The answer varies depending on the device and the software you use, but generally, it&#8217;s not a big deal. You can upload videos in either portrait or landscape orientation. If you&#8217;re uploading a video and recording your voice, you can use either option. In this article, you&#8217;ll learn about the differences between these two formats. In the meantime, you can make the most of the TikTok app without having to learn how to make your video horizontal or vertical.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"TikTok_supports_both_portrait_and_landscape_videos\"><\/span>TikTok supports both portrait and landscape videos<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You may not be aware of this, but TikTok supports both landscape and portrait videos. Although TikTok is designed to be used on smartphones, the landscape mode takes up less screen space and isn&#8217;t ideal for watching videos. The same is true for the iPad, where landscape videos take up less screen space and make it harder to watch the video. The best way to change the orientation of a video on TikTok is to use the crop feature. Alternatively, you can click the Rotate icon in the Google Photos app.<\/p>\n<p>The problem with composing a video on TikTok is that the app only supports a maximum 60 seconds. However, many creators have noticed that they are unable to record videos longer than this because of the pause after recording, creating, and publishing. The problem lies with the file size of MOV videos. This results in a lot of wasted time and energy. Fortunately, the app lets you trim unwanted content from your videos.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to post a TikTok video in either landscape or portrait mode, you must first record it in landscape mode. Then, crop the video to fit into the picture. To crop a landscape video, go to the Tools menu and select the video effects and filters you want to use. In the popup menu, tap on the Video Effects tab. On the Geometry tab, you should check or uncheck the Transform box.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"You_can_upload_videos_in_either_format\"><\/span>You can upload videos in either format<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>YouTube has made it easy to upload videos to their website. To get started, you must create an account. You can sign in with your Google account, or use an existing one. If you have an existing account with YouTube, you can log in with that as well. You will then need to complete the basic set-up, including creating a profile image and banner. These basic steps will make your YouTube channel look complete and establish credibility for your uploaded videos.<\/p>\n<p>If you are using a laptop, you can also upload videos to YouTube in the format that YouTube recommends. If you&#8217;re uploading a video file from your computer, you&#8217;ll need to select an appropriate format for the platform. MP4 is the most common format, though WMV and AVI are also supported. YouTube&#8217;s video editor also lets you edit your video, including adding effects, improving the contrast, and adding an audio track.<\/p>\n<p>Creating a descriptive video title is an essential step for making it search-friendly. Make sure to create a descriptive title for your video, ideally seven to ten words long. Make sure to use keywords that are relevant and descriptive. Remember that single words are more effective than full sentences, so don&#8217;t be afraid to use short phrases. Make your video stand out among millions of other videos online and make your video visible!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"You_can_record_your_voice_in_either_format\"><\/span>You can record your voice in either format<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The TikTok app has a voice recording feature, so you can add your voice over music. You can upload your own audio, or use one from your library. When recording a voiceover, you can use the tool to adjust the volume of existent audio. You can set the Original Sound slider bar to 0 to silence all the original sound, or set the Added Sound slider bar to adjust the volume of the added audio. However, you can&#8217;t adjust the intensity of the recorded audio.<\/p>\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve uploaded your video, you can add a voice over to the video. To do this, you can upload your audio file or record it in real-time. Alternatively, you can use the automated text to speech feature to convert written text into spoken words. There are several different voiceover options on the platform. InVideo, for instance, allows you to trim, duplicate, and even loop the voiceover.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe height=\"294\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" width=\"526\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/UKKaEdhKmbM\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Why is My TikTok Horizontal?
