Musical.ly or Tik Tok. Tik Tok or Musical.ly? It doesn't matter that I don't care. These two musical applications have come together to bring all their users together under the same tool. With very similar options and with all kinds of music and video editing resources to achieve really striking results. But do you want to know some secrets or qualities to surprise your followers? Well, be sure to read our article with 5 tricks to get really striking videos.
Matrix Effect
One of the most striking effects of Tik Tok is that of rain. A filter that simulates a flood in our video and that, most surprising of all, we can stop with our hand. Well, you can get more attractive results if you move the mobile while the rain is still. Something that will remind you of slow motion moments from the movie The Matrix
Just open the Effects menu and jump to the filters tab. Here you will find the rain effect or the effect of the petals, which has the same function. They are effects that you have to download to use. Once selected, you just have to start recording to capture the rain falling. At the desired moment we release the palm of the hand and stop the rain. Now you can move the mobile to get an effect with a 3D sensation But be careful, Tik Tok may lose the reference of your hand and show the rain falling again.
Switch Camera
As in other trendy applications such as Instagram or WhatsApp, switching between the front and rear cameras can be carried out with a simple gesture. It is a simple double tap on the screen With this you do not have to move your finger to the icon at the top right of the screen, which is the one that allow this action. So, if you're holding the phone with one hand and it's hard to reach the button, this double tap does all the work.
You also have to know that, with the change of camera, Tik Tok respects the filter you were using at that moment, and launches the corresponding one with respect to the other camera. So everything remains as it should, but in the opposite perspective.
Choose same music
There's nothing like capturing a little inspiration by watching other users' music or humor videos. If when browsing the feed you see something you like, feel free to click on the lower right corner, just over the title of the song that is playing in that video. In this way you will access a selection of related videos around the same melody, dramatization or locution.
From here you can delve into the ideas and content that have already been made around that music or locution. Definitely a good breeding ground for your own ideas and videos about it.
Find recording modes
If you're coming from Musical.ly, small changes between apps may take a while to get used to. One thing you'll notice the most is that have hidden the recording options behind a button. It's second from the top at the top right of the screen. When pressed, the options appear at the bottom, thus being able to choose between epic, fast, normal or slow speed.
Avoid content you don't like
There is a way to customize your feed to only see videos that really interest you. On the one hand, there is the option of following specific users. So you will see their new creations directly on the wall. On the other hand is the limitation of suggestions. Make a long press on a video that you don't like or a content that you don't like. This is used to give a "dislike" and prevent other similar videos from appearing.
