Edit videos for TikTok

Editing video for TikTok doesn't require opening a desktop editor. Most of the work is three things: taking the right part of a long recording, switching to 9:16 framing and burning in captions. BeamTake does all three in one flow; the export downloads as 1080×1920 or goes straight to your account.

Which settings matter for TikTok?

TikTok viewers watch one-handed, vertical, often starting muted and decide within the first 2 seconds. On screen, ~140 px of buttons on the right edge, ~340 px of username and caption at the bottom, so putting text there is wasted.

How content travels on TikTok

On TikTok, follower count doesn't decide distribution: every video is shown to a small group first and grows based on how they react. A new account's clip can travel as far as an old one's, but for the same reason every clip has to prove itself from zero.

Practical notes for TikTok

  • If the first frame is static, people swipe: start the clip mid-thought, while something is happening.
  • The bottom-right corner is full of buttons; center the captions and lift them above the bottom strip.
  • Many people watch with the sound off: burned-in captions aren't decoration here, they're how the video is understood.
  • Spread the 5–6 clips from one long video over several days instead of posting them all at once.

FAQ

Do I need to install anything?

No, it runs in the browser. Even screen recording happens in the browser.

Can I upload my own file?

Yes. MP4, MOV, MKV, WebM and audio files work, or paste a link.

Do I have to connect my TikTok account?

No. Without connecting, download the export and upload it yourself. Connect it to schedule posts from the calendar.

What's the export quality?

Every plan exports at 1080 pixels on the short side. The Studio plan unlocks 4K (2160 on the short side); a lower-resolution source isn't artificially upscaled.
