Beyond templates: a Canva video alternative built for SaaS motion design
Canva is fantastic for quick social graphics and simple template-based videos. SaaS launch films, though, need your real product in motion, camera moves on UI, and pacing that feels premium. That is exactly where Claude Video focuses.
