Canva integrates Google's Veo 3 to enable video clips with sound
Canva has launched a new 'Create a Video Clip' feature backed by Google's Veo 3 video generation model. In an announcement on its website, the company said users can now create eight-second video clips with sound using text or voice prompts.
This feature is available to users on paid plans (Pro, Teams, and Enterprise), as well as Canva for nonprofit users. It is also accessible to paid subscribers of Leonardo.Ai, a generative AI startup acquired by Canva in 2024.
As of now, users are limited to generating five videos per month, but the company has stated that access will be gradually expanded over time.
Veo 3 was released by Google last month at the I/O 2025 developer conference, as an upgrade to its predecessor, Veo 2. While Veo 2 could generate visuals, it lacked sound. Veo 3, on the other hand, can synchronise lip movements with dialogue, simulate real-world physics, and interpret complex commands.
How to use the feature
To get started, users can go to Canva AI from the homepage or sidebar and select the 'Create a Video Clip' option. Then, they need to enter a prompt that details what is needed in the video. Thereafter, a video is generated.
If further refinement or fine-tuning is needed, Canva's video editor can customize the clip as required.
MagicBrief acquisition
In addition to this feature, Canva also revealed plans to acquire MagicBrief, an Australian creative intelligence startup founded in 2022.'Their AI-powered platform makes it easier for marketers to unlock, understand, and respond to the content strategies, formats, and messages that perform best,' the company said.

CBI Names Ex-Officials Of Tata Firm In Alleged Rs 800 Crore Port Scam
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has filed a case against former officials of Tata Consulting Engineers (TCE) and Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust (JNPT), and two dredging companies over alleged irregularities worth over Rs 800 crore in the Capital Dredging Project to deepen ship navigational channels near Mumbai, officials said. The action against the company officials follows a three-year preliminary inquiry into allegations of inflated estimates, throttling of competition to favour international bidders, extension of undue favours to contractors, and suppression of reports from independent expert organisations. In its FIR, the CBI has named the then chief engineer of JNPT Sunil Kumar Madabhavi, then project director of TCE, Devdutt Bose, Boskalis Smit India LLP, Jan De Nul Dredging India Pvt Ltd and other unidentified public servants under IPC Section 120-B (criminal conspiracy), 420 (cheating) and provisions of the Prevention of Corruption Act. CBI registers case against former Chief Manager of JNPA and private persons/entities for alleged Corruption and causing loss of over Rs. 800 Crores to Jawaharlal Nehru Port Authority — Central Bureau of Investigation (India) (@CBIHeadquarters) June 20, 2025 After the FIR was filed on Wednesday, the CBI conducted searches at five locations in Mumbai and Chennai, including the residence of Madabhavi, Bose and offices of private companies. Documents relating to the Capital Dredging Project, digital devices and documents showing investments made by public servants were recovered from the searches, a CBI spokesperson said. No immediate reaction was available from the accused companies. The case pertains to a project envisaged by the JNPT to deepen and widen the navigational channel it shared with the Mumbai Port in 2003 to cater to the needs of larger size cargo ships. The Tata firm was roped in for preparation of a final report on the planning for dredging activities for the Capital Dredging Phase-I project, which was submitted in 2010 in association with Dredging Solution. TCE was also awarded the work of project management consultant for the project, including preparation of the tender documents and work of supervising the execution of the project, the FIR alleged. "The allegations of pecuniary advantage obtained by the private companies as a result of abuse of official position by the JNPT officials resulting into a huge wrongful loss to the exchequer, spread over the period from 2003 to 2014 (phase-I of the project) and 2013 to 2019 (phase-II of the project) was also inquired," the CBI said in the FIR.

Two Guinness Records set; IYD-2025 a historic event, says Naidu
Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu expressed profound happiness over the success of the Yogandhra initiative and the world records achieved in performing Yoga as part of International Yoga Day–2025 celebrations that concluded in Visakhapatnam on Saturday (June 21). Two Guinness Book of World records and 21 World Records were registered by the State government. Speaking to reporters after conducting a review on the successful conduct of the celebrations in which Prime Minister Narendra Modi took part, Mr. Naidu said the event on Saturday was incident-free and a historic one. 'This was done with the use of technology and proper planning. It was a massive success and the credit goes to the cabinet sub-committee that was formed to oversee the arrangements and the officials,' he said. Mr. Naidu said a staggering 3,02,087 people have participated in the event on Saturday and the participation was voluntary. 'The enthusiasm of the people was clearly evident and that was why we could achieve this feat. People started arriving as early as 2 a.m.,' he said. Two crore people Lauding the efforts of Mr. Narendra Modi in promoting yoga across 175 countries, the CM said yoga was performed at 1.30 lakh locations with the participation of more than two crore people across the State on Saturday. 'We will come up with a Visakhapatnam Declaration with the Yoga Day as inspiration. Yoga will be a game changer in preventive healthcare,' he asserted and said Yoga, Naturopathy and Ayurveda are treasures passed down by our ancestors and Prime Minister Modi revived them. Further, green energy, Swacch Bharat and natural farming are now being taken up on a massive scale to protect the nature, Mr. Naidu said. On the occasion, Mr. Naidu said the 'Double engine sarkar' had accelerated development of Visakhapatnam. 'The Visakhapatnam Steel Plant is being revived, setting up of a railway zone is on track, Metro Rail connectivity is not far away. IT giants like Google, Cognizant and TCS are also coming to Visakhapatnam,' he said. The government will soon unveil a vision document for the development of the erstwhile three north coastal Andhra and East Godavari districts, the Chief Minister said. 'An economic corridor will come up on the lines of Mumbai. Similarly, Rayalaseema will be also have an economic corridor with Tirupati as its focal point and Amaravati will be centre for development of other districts,' he said and added that they have promised to provide 25 lakh jobs and they will deliver it. Asked about the criticism of Opposition YSRC that public money was wasted on the event, Mr. Naidu said it is unwarranted and unnecessary to speak about some individuals on happy occasions. 'Didn't he (former Chief Minister) spent hundreds of crores on Rushikonda (Palace)?' he questioned and said the Centre will bear ₹75 crore of the total amount spent by the State for YogAndhra. Records set Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu said more money has to be spent to set Guinness World Records. Announcing that a total of 21 world records and two Guinness World Records were set in the month-long campaign, Naidu said aiming for Guinness Records requires expenditure of money.

Google techie reveals how he got the job after 2 internships. It might be the ultimate playbook for breaking into big tech
In an industry where getting a foot in the door can feel more difficult than debugging legacy code, Google software engineer Tawfiq Mohammad's journey is fast becoming a masterclass in how to build a successful Big Tech career—starting as early as your first year in college. In an interview with YouTuber Sajjaad Khader, Mohammad shared his experience of interning at Google for two summers before securing a full-time role. He credits this early exposure and structured preparation as some of the most decisive factors in his career. 'I think one of the most important things I've done in my career, to date, is applying for these first- and second-year programs,' he said, highlighting how early-stage internships come with a relatively lower hiring bar. 'For example, they'll ask like a Leetcode easy instead of a Leetcode medium,' he pointed out, referencing the notorious technical interviews that many developers dread. From Chaos to Clarity: Tracking Applications Like a Pro But getting into Google wasn't just a matter of talent or timing—it was about strategy. Mohammad emphasized the importance of tracking applications rather than submitting resumes en masse and hoping for the best. 'It was very organized,' he said. 'I would update the status of each application, and it would help me a lot to prepare for each interview and for which stage I was at.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like War Thunder - Register now for free and play against over 75 Million real Players War Thunder Play Now His advice also included mastering patterns in coding problems rather than rote memorization. 'If you try to memorize it problem by problem, you'll eventually be given a problem that you don't know,' he cautioned. 'You just want to master the overarching principles.' Referrals and Realism: Getting a Boost from the Inside While hard work paid off, Mohammad was honest about the advantages he had. A referral from a family friend already working at Google helped him land an interview faster. 'I got an interview really soon after she submitted the referral,' he recalled. 'You want to try to separate yourself from everyone as much as you can.'

For those without a network, Mohammad recommends building one through independent learning and meaningful projects that demonstrate real-world skills. The Mindset Shift That Matters After landing the internship, Mohammad didn't treat the opportunity as just a resume booster. Instead, he focused on self-learning and becoming as independent as possible while still seeking mentorship when needed. 'You're smart enough to evaluate whether you're blocked,' he said. 'But try to solve your problems on your own. Just by doing that, you'll understand how all the systems fit together.' He also underlined the importance of learning from seasoned developers during internships. 'They're really smart, so you want to absorb as much information as you can from them,' he said in an earlier conversation with Business Insider. In a tech job market bruised by layoffs and flooded with competition, Mohammad's story serves as a timely reminder that a mix of strategy, self-study, and soft networking can still crack open the gates of Big Tech. His methods may not be universal, but they offer a framework—perhaps even a playbook—for students hoping to rise in the ranks of Silicon Valley giants.
