Remember that one friend who said they’ll never get a TikTok? They probably have an account now.
Amid the coronavirus pandemic, people all over the world have found solace in TikTok. Many of them are posting funny videos, while others are doing their best rendition of a popular dance challenge (e.g. Doja Cat’s “Say So”). It truly is the Vine of this generation and we’re not complaining.
If you’ve had an account for a while, you’re probably thinking of ways on how you can make your TikToks better. Lucky for you, there are actually apps that will not only help you splice your videos, but also add stickers, text and other fun visual effects.
Make space in your phone for the following apps:
Timbre
Timbre makes it easier for TikTokers to string together multiple video and audio files. This makes it easier for those who want to try making one-minute skits on TikTok. Available on Google Play.
Glitchy
Add a touch of nostalgia to your TikTok videos using Glitchy. This app has a collection of filters to give videos a vintage feel—there’s even a filter that makes videos look like VHS footage. Available on Google Play and App Store.
