- Creating a Video Slideshow
- Open TikTok on your tablet or phone.
- Select ‘+’ which is the biggest button at the bottom of your screen.
- Select the ‘upload’ button. This is the square that will be on your screen at the bottom right. This is going to display the ‘videos’ tab, so that you can see your videos on your tablet or phone.
- Choose the videos that you want to add in the order that you want to add them. Select the circle at the top right of your video. Ensure that you select each video that you want to add in the order that you want them to show up in your slideshow. The good news is that even though you’re making a video slideshow, you can still include photos. Select the ‘image’ tab to open your images, and then choose any photo you want to add.
- Select the ‘next’ button. This is at the bottom of the screen to the right. This will show you a preview of your slideshow.
- Choose a soundtrack. This is optional, but if you want to include music in the background of your slideshow, you will need to select ‘sound sync’. You will be able to find this under the preview. You can select ‘more’ to search for something that you are looking for specifically.
- Crop your videos. This is also optional. This lets you adjust the length of your video. To do this, select ‘default’ under the preview, and then select the thumbnail at the bottom of the screen. Once you’ve done this, drag the red bars that you will see on either side of the clip to get the video length that you want. You can do this for each clip that you want to edit.
- Select ‘next’ to continue. This is the red button that is at the top of your screen to the right. This will put the clips together in one cohesive slideshow.
- Add effects and stickers, which is optional. Once you have done this, select ‘next’.
- Choose your posting preferences and select ‘post’. This is where you can add a caption, adjust who can view your slideshow, and decide whether to have comments on or off. Once you’ve done this, you can select the red ‘post’ button at the bottom of your screen to the right, and your slideshow will be published.
