Apply the autotune effect
There's a viral TikTok video that has gotten everyone's attention in recent months. The one in which a grandmother protested because she was going to burn her meatballs. But the funny thing was not the situation, but the autotune type sound effect. An element that completely changes the meaning of the video and makes it more fun and crazy. Well, it comes standard on TikTok and you just have to know how to apply it.
Just record your video regularly. Once you have completed it, click on the tick to the right of the record button to access the final settings. It is on this new screen where the sound effects icon appears, just at the top right.Clicking on this displays an effects bar to change the audio of the entire video. The autotune effect is called Vibrato, so tap on it to instantly download and apply it. With this you will already have the result before publishing the video and see how it looks. But be careful, it is not the only effect, although it is the one that is in fashion.
Create Reaction Videos
There is a trend on TikTok when it comes to creating reaction videos Basically it is to see an original video and show yourself reacting to the side . With this you can create all kinds of situations, both reaction and humor. But you have to know how to do it, of course.
It's simple: just click on the share button (the one with the arrow on the right). This will display several options, among which you must choose DuoThis way you can record your own video to the left of the original. Start recording so that it is also played in original video and you have the guide to react. And ready. When you publish you will do so with a collage of the two videos.
Record hands-free
Many TikTok videos require demanding production. And, if you don't have anyone to help you, you'll have to be your own camera Which makes it quite difficult if it weren't for the hands-free function. Master it to make your content look professional.
Before starting to record, all you have to do is click on the timer (the lowest icon of all those that appear in the upper right part). Here you will be given two options: 3 or 10 second countdownThe interesting thing is that, after that time that you choose, the recording will start directly. So you won't have to press the button to start recording and so you'll be ready for acting.
Save Effects
Occasionally there are fashions, trends or videos that feature a special effect that fascinates or enchants you. It is normal. TikTok is based on this, and in fact offers the possibility for you to use that effect yourself by simply clicking on it. But what if you don't have that original video handy? Well, you can save these effects as favorites to use them whenever you want.
If you pick it up from another video, all you have to do is click on the name of the effect that appears on the left side of the screen, just over the name of the video you're watching. This will take you to the main screen of the effect, where you can see other TikTok videos from people who are using it.Here you can click on the button Add to favourites to always have it at hand.
You can also start recording your own TikTok from scratch and tap on the box on the left. This brings up the menu of available effects. They are collected by categories, so you can navigate the length and breadth of this entire menu. Click on any of them to download and apply it. But what is interesting is that you click on one of them to mark it and then click on the flag icon that appears on the left of the screen. This will take you to the favourites menu (with the same icon within the effect categories) to always have it handy and save time searching for it.
Create videos with tags that appear and disappear
It is another of the TikTok trends that you can see from time to time. Videos in which signs or labels appear at certain times and places in them. They are eye-catching if used to the beat of the music, or played with the viewer. But how do you do it?
You just have to prepare the video a bit beforehand. That is, create a choreography and point out where the sign will appear. Don't worry about making it perfect, you can adjust the position of the poster after recording. Once you have recorded yourself, you only have to click on the tick to the right of the recording button to go to the post-production effects. Here click on the text and write one of the little signs. Don't forget to click on the A in the square to format it as a poster. Of course, you can give it any color you want. Once the sign has been created, click on it and choose the option Set duration With this you can place it anywhere in the video where you want it to appear just by sliding your finger . Then, at the bottom you can choose when it appears and when it disappears. And ready. Repeat this as many times as little signs you want to appear.
How to create the perfect movie
On TikTok you can apply the magic of cinema. The cuts and editing give rise to telling all kinds of stories and creating all kinds of tricks. Of course, sometimes you have to measure the times very well or plan each action to the millimeter. Although, if you know how to edit the content you can always improve the result in post-production.
All you have to do is record the different cuts without too much worry. That is, looking for the scene to look good. And, when you finish editing, and just before publishing, you can click on the button Adjust video clips, which is above the sound effects in the upper right corner. Here you can cut the length of the different shots of the video to adapt it so that everything is really well synchronized.
How to save Internet data
Why does TikTok load videos so quickly? Well, because it preloads the contents and has them ready when you enter the application. The only problem is that if you spend all day watching this content it's possible that you'll end up with your Internet rate data But there's also a solution.
Go to your profile tab, the one that says Yo, and click on the dots in the upper right corner. Here you can find the Settings menu. Inside there is a list of options among which is Data saving Activating this function will load videos with lower resolution. In other words, the application will download the videos with the worst graphic quality but with less data consumption. It is the best choice if you abuse this app for a long time.
How to use your own audios in a video
One of the most fun points of TikTok is being able to use the resources of other original videos. Its audios or its effects. However, it doesn't mean you can't use your own. Whether it's music, a funny voice recording or whatever something else you have stored on your phone And that's how you can do it.
When recording a TikTok video, you just have to click on the Sounds button in the upper center of the screen. This takes you to the usual menu of music and locutions of the application. However, what we are interested in is clicking in the upper right corner on the tab My sound Here you can choose any audio track that you have saved on your mobile. And from there you can record your video doing lipsync or whatever you want.
Share a GIF type TikTok
The advantage of TikTok is that it is not a closed social network. The contents that we see and that we produce in it can be freely sent and shared through other platforms, be it Instagram or WhatsApp. It even offers several options when it comes to doing this, such as creating a GIF or animation. Very useful to decorate or entertain a WhatsApp chat, for example.
All you have to do is click on the arrow icon to share the content. In the options menu that is displayed you must choose the option GIF This takes you to a new screen to choose the length or scene within the TikTok video that you want share. Although you can select the entire video, if you prefer. When you complete the action, the application will create the content and give you the option to choose which other application you want to send it to: WhatsApp, Instagram, email, etc.
Remove TikTok Watermark
It doesn't bother much, but it can also disappear. We refer to the word TikTok that appears in the bottom corner of each video created with this application. It's always there when sharing a video to another app, but there are several ways to make it disappear.
You can do it through a web page so that it does all the work without downloading anything to your mobile. Just share the TikTok video and click on the Copy link option. With this link we go to the ssstiktok.com page and here we paste the address to the video. Then we select the option without watermark (without watermark) and wait a few seconds for the web to do its magic. After that we can download the modified video without this mark.
You can also get this result through another applicationIt is a free one, available on the Google Play Store. Once you have it installed on your Android mobile, all you have to do is download a TikTok video by clicking on the share button and choosing this option from the menu. Then go to the watermark remover app and load the video you downloaded from TikTok. When you hit the Remove watermark button, the app takes care of the rest, creating a video that disguises or erases the TikTok logo. And ready.
