Questions

Is Waffle a good Canva alternative for video?

If you want to describe a video rather than build it on a timeline, yes. Waffle makes the cuts, titles and transitions, and you change anything by typing.

Can I use my own photos and clips?

Yes. Add your photos and clips, describe the video, and Waffle edits them. You can also start from text alone.

Does Waffle make vertical videos for Reels and TikTok?

Yes. Ask for a vertical, square or wide video in your prompt, then download it when you're happy.

Is Waffle affiliated with Canva?

No. Waffle is an independent AI video editor and isn't affiliated with or endorsed by Canva or its owners.

Which one should I choose?

If you want templates and a full design suite, Canva covers a lot. If you mainly want a finished video from a description, try Waffle.
