-
Record a video of yourself talking and open it in TikTok. Either record your video using your phone’s camera app, then open it in TikTok using the “+” icon at the bottom of the app, or record it right in TikTok . Once you have the video loaded, press the playback ribbon icon on the right toolbar to open the playback settings.
-
Select “Speed” then “Curve” and “Custom.” Once you’re in the playback settings, you’ll see a menu of different editing options. Find the “Speed” option, which looks like a timer. Then, in the speed menu, tap “Curve” to edit the speed of the video on a curve graph. Select “Custom” to more easily edit the video moment-by-moment.
-
Use the curve graph to speed up and slow down the video. You’ll see a graph that shows a straight line with dots. Each of those dots is grabbable. Grab one and drag it higher on the graph to make that portion of the video faster, or lower to make it slower. Mix up the speed of your video until some parts are slow and some are fast, then tap “Save” and upload the TikTok like normal.
- You can preview the video while you edit it. For the best effect, speed up and slow down the video at funny times.
- Slow down the video when you say something important, and speed it up in between.
