Editing your TikTok Video
Add custom text, logos, and a watermark
Once your video clip is uploaded to Animoto, you can add custom text and brand logos to personalize your content. Make sure to keep text above the bottom third and away from the far right in order to avoid having your text hidden by the captions, hashtags, follow, and like buttons. Click the 'Design' tab to unlock dozens of theme options and enhancements for a more stylized look.
Match your song to your video
Music is super crucial on TikTok. Animoto has an amazing variety of tunes to accompany your video, or choose a song through TikTok. When in TikTok, select trending audios that fit well with your video to help boost your views and potential engagement.

Animoto makes the publishing process seamless, allowing you to quickly upload and share it with all of your TikTok friends. You can also publish to other social platforms or even just your website.
TikTok video marketing tips
Hashtag it
TikTok is a hashtag heavy platform, especially if you are a new creator. To give your content the best traction from the start, make sure you are attaching the most effective hashtags to every post.
Focus on SEO for TikTok
SEO, or search engine optimization, is another important way to get more viewers. Take time to carefully word your descriptions and use keywords that pertain to the topic of your video. It's especially vital for businesses on TikTok!
Try TikTok ads
TikTok's ad platform is a great way for new creators to get their content seen by more people. There are options for in-feed native ads, brand takeover ads, and hashtag challenge ads (the latter is a great way to target specific user types).
