Do you usually use filters in your TikTok videos? You know, those that you just have to slide your finger to make the image change color, turn black and white, or simply enhance your skin tone or the light with which the video is recorded. Well, this function has the occasional little-known extra addition, such as using two at the same time. Something very useful to give your videos their own, unique look with personality. The trick? Use two filters at the same time.How to do it? Simple, follow our steps.
Start recording a video and choose a filter
TikTok filters are available from before you hit the record button. You can quickly find them in the filters icon at the top right. With a circles icon. You will see that the collection is quite extensive, being able to find special filters for different skin tones, or to get a better look on stage, or even for food.
Another much faster option to apply these filters directly to the scene before recording is to swipe left or right. In this way, in carousel mode, the filters will go through one by one to show a previous aspect of the image that you are going to record. Well, here is the first part of the trick.
Choose which filter you want to apply to the entire screen or to a vertical section.When moving from one to the other like a carousel, you will only be able to do so in this vertical format. You can choose a first general filter for everything or directly show a part of the image with one filter and another with another.
The trick here is that you should slide your finger calmly, without separating it from the screen. With this you will be able to regulate up to what point of the screen you want to apply this filter and what part to leave without it. When you have it, hold your finger in that position and press the record button once.
This will not start recording, but the filter will remain anchored at that point.
Record your TikTok
Now it's time to record the video as usual. To do this, as always, you will have to press the record button. You can do it hands-free or timer or simply by clicking on the button to start recording.
As in any TikTok video, with or without filters, you can record different takes to create a more complete and complex video. There is no problem when doing this even if you are taking advantage of the double filter trick. In fact, it can be very useful when creating scenarios or skits.
Apply a new filter on top
Now that you have recorded your TikTok video with this curious effect, you should know that you can improve it even more. So, once you're done and go to the edit screen, you can apply a new filter over the whole scene. That is, a filter that is added to the two that you have used in the recording (left part and right part). Something that will allow you to reproduce unique colors that no other TikTok user has used for their videos.
Once you decide which filter to apply and have done all the pertinent tweaks to your video, all that remains is for you to publish it as usual. Choose a description, tags and mentions and post for the rest of the followers and TikTok users to enjoy this unique creation.
This trick has the limitation of the vertical format. But you just have to test your creativity to take advantage of it in different situations. The most attractive thing is that you choose a black and white filter and a color one to create two different scenes in the same shot. But the possibilities are almost limitless.
