This is an extremely popular feature, which allows you to create videos that look as though they are moving in slow motion. Using this feature is very simple, but it does require you to have a good camera and lighting to make it work properly. All you need to do is press the lightning bolt button to activate the feature, and then switch back and forth between the standard and Slo-mo speeds.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Slo-Mo_feature\"><\/span>Slo-Mo feature<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re an iPhone user, you can use the Slo-Mo feature to record videos at slow motion. This feature can be used to make a video duet or entire video. You don&#8217;t need complicated video editing software to create a Slo-Mo video. Make sure everything is set up correctly, with good lighting for your subject. After that, simply upload your video to your TikTok profile.<\/p>\n<p>Once you have your camera and the Slo-Mo feature set up, all that&#8217;s left is to edit your video. Start by searching for the TikTok app on your smartphone. Once you have it open, tap the &#8220;+&#8221; symbol at the bottom of the screen. You&#8217;ll be prompted to use your phone&#8217;s camera. After selecting the camera, you&#8217;ll see the various recording speeds available.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Adding_music\"><\/span>Adding music<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Adding music to your TikTok video is as simple as uploading a regular video. Using the video editing app, you can add background music, captions, and other elements to your video. You can save the draft to edit later, and upload the finished video to TikTok. Adding music to your video will automatically make it longer. Make sure all settings are in order before starting.<\/p>\n<p>You can search for the sound you want to use on YouTube or TikTok. Copy and paste the link to the video into the URL bar of the app. Once you have pasted the link into the URL bar, click on Audio. The Timeline will appear. After adding the music, you can change the volume of the video to suit the song. Once you are satisfied with the volume, save and upload your TikTok video.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Editing\"><\/span>Editing<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you have a short video on TikTok and want to lengthen it, you can edit the clip by changing its length. You can do this in the &#8220;edit clip&#8221; section of the timeline. You can use this feature to add a few CTAs and summarize key ideas in your video. You can also use the text to highlight specific words. You can add multiple lines of text to the video and edit them to match the theme. Just remember to keep your captions short so you don&#8217;t end up with a long paragraph.<\/p>\n<p>There are some limitations to editing a video in TikTok. You can&#8217;t use the &#8220;Ken Burns&#8221; effect or record time-lapses. Therefore, many TikTok users prefer to use an external video editor. Some of these tools require editing skills, but others are easy enough for even a beginner to use. For best results, use an editor that works for you.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Defining_clip_length\"><\/span>Defining clip length<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Defining clip length when making a TikTok video can help you get the best results. There are specific length requirements for your video, which can range anywhere from a second to a minute. While you can adjust the duration of your video in TikTok, the controls are not always intuitive. Trim your video in the app or from your phone&#8217;s library. Then, upload it to TikTok and enjoy the results.<\/p>\n<p>When creating a TikTok video, it&#8217;s important to understand that there&#8217;s a time limit of fifteen seconds. While you may be able to edit the clip length based on the time you have, you need to remember that your video won&#8217;t be longer than this. To make sure you get the perfect result, you should use a time-based editing program to view individual frames. Besides, don&#8217;t forget to check the quality of your original video. Don&#8217;t use a low-frame-rate video, or a low-resolution video, which will make your video look grainy and fuzzy.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe width=\"414\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Na_rBpq9vW4\" height=\"231\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Make a TikTok Video Longer If you want to make your TikTok video longer, you can add slo-mo to it.
