Create Green Screen Videos on TikTok in 5 Easy Steps<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Creating your own green screen<\/a> effect videos on TikTok couldn\u2019t be easier. Ahead, we\u2019ll break it all down with a step-by-step tutorial. Before you know it you\u2019ll be whisking yourself away to <\/span>tropical locales for your next viral video.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Download App & Install<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The first step is to download the TikTok app, which is easy to find on both <\/span>Google Play<\/span><\/a> and the <\/span>Apple App Store<\/span><\/a>. Navigate to the app using the search function of your preferred app store and download the app. Voila, you\u2019re well on your way to viral TikTok glory.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next, find the app icon on your phone\u2019s home screen, open the app, and follow any prompts until you get to the main screen.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Register\/Create Account or Log In<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The next key step is to register an account with TikTok. This can be done either through a web browser or directly in-app.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Web:<\/b> Visit <\/span>TikTok\u2019s signup page<\/span><\/a>, choose if you\u2019d like to register using your phone, email address, or your Facebook, Twitter, or Google account. Follow the prompts to connect the account you\u2019ve chosen, create your username and password, and click sign up.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mobile: <\/b>Open the app on your phone or tablet and connect your account to your phone or email, or Facebook, Google, or Apple account. Once you\u2019ve chosen a sign up method, select a username, set your password, and click sign up. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Grant Media Library Permission<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Next you\u2019ll want to give the app the permissions it needs to access your media library. Navigate to the settings function on your mobile device and select the TikTok app from the list. It will bring up a new window that allows you to fine-tune the permissions settings. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Access by default is denied for your camera, contacts, microphone, and storage, but by clicking each item on the \u201cdenied\u201d list individually, you can toggle the option to allow the app access.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Select Green Screen Effect & Upload <\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

From the main screen of the app, hit the plus sign to create a video. Next, tap the EFFECTS<\/strong> button to the left of the circular record button on the bottom of your screen. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"TikTok's<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Then, slide over to the GREEN SCREEN<\/strong> tab and select the effect you wish to use. The default option selected is the simplest green screen effect. Tapping the plus sign to the left above the effects menu will bring up your camera roll. Choose the image you\u2019d like to use, then you\u2019ll see yourself superimposed onto your background you\u2019ve selected. <\/span>The second green screen effect option right next to this one works the same way, but allows you to upload videos instead of images.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Green<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Next, just hold the record button to start filming your green screen video. If you want to use multiple images you can release the button, select a new image, and repeat the previous process before resuming recording. Once you\u2019re happy with the finished product you simply click the \u201cnext\u201d button at the bottom right of the screen, add your text and hashtags<\/a>, and click the big red \u201cpost\u201d button.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Other Effects <\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

There are dozens of green screen effect options built right into TikTok, do some experimenting to discover which you like best.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

One popular effect the app provides is the ability to move yourself around the backdrop, which can be done by simply dragging your finger along the image. You can also shrink or grow yourself by pinching or expanding two fingers on your screen.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Creators can also add voiceover effects, sound or music (like our Storyblocks Label tracks<\/a>), text, filters, or trending signs to give their videos a little extra flair. You can even use a GIF or video file as your background, or mix them up and use them all in the same TikTok. You\u2019re only bound by the confines of your creativity when it comes to making TikToks using the green screen effect.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Examples of green screen videos on TikTok<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You can always use whatever room you\u2019re sitting in as a background for your videos. But why do that when you can just as easily<\/a> transport yourself anywhere from the bottom of the ocean to outer space?<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Top creators use TikTok\u2019s green screen feature in a variety of ways, typically to add visual interest or make their videos more entertaining or educational. It\u2019s also incredibly simple to use, whether you want a simple static background or a series of video clips to enhance your creation.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It can be a great tool for adding visual elements to a TikTok to help tell a story or recall a fond (or not so fond) memory. Some creators use the green screen feature for creating tutorials or how-tos, where the superimposed elements help illustrate their instructions. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
