Here’s how to make a seamless looping video for your TikTok feed.

You can make the perfect video loop by yourself with

any video editing app that features the ability to

trim and move clips around on a timeline. So here’s

how you can achieve the perfect TikTok loop:

NEVER SHOOT YOUR BEGINNING FIRST

This might sound a little crazy, but you don’t want

to shoot the beginning of your video first. Instead,

you’re going to want to bridge the transition from

the end of the video to the beginning of the video

in one take. This ensures the video is perfectly

aligned at the loop point to maximize the seamless-

ness of the transition. You then later split the clip

containing the beginning and end in post. After

that you then move the beginning clip to the front

of the timeline.
