You can also add another sound and change the length of an existing one. To do this, you must first add the sound to your video. To do this, tap the &#8216;+&#8217; button on the bottom of the screen and then tap &#8216;Add sound&#8217; at the top. Next to the sound, you should see a scissors icon. Tap this icon to access TikTok&#8217;s sound trimming tool.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Editing_a_tiktok_sound\"><\/span>Editing a tiktok sound<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re wondering how to edit a TikTok sound, you&#8217;re not alone. There are millions of users wondering just that. You&#8217;ll find that by learning how to edit a TikTok sound, you can create a more professional-looking post, as well as one that goes viral. We&#8217;ll discuss how to add music or specific audio and adjust the volume of both the original sound and the new sound you&#8217;ve added.<\/p>\n<p>To edit a TikTok sound, you must first add a sound to the video. To do this, tap the &#8216;+&#8217; button at the bottom of the screen. From there, select the audio file you want to edit. Next, tap the scissors icon next to the sound. This will bring up the sound trimming tool. You can now crop the sound to make it shorter or longer. If the sound is too long, you can add up to 15 seconds to make it shorter.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Adding_a_new_sound\"><\/span>Adding a new sound<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Adding a new sound to your video can help add more depth and variety to your content. Unlike other video-sharing apps, you don&#8217;t have to upload your own sound to TikTok. Instead, you can upload your own sound to the app, edit the title of the sound, and use it in any video. You can also upload a file of your own to TikTok so that other users can hear it.<\/p>\n<p>When creating a TikTok video, you can choose to include any sound you like. You can also choose to use a TikTok library song, which you can add before recording, or after you&#8217;ve finished editing. This will provide a cue when filming. If you want to add more than one sound, you can change it in the video editor. However, you can only add one Added Sound to a video.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Adding_a_song\"><\/span>Adding a song<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You can add a song to your video by clicking on the &#8220;Sounds&#8221; menu in TikTok. You can also search for the song you want and use the &#8220;Genre&#8221; filter to find it. You can also edit the length of the music track. Once you have chosen a song, click the &#8220;Trim&#8221; icon and drag it to where you want it to start. When you are finished trimming the song, you can click on &#8220;Done.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>You can also use the &#8220;Clip Start Time&#8221; option to select a particular section of the song that you want to use. The sound will last for 30 seconds, so it&#8217;s best to pick a section that fits the length of your video. Adding a song to a TikTok video can be an interesting way to engage your audience and create fun trends and challenges.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Changing_a_songs_length\"><\/span>Changing a song&#8217;s length<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you have ever wondered how to change the length of a TikTok song, you are not alone. In fact, changing the length of a TikTok song is one of the most frequently asked questions in the TikTok app. This short video sharing application has become an integral part of the lives of many teens and adults. While the app is incredibly fun to use, it also has some limitations that are worth knowing about.<\/p>\n<p>Changing a TikTok song&#8217;s length is a relatively simple process. The first step is to tap on the track&#8217;s editing menu. Once there, tap on the &#8220;Edit&#8221; option on the toolbar above. The next step is to select the appropriate sound and adjust the length. You can adjust the length of a song by choosing the start and end points of the song clip.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Adding_an_effect\"><\/span>Adding an effect<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Adding an effect to a TikTok sound will add the right kind of ambience to your video. You can choose from thousands of sound effects and voice samples to add to your video. Sometimes you might find it difficult to find the perfect sound for your video, especially if you&#8217;d like to provide commentary or describe the scene. Luckily, there are plenty of sound effects you can use on TikTok.<\/p>\n<p>Using TikTok&#8217;s voice effects feature is very simple. Once you&#8217;ve recorded your video, simply select the check icon on the lower right corner and select &#8220;Voice Effects&#8221;. Then, choose the sound effect that you&#8217;d like to add. Once you&#8217;ve decided what you&#8217;d like, select &#8220;Next.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Adding_a_filter\"><\/span>Adding a filter<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You can trim a TikTok sound easily with the help of the filters and effects. To do this, you can press on the scissors symbol at the beginning of the video and drag the sound wave to adjust its length. Once you&#8217;ve trimmed the sound, you can add effects, stickers, and text to the video. Depending on the length of your sound, you may want to adjust the volume.<\/p>\n<p>Once you have chosen a background image or audio file, you can begin customising the video. TikTok lets you add a variety of sound effects and audio clips. For example, you can add a happy birthday chant or a famous movie clip or TV show scene. You can also use a sound effect from a famous movie to add to your video. Depending on what you&#8217;re trying to accomplish, you can even record your original sound to make the video more exciting.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/dHSv0FOkD9Y\" width=\"373\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"208\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Trim a TikTok Sound If you want to add a new song or sound to your video, you can easily trim the sound by following the steps below.
