How people watch on TikTok

TikTok is watched full-screen on a phone, with sound often on, one swipe at a time. A clip has a moment to earn the next second, so a strong image and a spoken hook matter more than polish.

Set your video up for TikTok

  • Choose vertical 9:16 so the video fills the screen
  • Keep it short: a script of up to 20 words gives a video of 6 to 10 seconds
  • Use a voiceover for a hook, or Energetic or Social music for mood

What to show first

  • Open on the most striking image, not on a logo
  • Say the hook in the first line of the voiceover

An example you can adapt

Example sentence: A pair of sneakers landing on a wet pavement in slow motion, neon reflections, vertical.

Example voiceover: "Stop scrolling. These might be the only sneakers you need this year." That script is 12 words, so the video falls in the "6–10 seconds" length and costs 2 credits in Full HD or 4 credits in 4K.

Mistakes to avoid on TikTok

  • Opening with a logo or a slow build instead of the hook
  • Making the clip longer than the idea needs, since short and clear tends to hold attention

Before you post on TikTok

  • Check TikTok's current rules for AI-generated content, and label your video if asked to.
  • Add captions or on-screen text in your editor if you want them
  • Use sounds and tags the way the platform expects, and follow its community rules
