Clip’ feature backed by Google’s Veo 3 video generation model. In an announcement on its website, the company said users can now create eight-second video clips with sound using text or voice prompts.

This feature is available to users on paid plans (Pro, Teams, and Enterprise), as well as Canva for nonprofit users. It is also accessible to paid subscribers of Leonardo.Ai, a generative AI startup acquired by Canva in 2024.

As of now, users are limited to generating five videos per month, but the company has stated that access will be gradually expanded over time.

Veo 3 was released by Google last month at the I/O 2025 developer conferenceas an upgrade to its predecessor, Veo 2. While Veo 2 could generate visuals, it lacked sound. Veo 3, on the other hand, can synchronise lip movements with dialogue, simulate real-world physics, and interpret complex commands.

How to use the feature

To get started, users can go to Canva AI from the homepage or sidebar and select the ‘Create a Video Clip’ option. Then, they need to enter a prompt that details what is needed in the video. Thereafter, a video is generated.

If further refinement or fine-tuning is needed, Canva’s video editor can customize the clip as required.

MagicBrief acquisition

In addition to this feature, Canva also revealed plans to acquire MagicBrief, an Australian creative intelligence startup founded in 2022.

“Their AI-powered platform makes it easier for marketers to unlock, understand, and respond to the content strategies, formats, and messages that perform best,” the company said.
