(FYI, you can take an up-close look at the app as a whole and how it relates to the future of video content right here.) It makes total sense that it&#8217;s the most popular website and application globally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, how does <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shutterstock.com\/blog\/guide-to-tiktok\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">TikTok<\/a> work? What&#8217;s the interface like once you&#8217;ve downloaded the app and recorded your first video? After a few years of updates, we&#8217;ve tried to come back into this article to keep all the information as up-to-date as possible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, let&#8217;s take a look at what you can expect to see, learn how to get the most out of the app&#8217;s features and effects, and explore what to do with your videos once you&#8217;ve shot them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"1-basic-cutting\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">1.

You can start and stop recording as you go, and the app automatically adds clips to your timeline as you shoot them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can hit the red <strong>Record<\/strong> button once and let it roll, or hold and release to record a specific length. Once you&#8217;ve recorded all your clips, you can still go in and edit them further. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UC4p2nJb-8j9IjVOhrlTUmWw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Rachel Pederson<\/a> going over all the essential functions of TikTok and explaining what to do once you&#8217;ve recorded a video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vI7SBGxln3g?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>To start editing your footage, go to <strong>Adjust Clips<\/strong> on the right side of your screen and pick the clips you want to tweak.

Once you&#8217;ve picked a song, you can choose where you want it to start and play it as you record to better sync your shots with it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, you can add a voiceover and sound effects. (We&#8217;ll take a closer look at sound effects in a moment.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Currently, you can only add one song per video inside the app. Of course, you can always edit in other apps, add whatever you want, and then upload to TikTok.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/TikTok-3.jpg\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"755\" height=\"809\" src=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/TikTok-3.jpg\" alt=\"Screenshot of audio adjustment in TikTok\" class=\"wp-image-165057\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/TikTok-3.jpg 755w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/TikTok-3.jpg?resize=280,300 280w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/TikTok-3.jpg?resize=277,297 277w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/TikTok-3.jpg?resize=359,385 359w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/TikTok-3.jpg?resize=543,582 543w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/TikTok-3.jpg?resize=560,600 560w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/TikTok-3.jpg?resize=150,161 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 755px) 100vw, 755px\" \/><\/a><figcaption><em>Choose the music and sync it with your video.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>With all of this audio stuff in mind, I feel like one of the handiest features of TikTok is how it lets you work with multiple audio layers in a video. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For instance, you have your recorded clip with in-camera audio, music, sound effects, and anything else you&#8217;ve added.

There are two ways to apply them\u2014before and after you record. Once you have your video recorded, you can speed it up, reverse it, and add filters, including interactive AR filters as you see on Instagram and Snapchat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the most part, though, the &#8220;Filter&#8221; option is your standard filter that gets applied on top of your footage to make it look atmospheric in a certain way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To apply an effect <em>while<\/em> you record, tap the <strong>Wink<\/strong> face icon next to the red <strong>Record<\/strong> button. This brings up a ton of different effects to choose from. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As of right now, you can only apply one effect at a time. Which is to say, while you can add multiple effects <em>throughout<\/em> your video, you can&#8217;t stack two effects on top of each other. One effect must end <em>before<\/em> you can add another one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are a few other effects you can choose while you record and then after you record the clip, and a brief look at what these effects do:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Before recording:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Flip:<\/strong> This just flips the camera from the front facing to selfie mode. <\/li><li><strong>Speed:<\/strong> Choose the <strong>Speed<\/strong> option on the far right side of the screen while you record. You can record in slo-mo (0.3x, 0.5x) or speed things up (2x, 3x).<\/li><li><strong>Enhance:<\/strong> Choose <strong>Enhance <\/strong>on the far-right side of the screen while you record. This provides a small amount of face smoothing, adding a slightly polished look to the person featured in the video. Basically, this just smooths out the image, &#8220;removing&#8221; blemishes and just generally makes the image feel more . . . dreamy?<\/li><li><strong>Filters:<\/strong>&nbsp;Choose <strong>Filters<\/strong> on the far-right side of the screen to apply preset looks to your shot. There are lots to choose from, so be sure to poke around before you settle on one.<\/li><li><strong>Voice-over:<\/strong> Choosing this option allows you to record the sound of your voice so you can narrate the TikTok.<\/li><li><strong>Timer:<\/strong> This option allows you the ability to set a count down to record (you can hit this button then set your phone down on the ground before you record), as well as set how long you will be recording for. <\/li><li><strong>Reply:<\/strong> This option allows you to answer a question that&#8217;s been asked by followers. It places the question on the screen so people can see what question you&#8217;re answering as soon as your video pops up on their feed. <\/li><li><strong>Flash:<\/strong> This just runs the flash for the entire time you record. This option is meant for darker recording scenarios.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>After recording:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Filters:<\/strong>&nbsp;Choose <strong>Filters<\/strong> on the far-right side of the screen to apply preset looks to your shot. Some of the options available are: Normal, Original, Sunny, Vitality, Warmth, Island, Vlog, Dim, Peach, Pink, Movie, Youth, etc. There are lots to choose from, so be sure to poke around before you settle on one.<\/li><li><strong>Adjust clips:<\/strong> This is where you will &#8220;edit&#8221; your video.<\/li><li><strong>Voice effects:<\/strong> These effects can be applied to whatever audio you have recorded in your video. The effects range from Cat, Flute, Chipmunk, Baritone, Megaphone, Robot, Low Battery, Vibratro, Electronic, Echo, Synth, Helium, or Giant.<\/li><li><strong>Voice-over:<\/strong> This allows you to record narration over your footage. <\/li><li><strong>Captions:<\/strong> This will auto-populate captions to lay over your footage. Sometimes these aren&#8217;t entirely accurate as it&#8217;s reading the voices that it hears and can&#8217;t be too reliable, depending on the sound quality of the recording. <\/li><li><strong>Enhance:<\/strong> Just like above ^^.<\/li><li><strong>Noise reducer: <\/strong>This option &#8220;attempts&#8221; to lower the background noise to smooth out the audio. In my opinion, this option doesn&#8217;t work well so be aware, it might not sound like you want it to. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"7-export-publish\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">7.
