Editing videos can be hard, especially if you’re just starting out. If you want to upload a video to TikTok and have it synced to a specific sound, here’s an easy guide to make it as good as possible.

TikTok has come a long way from where the app first began, with the platform constantly adding a range of new features that make creating and sharing content much easier than before.

In particular, there are a lot of editing features within the app, so that people wanting to make good content on TikTok can do so without needing to use third-party apps as often.

Users can now sync up clips in one of their posts to a ‘sound’ or audio. This feature has inspired several viral trends on the platform.

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