If you have come to TikTok because of the confinement, you will soon realize that always recording in the same place can be boring. Or it can limit your creativity a lot. However, this social network has so many tools that you can overcome this difficulty comfortably. You just have to know how to use the filter to place different backgrounds It's not the most realistic thing in the world but we assure you that you can create all kinds of sketches and situations thanks to it. Here we teach you step by step how to use it.
Step by Step
The first thing is to know that all this function is found around one of its filters or effects. In other words, we will have to apply one of them to be able to include a background image as if it were a green chroma like those in the movies If you have never used effects on TikTok , keep reading.
Just press the + button to start normal recording. On this new screen you will see a box in the lower left corner called Effects This is where all of those striking effects that you see on TikTok's are located. others. Click to see all the ones there are, which are not few.
The effects are separated into different categories, divided by tabs so you can easily move through them.Remember that there are not only the ones you see on the screen, you can scroll down to see more within each tab. You have to look for an effect with a icon of a box If it is not among the new or the top ones, you will find it in the effects tab. In our case we have found it towards the middle of the selection. By the way, it is recommended that you click on it and then tap on the flag icon to save it in the favorites tab. In this way you will always have it at hand without getting lost in the huge amount of filters and effects.
Also, keep in mind that you can record this effect from other TikTok videos you come across. If you see that they use a background image and this effect is shown with the icon of a magic wand, click on it to access their page. Here you will see other TikTok who have taken advantage of it and you can save it as a favorite and start using it.
Well, once you have selected it, you will see that a generic background is applied that is very different from that of your environment.You will see that the crop depends on how your front camera detects you. The more quality you offer, the better this cutout will be with respect to the background. Also depends on whether you have good lighting, that your background can be clearly distinguished from your face, that you don't have a complex hairstyle, etc
In addition to starting to apply the effect, a carousel of images is displayed. If you look closely, it will be the one with your most recent photos. In this way you can choose any of them to act as a background. Of course, if the image you want to use is not here, you will have to click on the button + This will open a new window to move through the folders on your mobile that they have images. And so choose the one you need to create your personalized background.
Once you have the background applied you can start recording as normal.And pay attention because you can do it both with the selfie camera and with the rear camera of the terminal if you want better quality. You can also continue using the rest of the TikTok tools: from recording different shots with different backgrounds, to taking advantage of the recording speed, filters to give the scene another look , etc.
In short, an effect that enhances all kinds of situations and that can be very useful for creating new content without constantly repeating spaces. Or to repeat it with the same lighting and scenery, if that's what you prefer.
