I. The difference between TikTok and TikTok

TikTok, launched in September 2016, is a social platform dedicated to the creation and sharing of short music videos. It predominantly targets a young audience and enables users to select music, record videos, and create their own content. The app is readily available for download in all major Android app stores and the Apple App Store.

TikTok is the international version of TikTok short video, and the function and operation are the same, but the operating countries are different, and the data between the two is not interoperable.

Almost all TikTok and TikTok platforms are young users, 85% of TikTok users are under 24 years old, and the main talents and users are basically born in 95, or even born in 2000.

If domestic users want to log in to the international version of TikTok, they can follow the steps below:

① For iOS users, start by entering your Apple ID, navigate to “Country/Region,” select Change Country/Region, and update it to your desired country. Next, input your updated personal information. Remove your SIM card and connect to a VPN. Then, access the App Store, download TikTok, and begin using it.

② Android users can download the international TikTok app from the internet. After downloading, remove your SIM card to prevent country detection, switch your phone’s system language to Traditional Chinese, connect to a VPN, and access the international version of TikTok.

After a basic understanding of TikTok, the following will teach you how to play TikTok.

II. How to record short TikTok videos and save them to your computer

TikTok, recognized for its slogan “Record a better life,” highlights the ease of capturing and sharing life’s moments swiftly, a trait that is ideally compatible with mobile usage. This dedication to mobility and ease of access at any given time is the chief rationale behind TikTok’s decision to forego the development of a PC client, opting to provide exclusively a mobile version.

How to record TikTok short video

TikTok is an outstanding platform for individuals eager to display their talents. The app offers a user-friendly experience, enabling users to choose from a vast library of songs and craft short videos to showcase their creativity. By leveraging features such as variable shooting speeds, comprehensive editing tools, and captivating special effects like repeat, flash, and slow motion, users can significantly elevate the creativity and impact of their videos.

① First, open the TikTok short video app to enter the home page, and click the “+” at the bottom, as shown in the figure below.

② Select Sounds at the top of the screen.

③ Choose your favorite song.

④ You can add effects to the video and adjust the “volume” of it. After editing, click “Next” to publish.

After the video is shot, if you want to save the video to your computer, what should you do?

How to save recorded video to computer

① In the video publishing interface, check “Save to local“, then the video will be saved locally on the phone.

② It can be uploaded by connecting to the computer through the data cable.

③ You can also directly share to different social media by clicking Share in the lower right corner of the video.

In addition to using good background music, good editing skills can also add extra points to the video. If the editing functions on TikTok are not enough for you, please see the introduction of “advanced version” video editing below.

IV. Professional video editing software can be used to create Great God videos

After selecting the perfect background music and completing the video shoot, the subsequent phase is the editing process. This step is crucial for incorporating special effects. On platforms like TikTok, videos commonly include subtitles, countdowns, or edits and splices from movies or TV shows, which exceed the app’s native functions. For more advanced editing needs, a professional tool such as Renee Video Editor Pro is recommended.
