Frequently asked questions
What's the fundamental difference between Canva and ClipDraft?
Canva is a design tool: you choose a template, adjust colors and text, add media — the result depends on your design decisions. ClipDraft is a generation tool: you enter a prompt ("motivational video about perseverance"), AI creates the complete video. No design knowledge needed, no manual steps.
Does Canva have a TikTok integration?
Canva can export videos as MP4 and has a social media connection for direct posts. However, there's no connection to the TikTok Content Posting API for drafts. ClipDraft uses TikTok OAuth 2.0 — the finished video lands directly in your TikTok drafts without you opening the app.
Can Canva automatically create TikTok videos daily?
No. Canva always requires manual design work. ClipDraft has a built-in automation feature: you set once which category should be generated daily (e.g. News, Motivation, Custom prompt), and ClipDraft creates and saves a new video in your TikTok drafts every day.
Who is Canva better suited for?
Canva is ideal when you want control over the visual design: your own brand colors, your own logo, specific text layouts. It's the right tool for brands that need consistent visual branding on TikTok. ClipDraft is better for creators who need to produce content daily and have no time for manual design.
