Editing TikTok videos can be challenging, especially for beginners. If you’re looking to sync your content with a TikTok sound, there are some helpful tricks to make it easier.

TikTok provides a range of editing features that allow users to create high-quality content on the app, without needing to use third-party apps like CapCut as often.

One of the features allows users to sync up clips or photos in one of their posts to a ‘sound’ or audio. This feature has inspired several viral trends on the app, such as dances and lip-syncing videos.

The process can result in an effortless montage that makes it easy to look back on your favorite videos and memories.
