Do you constantly upload videos to TikTok? If yes, then you may have encountered a problem. You create a video and add sound to it, but the video is always shorter than you recorded, and you cannot use the whole sound on TikTok. Why is that, and how to use the whole sound on TikTok?
Answer:
You can use the whole sound on TikTok in the following ways:
1. Use The Whole Sound On TikTok Using TikTok App
2. Use The Whole Sound On TikTok Using CapCut App
3. Use The Whole Sound On TikTok Using PC Editors
So every time you create a video on TikTok, keep in mind that the length of the video needs to be the same as the length of the music. And if you are adding sound after creating the video, adjust the sound and replay it before you upload the video on TikTok.
What Are TikTok “Sounds?”
TikTok “sounds” are the backbone of TikTok. Without sound, nobody will watch your video, and there is a low chance of getting your video viral. People make videos on TikTok using either the original sound (“own sound”) or TikTok sounds to create a video.
TikTok sounds can be music, dialogue, funny sounds, or the creator’s own sounds. Nowadays, people are making TikTok videos on any sound, such as dialogue, funny voices, music, sad story, motivational speech, or meme sounds. If you think the sound fits your video, you can add any kind of sound to your video or use trending music to go viral on TikTok.
Why Is My TikTok Video Shorter?
There is another reason why people find their video no longer than 15 sec. Most new users do not know that TikTok sets the length of a video to 15 sec by default. If you want your video to be longer than 15 sec, you need to change the default settings.
On the recording screen, at the bottom of the screen, there you will find the length of the video, i.e., 15 sec, 60 sec, 3 min, and 10 min.
So before you record a video on TikTok, select the length of the video you want to create. And after you create the video, select the music of the same length as the video. Adjust the sound along the video length while editing.
This will ensure that your video will not be cut in between and synced with the audio.
Now, if you want to use the whole sound on TikTok, there are some solutions provided below.
