Clip Studio AI vs Canva
Canva is a general-purpose design platform used for a wide range of visual content, with AI features layered on top. Teams evaluating it for ads usually want a flexible manual design tool. Confirm its exact current ad and video capabilities before relying on specifics (TODO_CONFIRM).

You want campaign-ready video in minutes instead of building each layout by hand.
You want AI to handle the scripting, voiceover, captions, and pacing for you.
You want every aspect ratio rendered automatically from one brief.
You want a workflow that needs no manual design skills.
