After the Chinese company ByteDance created Douyin, what we know today as TikTok, this application has had a series of updates, with which its owners bet on continuous improvements. The most recent of these innovations was implemented to think about the well-being of users, and among those used to upload horizontal videos to the platform without losing the format.
TikTok allows it without losing the format
TikTok is the trendy application for all those who are looking for entertainment on the web. There are many who visit it every day in search of the latest updates from their favorite creators, and they do so in a vertical format, the same way they hold their phone. But what many do not know is that you can upload a horizontal video on TikTok, something that we are going to show you below.
In this sense, this app that only started as an application where teenagers could share short videos with other users, has become one of the most used applications today by many users of different ages.
Likewise, in it you can share both videos recorded directly from the application and upload videos that are in our gallery. And that is what we are going to refer to for those that are horizontal videos… with everything seen to maintain the format without losing an iota of quality.
How can we do it
It should be noted that Instagram already has a similar feature, in order to help manage usage time. Recently TikTok had also released a function that allows you to avoid comments that you consider irrelevant or inappropriate. That is why this use that we have will be so interesting for everyone.
Currently there are many users who visit this platform where they view videos that are recorded vertically, since it is the format established by the application. This is due to the way users hold the phone and that is why TikTok only allows recording vertically. However; what many do not know is that there is the possibility of uploading videos to TikTok horizontally.
To do this, it will suffice to edit it previously. Luckily, today’s smartphones have a simple video editor that will cost you nothing to use when flipping audio visual content. In this way, the file will occupy the entire length of the screen, which would be the full width in the horizontal position. Once this is done, you will only have to upload the videos to TikTok as you have always done, with their labels so that they can be seen in the For you section.
Also, one of the things you can implement to get videos on TikTok in horizontal format is to make use of the effects option that is available in the application itself. In this option we can look for the effect of Two divided screens , which we will have to use to start recording a video in horizontal format.
You can use external video editors
As we say, the best (and easiest) way to make and upload a horizontal video to TikTok is through the editors that we have on our own phone. But it is also true that, although our smartphone may not contain everything we need, we can also do this in a great way with some other external editors.
There are many applications that have this purpose, such as InShot video editor, YouCut, VideoShow, CapCut and others. All these mentioned applications will be of great help to be able to place a video in horizontal format and that when uploading it to TikTok it is maintained. Once the improvements have been made and the video placed in the position you want, you only have to export it and upload it to the platform from your computer or smartphone.
