TikTok is now the third most downloaded app in the US, just behind Facebook and Instagram. In 2018, the app had over 300 million daily active users.

TikTok is a very popular video-sharing social media application that was developed by the Chinese company, ByteDance. The app was launched back in 2016, and now it has over 500 million downloads worldwide. It allows users to create short videos and share them with their friends and followers.

TikTok is a mobile app that allows users to upload and share short videos. Users can also add text captions and music to their videos, duet with other content creators, or stitch with other creators’ videos. The app is free to download and use, but users can pay to get access to premium features.

What Is ‘Stitch’ On TikTok?

When you post a video on TikTok, your video content has the potential to ignite a chain reaction in the TikTok community. Videos can kick-start new trends, inspire duets, and be transformed into something new altogether.

Stitch is an editing feature on TikTok, which gives its users yet another way to engage with a world of content that’s made and shared every day by the ever-creative TikTok community.

Stitching gives its users the ability to clip and incorporate scenes from another user’s video into their own. Like a Duet, Stitching is a way to reinterpret and add to another user’s content, building on their story, or responding to it in some way. Users can choose if other people are able to Stitch their content, just like Duet.

You can toggle this feature on or off for all videos you upload. Each video created with Stitch attributes the author, and the attribution link points directly to the original clip. There are many creative ways that TikTok users can make use of the Stitch feature.

How Do I Stitch My Video?

Stitching is really easy on the TikTok app. Follow the steps below to get Stitching:

Find the video content that you would like to add a Stitch onto.
Tap the arrow that is located on the right side of the screen.
Tap the “Stitch” option. If this option appears faded, that means the video’s creator has turned Stitch off for this content.
Scroll through the content and select a clip to use in your Stitch. You can add up to five seconds of the video to add to your Stitch. Trim the clip to the desired length and part of the video, and tap “Next”.
After selecting your desired clip, you can record your section of the video. While you’re recording your response video, the red at the top of the screen represents the original video, while the blue represents your recording.

How Do I Edit My Video After I’ve Stitched?

After you have finished stitching, you can go back into your video and tweak any aspect of it. To do so, tap the gear icon (top right) and then tap “Edit”. From here, you can trim the length of your video, change the speed of playback, or even delete the entire clip. You can also add any of TikTok’s many inbuilt effects to your video.

When you stitch a video, TikTok gives proper credit to the creator in the new video captions. It also links directly to the source. You can’t delete the hashtag and profile tag because they’re part of the caption.

How To Turn Stitch On and Off

The Stitch tool on TikTok gives you the opportunity for your content to be used by many millions of potential collaborators. Your videos could be Stitched by other users, gaining your original video more traction and sending it viral.

If you’re not comfortable opening up your videos for everyone to use, you can choose whether or not people are able to Stitch your content.

To do this, you can change your Stitch settings within the TikTok app. Follow the steps below to do this.

Go to your profile in the TikTok app.
Select the three dots in the top right corner of your screen.
Select “Privacy”.
Tap “Who can Stitch with your videos.”

Here, you can select between “Everyone”, “Friends”, or “No one”, depending on what your preference is. Your “Friends” are people who you follow that also follow you.

You can also turn Stitches off in the overall settings, or change the settings for each individual video you upload. To do this, tap the “Allow Stitch” toggle before you share a video.

Can You Do A Stitch On TikTok With A Video From Your Camera Roll?

Unfortunately, at the time of writing, you can’t upload videos from your Camera Roll in Stitch. This is because a Stitch must be 100% original content, so your response video must be from the in-app camera function.

The Stitch feature allows you to comment on videos that are trending on the platform. However, most importantly, it can be a great way to create some different types of content than you might normally create.

Everyone watches videos and has ideas for jokes that would work better, or wants to correct some incorrect information. With Stitch, you can respond to videos any way you want to on the platform, but for now, you must do this directly from the camera function within the TikTok app, and not from your saved videos.

Conclusion

The TikTok app provides an easy-to-use interface for creating short videos. You can easily find new followers and gain exposure for your brand. With the ability to Stitch videos together, you can create unique content that will help you stand out from other creators.

With all the features available within the TikTok app, such as Stitches, there really isn’t another video-sharing platform like it. So, go ahead and give it a try. It’s free to download and start creating amazing videos today.
