There is a fun format on TikTok to create collaborations or duos It basically consists of using an already published video and creating a kind of joint reaction or situation. Something that you will have seen on several occasions to create that meme in which a group of people proudly applaud a situation. The original video is the applause video, and thanks to this feature, you can create the second video as you like and have both look side by side on your TikTok.The possibilities are almost endless, it just depends on your creativity and that you know how to handle this function.
Creating Duo
The key is in the duet function, which is somewhat hidden within the application. Of course, all this arises from a TikTok that you see on your wall and from which you want to create your own accompanied version. Thus, the main will be to find that video or take advantage of a trend with one that is already being the sensation these days
The next step is to click on the arrow to share the TikTok in question. The difference is that we are not going to share it, but to decorate it with our own content. Among all the available options is Duo, and it is the one we must press to continue with what we want to create.
The process forces us to download the original video and process it to start creating our own video together. This will take several seconds of our time. But TikTok does everything automatically, so we just have to wait until the percentage reaches 100 and we have the following screen available to start creating.
Now we will see our camera on the left half of the video and the original video on the right half. We are facing the usual recording screen, with the large red button, but also with the effect tools, recording speed, etc. It's time to record our part of the video, being able to have the original video as a reference in case we want to synchronize and create a new and meaningful situation. So we can press the red button to start recording. This plays the original video at the same time, helping us to keep everything balanced and to have a clear reference of each moment.
TikTok allows us to continue using all its artistic resources in this Duo format. In other words, we can record different takes just by taking our finger off the record button. Something that will help us create a more complex video. But it is not the only thing. We also have the effects to apply masks or special filters to our portion of the video. Or even the recording speed to make parts (or whole) faster or slower. In other words, we have all the usual TikTok options to produce this video.
Once we have recorded everything we want, we can click on the red tick at the bottom right of the screen. From here we can confirm the action and go to a new screen to see the final resultHere you can see if everything is to your liking before publishing.
Also, at this point, you'll be able to apply effects, filters, stickers, and even text. Other of the artistic resources of TikTok that are still available in this video format. You just have to click on the element and choose the available options.
And ready. As soon as you click on the Next button you will find the usual publication screen, where you can add the description of the TikTok, the hashtags or labels and the mentions. Of course, keep in mind that, when using an original resource, the video will be marked as such. In addition, automatically mentions the original account, although you can delete this mention in the video description box.
