 Hey guys, welcome back to my YouTube channel. Daniel Rosel here on this YouTube channel. I try to share info about living in Jerusalem and Israel, whatever useful info I could really find in that bracket. Folks who have been subscribing to me recently on YouTube may have noticed a bit of a trend that I've been doing a lot of these sort of informational videos and I've been using, as I've mentioned in a couple of them, Canva to make them. Canva is a tool that has taken me a little bit of time to embrace but now I'm really keen on it and I'm learning every, with every video I make, I'm learning something new that I can do to try to just make the videos a bit more visually useful. So what I wanted to show today for folks was specifically because there is an Israel connection here. I want to show you guys the Israel library for people thinking of subscribing. So as you can see here on the top left I've recently subscribed to the Pro Canva. So I have Pro Canva for a year now and that basically means you can use sort of pretty much everything in their library. You can also do stuff on a transparent background, etc. So I'm going to just go into the YouTube thumbnail template here which is 1280 by 720 pixels and I want to show you guys if you're looking for stock imagery, stock photos, stock videos of Israel, stock graphic elements, kind of what you can find in there. So you want to click on into elements in Canva and that's going to bring you up and it's divided into, as you can see here, graphics which are sort of clip art style things and you can see the Israeli flag pops up for me because I've used that probably in a ton of videos and that's something I like about Canva too. It kind of has a bit of AI bait into it so it tries to save you time, videos, photos, etc. So I'm going to just type in Jerusalem. Now there's paid options for stock for Israel. There's also you can go on to pixels.com as well and pixels have a bit of stuff. It's not a huge library so I can put in Jerusalem and some of these might look familiar for folks who see my videos and you can also do videos as well. So it's not the only place that you can get it but something really nice about Canva is that you can do all your work in one tool. So I've put Jerusalem into my search bar here. I'm in elements and what I can do is click on one of these headings so we can see graphics, photos, videos, audio, frames and charts. I'm only going to look at photos in this first one, right? So this basically shows me a bunch of photos of Jerusalem that I can use in my videos. The ones that have the little kind of crown icon are the ones that are only on Pro so if you only have the free Canva you won't be able to use these or they'll be watermarked so in order to not use them you need a pro account but again if you look at how much value Canva is delivering in terms of giving you like a decent stock image library I think it's actually a pretty worthwhile deal. So this is what I'll commonly do is if I'm using these images in video I will I'm just going to jump back here to my home page. The only thing I don't like about Canva is they don't have a button it seems so obvious to me for creating 1920 by 1080 frames for HD video so I'm constantly manually typing this in but if I type in 1920 by 1080 and I wanted to have a frame of Jerusalem in my video I can go into elements unless I wanted the western wall click into photos and I have a bunch of options so I might go for this one and then I'm just kind of manually stretching that out to 1920 by 1080 you can do it preserving the original aspect ratio or you can kind of go like this and it's going to zoom in to parts of the image so you can do either approach so that's kind of the photo element and it's a decently rich library right if I type in other Israel keywords like Israel I can get this one I can get Israeli flag it to me is a bit deeper than what it could find on Pexels I don't know how it would compare to other stock platforms but for me there's more than enough here to suffice with my needs right so and I'm just going to do one more keyword just to give you guys a better sense for what's out there here's Tel Aviv and I can do you can see the buildings of Tel Aviv this one is Tel Aviv at night time and the quality of these images is all pretty decent so even if even as I kind of you know stretch out the image to fill up my 1920 canvas here you can see by the sign on the building of Klal Bituach the resolution is definitely good enough to support that that look decent in the full res so that was photos let's just take a quick look at videos as well so I'm going to keep going with Tel Aviv but this time I'm going to click into videos and you can see there's actually a whole video library so this is as you can see the coast of Tel Aviv on a kind of cloudy day and it's a drone shot of looks like somewhere like in Yaffo to me something like that so what you can do is again all you have to do is stretch this guy out to your canvas I'm stretching it out on a 1920 by 1080 canvas and then you can download this as an mp4 video and as you can see this is a 4k video so it's it's offering me the option to do this as 4k but I do all my videos in 1080p and you can save it so you don't need to go down from 4k to 1080 each time then click on download and the only criticism I really have here is that this is kind of a slow process because basically it's on canvas back end it's rendering this video now you can see it takes a little while and you but you can stop it by clicking x you can also combine elements so if I wanted to say like the beautiful city of Tel Aviv and I'm just going to sort of like have that coming up there on the screen and like yellow so I can overlay that and now when I render out this video it's going to be the title staying fixed and the drone shot in the background and there's just so much more that you can do with canvas very powerful like an animate in this text so that it kind of comes in or something and just make turn down the speed of that a little bit so it kind of rolls on to the screen and you can see for those kind of informational videos that's starting to look a little bit more professional as I slow it down right for maybe a five second clip so that's basically the stock library again there are paid stock libraries dedicated stock libraries but if you go for a canva pro subscription you're getting a lot between the stock video and the stock audio and the stock photos there is a lot of stuff there that you're getting in audio there isn't I haven't seen much but those these two and sorry just before I finish graphics as well so I can do israelan graphics and we're getting kind of more cliparty stuff so I can and again you can add these all together right so I can have now I'm going to add just like an Israeli flag to my video even though that doesn't look very good and now when I play the video we're getting the text the clip art graphic I can add another clip art graphic here to make it look even weirder but you can see it's all preconfigured that this is on a transparent background so it'll just show above the above the image of Tel Aviv and I'm going to take those elements off so that's it it's a really useful if you're looking for stock doing videos like I'm doing or just looking for creating social media graphics with footage of stock footage of our stock photos of common stuff you see in Israel but you don't necessarily have your own stock library to base it on you can get a ton of value out of a canvas sub and make all these graphics happen thanks for watching guys subscribe for more videos
