TikTok has unveiled new tools for generating and editing content, including Photo Mode (nicknamed “Photo Mode”), a feature akin to Instagram that lets you share image carousels in the mobile app.
The vertical formatted videos are the key component of the Chinese platform run by ByteDance. With music and effects, such as filters or augmented reality (AR) elements, users can create, edit, and publish them.
This site, unlike its primary rival Instagram, does not permit the creation of static publications, i.e., with single photographs or photo carousels with text.
According to what he said on his blog, TikTok has now introduced new, improved video editing tools and an image publication format that are accessible in the US and most other countries.
According to the business, there will be an ability to alter sound and video clips, add photo or image overlays, position superimposed text and control its length on the screen.
In addition to these developments, users now have the option to add sound effects, change the contents of the box containing individual clips (such as rotating it or zooming in or out), and change the speed at which the video plays.
On the other hand, TikTok has unveiled a brand-new image carousel style for its mobile version called Photo Mode (‘Photo Mode’), to which you may also add music.
Additionally, the company has revealed that you can currently add longer descriptions to your films, which can now have texts of up to 2,200 characters; a feature also accessible in photo mode.
While the firm hopes to provide “another area to be able to express and connect with others” with the image carousels, these functionalities will give producers a new opportunity to contextualize their movies.
Finally, he emphasized that will keep developing experiences that allow users to produce content using films, photographs, text, or live videos.
