In 2022, if you don’t find ways to enhance your videos, they probably won’t get watched. That is because everyone on social networks have become professional video editors, thanks to the variety of filters and effects that can be found on these apps. On TikTok, the way to create originally, and be viewed more, is certainly to use them both on your videos. Here is what you need to know, if you wish to add flair to your posts.
As Many Effects and Filters as you can ever desire
The truth is, there are so many effects and filters on TikTok, that it will take you a while to try them all. However, once you do so (or at least tried a few), you should know that there is an important element to keep in mind when using TikTok filters: You want to stick to one or only a few, so that people can recognize your videos easily. Although you may think it is fun to change all the time, it is not the best way to get followers and to keep them viewing your creations, afterwards. Stability is key, and it is true about filters on TikTok, as well.
How to go about adding Filters to Your TikTok Videos
Filters are the first thing you should play around with. You will find them on the top right side of the screen, when you are in a “Create” mode. So, once you have started the app, jump into this mode right away, which you can enter at the bottom of the screen, right in the centre space. Once you have located the filter tab, click on it and a menu will appear, this time at the bottom of your screen. You can now take a look at all the options you have, by swiping. If you are looking for something more precise, in one of the categories, just click on the tab instead of swiping, and you will see the various options, including Portrait and Landscape.
Now that you have found the filter that you want, and you have selected it, you can choose its intensity, by sliding the grader to the left (less intense) or to the right (more intense). Do so until you have found the right one for you, and start recording your video. If you want to close the filter, just click on the “Stop” icon, on the left side.
How to go about adding Effects to Your TikTok Videos
Once TikTok is on, click on the “Record” button, at the bottom. Once that is done, you can now tap on the “Effect” button, also at the bottom of the screen. To choose the effect that you would like to use, first choose the category you want, by swiping left or right. There is more than a dozen, such as green screen, music and animals. Inside them, you will often have up to 50 different elements to choose from. Once you click on one, it can be used automatically, for the most part, while some will require additional inputs on your side.
