How to insert an image in a TikTok video? Click on the "+" on the right side, click on "Upload", select up to 12 photos / videos, click on "Next", add music and special effects, and then publish the content. Alternatively, use the built-in photo sticker tool, scan to background, custom background, and more. Special applications are also available, such as VidTrim. Below we will look at all the ways to insert a photo into TikTok content, what you need to do for this, and what are the features..
Built-in TikTok features
First, let's look at how to insert a photo into a video in TikTok using the built-in features.
Adding video / photo
The easiest way to add a picture to a video is to use the standard method:
- Sign in to messenger.
- Click on the Plus button.
- Select a video clip and pictures (photos) from the list in the order in which they should be placed. You can pre-make the desired “cutting” to obtain the desired effect.
- Click "Next".
- Add music and make corrections taking into account the available TikTok features.
- Click "Next", add effects, enter texts and install the desired stickers.
- Place a suitable video and make sure everything is done correctly.
effects
To insert an image (photo, picture), you can use the built-in effects. Their selection on TikTok is huge, but not many options are used to add videos. To enter the list, click on the "+" symbol, and then on "Effects" on the left side..
Here you can use the following options:
- Custom background. It has the form of a photo with a down arrow. Allows you to insert an image into the video as a background.
- Scan on photo. Allows you to upload a photo to achieve the scanning effect.
- Photo sticker. The tool is easily recognizable by the symbol of a man with a waving hand and a small image, which is located on the left side. With it, you can insert an image into the video content, and then reduce the size to the desired level.
Also keep an eye out for new effects that appear in the "New" section. Perhaps a tool has recently been created that allows you to add two or more photos to a TikTok video.
Third party software
If the built-in capabilities are not suitable, you can use special applications. They have advanced functionality, but require downloading from the Google Play store. A feature of the programs is the preparation of a video with pictures with the subsequent addition to TikTok. The most popular software is:
- VidTrim . Available for download at play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.goseet.VidTrim&hl=uk&gl=US.
