While you could download one of a plethora of third-party editing apps on your smartphone, the best solution is to move to a desktop to create and edit your videos – aside from being more capable than mobile alternatives, you’ll also be able to record videos using your phone’s main camera app, allowing you to use any rear-facing and, if you’ve got an Android, video quality will be greatly improved too. TikTok knows this, including a range of basic editing tools and filters to give your videos a unique look, but as the platform grows and viewership increases, it’s likely that you’ll want to look beyond the basic in-app editing tools – but what are you to do in that situation? Offering a curated feed of user-created videos ranging from the informative to the funny and, let’s be honest, the outright weird at times, it’s an engaging platform that gives those with a flair for video a platform to showcase their work. TikTok is the app right now, and it’s not hard to see why.
