Have you noticed that some Tiktok videos have better quality than others, and are you struggling with the lighting in some of your TikTok’s? No need to fear the millions of social media editing apps are here and readily accessible to boot for anyone of all ages. The Top editing apps I would recommend for beginners would be I-movie, Video leap, and Cap cut.
Beginners notice the problem long before they start to think of downloading editing apps but they believe that the editing tools in TikTok alone would help. However, Tiktok main purpose is to entertain not to edit or make our video’s look brand new so it is up to us to make a FYP worthy Tiktok. Besides most of the features on TikTok are filters and the only people who use filters are kids 2 to 6 or crazy Facebook moms that want to feel young and cool again.
I Movie
Let’s start from easy to more complex, the most basic editing app out of the three has to be none other than I-Movie.
On I-Movie’s main page press the add button to add in videos of your choosing when finished you can click on the video to see editing options. There is a scissors sign for cutting your videos, a dial sign to adjust the speed of your video, a volume sign for volume, and a letter T to add text to your videos.
The tools are very easy to understand since most of the tools use a dial from low to high for any minor adjustments. For finishing touches, you can add filters or change the color of your videos to give them an eye-popping look to catch the eye of people when you upload your videos to TikTok.
The second is Video leap this app is basic but has a wide variety of editing options to choose from. In video leap, you can add stickers to your videos or add another video on top of your existing video to blend them both into one single video
Video Leap is widely known for its audio enhancing software providing quality pitch sounds in your videos. One of my favorite sound editing options is the “Rock option” making the video reach extreme levels of noise and the bass amplifier option booting the bass.
Lastly is Capcut This is one of my all-time favorite editing apps and it’s the current one I use currently. Tiktok is based around sound and with cap cut, you can make your sound and add into the mix of your videos.
When first opening the app, you will be directed to a large square button that says “new project”, click on “new project”, and import your videos. Once you’ve imported your videos you have a far vaster editing option than in video leap. This may require a little bit of YouTube tutorials or step by step guides to fully understand its operation.
The main feature that gives Capcut the title for one of the best editing apps is the fact that it provides video overlays for free to anyone who uses the app. The video can range from a magical butterfly hovering around your video to a glowing light that radiates from the bottom of your video.
Capcut is a must-have if you are in the middle of being a beginner to spending at least a year on Tiktok or any social media platform beginning your journey to creating original content.
