How to Create and Edit TikTok Videos for Beginners. With the rise in popularity of the TikTok social media platform, many people are starting to open accounts. Although TikTok started with a younger user base, more people of all ages have started using it. If you are just starting to use the platform, it might seem a bit confusing at first.

TikTok's main focus is on short videos, usually with music playing in the background. It can be relatively easy to show and interact with your videos on TikTok, but making good videos is essential for getting lots of views, likes and comments.

To do this, it is important to know how to make videos on TikTok. This article will look at the basic process of capturing and editing your video and the tools available for use in TikTok, as well as some tips for making your videos great.

Video recording for TikTok

The first thing you need to do is record the video you want to use.

Record the video on TikTok

There are a few ways to do this. The first option is to register directly in TikTok.

At the bottom of the app, tap the plus icon in the center of the navigation bar.
The camera will open. If this is your first time opening it, you will need to allow TikTok to use the camera and microphone.
If you want to add music / sound, be sure to tap the button Add sound at the top and search or choose audio before starting recording.
To record, choose the length of the entire video, then tap the red record button.
At the top of the screen, you will see a blue bar showing how much time you have recorded and how much video time you have left in gray.
You can tap the red stop button to pause the recording at any time. TikTok will save the recording until then and you can press the record button again to continue recording the same video.
If you want to delete the last video segment you took, you can tap the white x icon next to the record button, then tap Delete.
Once you have the video you want, select the red check icon to move to the editing screen.

Record video with the Camera app

The other option is to record videos outside of TikTok, for example on your smartphone's camera app, and import them into TikTok in this way.

Tap the plus icon in the center of the navigation bar.
Once the camera opens, look to the right of the red record button and choose a labeled image icon Charge.
