TikTok has become an extremely popular video-making app. Its main advantage is that you can convey enough information in a short video to make it interesting to the person watching your video. The app has a built-in video editor that makes it easier and faster to edit your creative video. One of TikTok’s standout features is the length limit. Videos posted to TikTok can be from one second to one minute in length, and the app gives users precise control over the length of their videos. However, these controls aren’t always easy to use or understand.
So, here is how to crop a TikTok video.
How to crop a TikTok video using InShot
Unfortunately, you won’t be able to trim the video size in the app itself, so let’s look at how to do it on your phone before moving on to changing the video length. Since each phone’s camera capabilities and sizes are slightly different, one of the best things you can do is download the InShot video editor app on iOS or Android to standardize the process.
So, if you want to crop a TikTok video using the InShot app, you have to follow these steps:
- First of all, open the InShot app on your smartphone.
- Then, choose the type of the content you want to edit. In your case, it is “Video”.
- After that, upload a video from your smartphone’s library.
- Once you have uploaded the video, tap “Select” and a set of editing tools will appear.
- Choose the “Canvas” tool.
- At the bottom of the “Canvas” options, you will see different aspect ratios for different social platforms. Select the ratio for TikTok – 9:16.
- Finally, edit youe video as you want and tap the export button in the top right corner of the screen.
Once you have completed these steps, you can upload your video to TikTok.
