If there is a special meme during these days of confinement by COVID-19, it is the dance with the coffin. A royal funeral service from Ghana, Africa, which seeks to bring the dead with the best of festivities to their final resting place. And that in the rest of the world we have also welcomed as a reason for celebration, although for other purposes. Especially to make memes and funny situations that, in general, celebrate stupidity, lack of psychomotor ability or simply the blows, falls and slips of the human being.Because yes, surely you have seen memes of people having all kinds of accidents that end up in the coffin dance. Well, you can create them too.
In this tutorial we are going to teach you how to do it directly on TikTok An application of dance videos, music and a lot of humor that surprises by your editing tools. And it is that, with them, we can create all kinds of video montages without the need for editing knowledge or computer programs. Not even a computer. Any mobile serves us and is enough for this need. All you need is to download TikTok from the Google Play Store or from the App Store and follow the steps below.
Step by Step
In addition to having TikTok installed and updated to the latest version, it is very important that you have in your possession, or in the memory of your mobile, rather, one of those videos with the coffin memeThis way you can use this same resource for your own meme. Any of those videos that will have reached you during these days will suffice. Keep track of it.
The other video you need is the key to this meme. That video of your family member falling in the hallway at home. Or of a politician making the cobra to another. Or any funny situation can do. Remember that the meaning of this meme is to do or suffer something that is wrong and that can lead to death so that it makes all the sense. Counting on these two elements we already have everything we need.
Now we just go to TikTok and press the button + to create our own content. Here, instead of recording a normal video, click on the Load button that appears on the bottom right of the screen.In this way the video gallery of the terminal is displayed. Here we can choose the two videos we want to edit to create the meme: the original video and the video with the coffin dance.
After this a new window opens where we can already see how the two videos look together in one. Of course, this does not mean that they are adjusted at the key moment to create the joke. To do this, click on the Default tab to manually edit the final video. Thus, you can put the video that comes first first and also trim it to the seconds you want to show. You just have to slide the left end of the bar to choose the beginning, and the right end to choose the end, which in this case will be the jump to the coffin video. And the same with this second video. Click on its thumbnail at the bottom of the screen to select it and then crop it by moving the ends to choose the start and end time.And voila, you already have your video practically edited, so click on the Next button to continue.
But the most important thing may be missing: the music If the montage you have created is not complete, you may need the help of the melody of this song that we can all hum thanks to this fashion. To apply it to your video, click on the Sounds option that appears in the lower left corner. Here you will find the melodies that are trending. Use the search engine to find “Funeral Astronomy” and find this work. If, even so, the melody does not fit the climax of the video that you have created, you can click on the Trim button at the top right of the screen and adjust this moment. And ready.
Share the result
Now all that remains is to click on Next for TikTok to take care of creating the final content.In other words, combine the videos and music in a single video that will be ready to publish on your own profile on this social network. Here comes another key moment: do you want to publish the video or do you just want to create it to share it later on WhatsApp or Instagram?
If you don't want to generate content and associate it with your TikTok profile, this social network allows you to post videos privately. That is, so that you and only you can see it. In this way, once created and published you can download it directly to your mobile as a normal video file. Be sure to select the Private option for Who can view this video. And also check the option Save to device to create a copy in your gallery when you click the Publish button.
Now all that remains is for you to go to your mobile gallery and look for the content.You will be able to see it as a normal video. And, precisely for this reason, you can click on the option Share to send it later through any WhatsApp chat, or post it on Instagram, or even send it by email . You can do whatever you like.
Of course, keep in mind that when using TikTok as an editing method, information about your profile will have been added at the end of the video on this social network. The good thing is that, by sharing it on WhatsApp, for example, you can shorten the video and eliminate the last few seconds where such information is displayed. Apart from this, you will see that a TikTok watermark is played in the video. In other words, it reflects where this video came from. It is not something that should matter, but if you are interested you can also remove this mark using some of these methods that we have already told you about in tuexperto.com.
And that's it. You already have all the tools and information to reproduce this meme at will.And not only this one. Now you know how to create any other video edition in a few simple steps. With an application that offers both the way to do it and elements and resources to improve it: sound, filters, transitions, stickers, text…
