Publishing on TikTok can be exhilarating, but exhausting. You might need 12 takes to get it right. Or you might need to watch an hour-long video to find the one TikTok-able moment. Descript’s script editing tools make it easy. Shoot as many takes as you need — just keep the camera rolling — or quickly search your transcript for the key moments, then clip it, add text, and upload in a few clicks.
Descript’s video editing app makes it easy to convert your video’s aspect ratio to TikTok-friendly vertical format for iPhone or Android. Plus you can quickly add visual effects like animated text, slow motion, keyframe animation, and transitions to your video.
After starting a new project, upload your video files and any tracks from your music library you want to include.
If you’re starting a new video from an existing project, you can select the clip you want to convert, right-click and select “View Media,” then click on “Create Composition from file” on the right-hand panel. Now you have a new Composition for your TikTok video — and you can edit it without changing the original.
Have fun editing your TikTok video with Descript’s editing features like keyframe animation and Fancy Captions.
To convert your video’s aspect ratio for the TikTok app, click the video settings button on the top right corner of the playback window and select the portrait orientation. You can resize (and even stretch) your video to match the new frame by dragging the pink border.
Done. You can now export your video and share it to TikTok, Instagram Reels, or YouTube shorts.
