The rise of Tik Tok within social networks is incredible. In a short time, the platform conceived to share short videos, has added all kinds of tools to accommodate all kinds of content creators and continue to dominate its sector.
Without a doubt, one of the most popular tools to create Tik Tok videos is the use of filters with which to improve the quality of the video, its sharpness, range of colors and a lot of other professional and effective tools.
Use filters on Tik Tok
TikTok is a social network of Chinese origin in which users share short videos between 15 and 60 seconds. These videos can be edited with tools to include music, slow and fast motion, special effects, augmented reality, etc.
Without a doubt, within all these possibilities, one of the most used are filters to correct hue, focus, intensity or saturation. It’s basically the same process you do on Instagram by retouching an image to make it look better before playing it.
To do this, the first thing you will have to do is on the platform’s main screen, click on the (+) icon, located at the bottom center to enter the creation and editing mode of your video.
Once inside, we can see that the option to add filters is placed in the upper right margin, above “Beautify”. Do not confuse the Tik Tok filters with the effects either, which are located in the lower left margin, next to the record button.
Due to its nomenclature, Tik Tok filters are those that are limited to changing the color, that is, they can make the image brighter, alter the contrast, change it to black and white but without other additions. Effects would be those of augmented reality on the image or those that replace a part of the video in the green screen style, while in embellish we can find “photoshopping” of the image that modifies and alters it.
Best TikTok Filters
Once you know how you can improve the finish of your videos by using filters, we are going to tell you which ones should not be missing in your use of the social network as a creator. The use of these correction layers allows you to optimize the result of your videos to improve their image, enhance beauty and capture the attention of the audience.
Such is the quality guaranteed by the use of these filters that they have become essential for tiktokers when they edit their content, in the preliminary retouching phase before proceeding to publish it. These filters are sorted into four main categories: Portrait, Landscape, Food, or “Vivid.”
In the Portrait category, it will depend mainly on your taste or the type of skin you have, but one of the ones that most often favors the so-called F4, a famous filter on TikTok, since it lightens your videos if they look opaque or dark, improves the gray areas in the video and makes it look lighter, even giving it a golden sunset tint.
Another useful filter in this category is the S3, which helps make the tiktoker’s skin look a little more tanned and glowy, plus it can bring out the hair and makeup noticeably.
The landscape filter in TikTok is used to edit the environment around you. The B10 filter in this category is initially designed to add a color cast on top of video, but it gained popularity for another aspect. In people with brown or dark brown eyes, the eyes appear brighter and more luminous. Change the color of the eyes in a natural way, adding shades of hazel and green.
In the food category, the G6 filter is a popular choice when shooting food because it helps add more color and depth to a photo.
In the Intense category (or Vibe in English) we will find videos that favor both the environment and you at the same time. We can highlight the V1, which makes your videos look like something out of a 60’s movie.
We also like Intense’s V6, where once you’ve applied this filter, your video will have a summery vibe, casting a pink or purple glow over it. Perfect if you want to jump ahead a few months until the summer season arrives.
