How to Edit a TikTok Video

In this video, I'll show you how to edit a TikTok video, step by step. When it comes to editing TikTok videos, you have a ton of options. You can use editing software on your computer, you can use mobile editing software, or even hire an editor.
For 99% of people, you don’t need to do any of that. You can edit TikTok videos without using any editing software.
Phone holder, I mentioned in the video: (affiliate link)

For the other 1% of people like me, that make TikTok videos as part of a job or for their business, I’ll make another TikTok editing tutorial.
For everyone else, let’s edit a TikTok video from scratch.
The TikTok app has some powerful editing solutions and once you learn them, you’ll be able to edit professional videos on TikTok, fast and easy.
Let’s get started with the recording process. We can use the app to record any new clips or we can bring in clips from our phone.
The trick with editing good TikTok videos is doing a lot during the recording process. When creating videos on TikTok, you have two pages. The recording page and the editing page.
Both have some powerful editing options and we’ll combine both. And it's that simple to edit videos on TikTok.

You're such a great teacher. I've always found tiktok quite intimidating but you went through it all step by step. I can finally set up my page now. Thanks!

[@lenoreskenazy8595]

Makes me game to jump in and try. Thank you for being so clear and well paced.

[@SoapboxEntTV]

This was extremely helpful! I feel so outdated when I try to make an edit on TikTok 😂 very well done video

[@_.kayyyszn]

Yes, it was! I was so lost, but this video will definitely help me with growing my business.

[@kimberly0717]

Right, that’s why I’m here 😂. I’m ashamed to say my 10 year old son knows how to record, add effects etc but me 🤷🏻‍♀️, now he’s been taken off tic tok.

[@marioarmendariz5076]

Me lol

[@sabzlove9913]

[@emilylitten9372]

Right! Facebook snap and instagram are so easy to use but not this

[@lavanyachamarthi9577]

Omg this was so helpful! I always thought I needed other apps to edit and make my videos good quality, but seeing how powerful Tiktok editing can be, I really feel like I can start my Tiktok journey! And also, the transition part was really helpful! Thank you so much!

[@i.lovecats]

[@ashleycrash8838]

Thank you so much! I’m certified in all programs in the Adobe Creative Suite, I have a degree and am a graphic designer, I can build a basic website with HTML, but for some reason Tik Tok is what I can’t figure out lol!

[@yodo1]

Great video! Thank you so much! I just wanted to ask a quick question please. If you’re doing a montage, and save your video onto your draft. Can you go back and record more clips to add to the previous video save? Or will this reset the whole video? Thank you so much

For the troubled soul who dig to read comments b4 a video, as I do, this was the most well thought explicit and detailed tutorial I have watched. I wish I had found you first, but will now follow you for Instagram tutorial. Merci beaucoup ! Is it possible to ad a short intro GIF intro before or at the end of a recorded video ?

[@johnlewis8934]

You probably can, but you have to record your full video before that unfortunately I believe

How do you add music in only certain parts of the video or clips? Like I want to add some mortal combat lines near the middle of my video or music at the end only.

[@pimpindino]

If I edit the length of the clips made but wanted to add more after I edit, is there an option to do so? I didnt see this in the video. Thank you!

[@TXdoxieluv]

Thank you so much 💓
