Desktop Video EditorsĪ desktop video editor offers far more potential for doing serious video editing work. iPhone users might want to check out iMovie, Splice or Filmmaker Pro Video Editor for iOS.

On Android, popular video editing apps include PowerDirector, Timbre, Vizmato, YouCut, and InShot. However, it might be worth trying them out if they have specific features that you want. They have the disadvantage of not really being all that much more powerful or feature-rich than the built-in TikTok editor. They have the advantage of being convenient and handy. There are a number of video editing apps that are available for your smartphone or tablet. You can return to the unfiltered view of the world by selecting the first filter under the “Portrait” section, labeled “Normal.” These are relatively clean filters that do things like modify the color palette and the image contrast, and they are organized numerically rather than with clever names. The “Filters” button opens TikTok’s library of filters, categorized into “Portrait,” “Life,” and “Vibe” sections. Settings range from 0.1x to 3x, meaning you can make your video play anywhere from 10:1 slow motion to 3:1 fast motion. The “Speed” button lets you change the recording/playback speed of your video. The “Flip” button changes from your front to your rear camera, useful for taking selfie videos. Tap this button before you start recording so that your video can be synchronized with the song or sounds that you select. You cannot upload your own sounds – although there are some workarounds that we’ve covered in this article. You can select a song, search for keywords, look at playlists, etc. The “Add a sound” command brings up the TikTok sound library, which is vast and extensive. The “X” icon cancels your recording and editing session. We’ll be using the Android version of the app for this walkthrough, but the iOS version is very similar.
