Trimming sound is a basic tool on TikTok that allows you to set a different starting point for your video under the Sound or Add a sound feature. Before you learn how to use it, it’s important to understand that you can’t use TikTok’s trim sound feature to create a custom mix.
Similarly, the sound trim feature is only available when the duration of the sound exceeds the time duration preset chosen for filming the video. For example, if you set the camera mode to 30 seconds but your track is also 30 seconds or less, you cannot “trim” the song to begin at a different point.
With that out of the way, we’ll go over how to trim sound on the TikTok app.
How To Trim Sound Before Recording On TikTok On Android
- To access the create page, launch TikTok and tap the “+” (Record) button.
- Tap Add sound at the top of the create page.
- To find a specific sound, go to the Sounds page and choose a song from the recommended list (Discover, Playlist), a song from Favorites, or enter sound keywords in the Search box.
- This page displays the results of a search for a sound keyword in the search box. To select the sound, tap the red button with a checkmark inside.
- You will be returned to the create page (camera).
- Tap the sound marquee at the top of the page. At the bottom of the page, you’ll see the Current sound tab, which includes the title of the sound as well as three buttons: scissors, bookmark, and close.
- Select the scissors option.
- At this point, a soundwave bar appears.
- Drag the soundwave bar to the left to change the song’s default starting point to a different time.
- It should be noted that the soundwave bar will not move unless the duration of the sound is longer than the duration of your selected video location.
- For example, if you set the camera mode to 30 seconds but your track is also 30 seconds or less in length, you will be unable to “trim” the song to begin at a different point.
- To apply the changes, tap Done.
That’s all there is to it; you’ve now mastered the simple steps involved in trimming a sound on TikTok.
