When uploading a video to Tik Tok, each user must take into account a number of rules that the platform itself requires. These rules include both materials prohibited in the videos themselves, and what should be the format, duration, size of the video, and so on. In this article, we will talk about how to avoid mistakes, we will analyze the key issues, what video resolution for TikTok, duration, and so on.
Requirements for video recordings
There are many requirements, they should be studied by those who edit their videos in third-party applications, and especially from a PC. After all, what can be “created” there may simply not be suitable for TT.
Video duration
One of the most important conditions that everyone is interested in is how long can one file last? 
Initially, when Tik Tok was created, it was a platform for only short 15-second posts. Less is possible, but more is not. Then TT increased the user’s capabilities somewhat, making it possible to shoot and upload videos up to a full minute.
At the end of 2020, there was a final change, in connection with which you can upload material up to 3 minutes long. This is convenient for those who shoot not only humorous videos, but also educate young people on TikTok, talking about science in simple language, and so on.
What to do if the video is longer
If trouble has already happened, you have not calculated, and the filmed material is enough for an hour of the “movie”, then there is a solution to this.
There are several options – divide it into several parts, notifying users that the continuation is in your profile (thus, people can see your other content), put acceleration on the video (this function is in the TT itself).
Format
The next important point, what video format Tik Tok supports is universal .mov or .mp4.
If you shoot with a regular phone camera, you may not even think about this item. Tik Tok happily embraces the mobile camera format. But those who mount videos on a PC should definitely save them in one of the formats listed above. They are suitable for both Tik Tok and Instagram.
Resolution
In order for the video content to be clearly visible to everyone who comes to watch it, it is worth considering the resolution of the video. Tik Tok is a mobile application, which means that the extension is supported for mobile devices and only.
The maximum video resolution for Tik Tok in pixels is 1080×1920. The aspect ratio is also standardized to 9:16.
If the declared resolution differs from the recommended one, Tik Tok will compress the video on its own. No one is responsible for the quality after compression.
Please note that the camera must be in a vertical position when shooting. If the condition is not met, you will have to do it yourself in various programs.
Size
There is a maximum size, which will be different for Android and iPhone operating systems. In the case of the first one it is 75 MB and the second one is 250 MB.
How to make a video suitable for Tik Tok
In order for TT to skip your video, you can:
- save as MP4 or MOV;
- change aspect ratio through any video editor, select 9:16 in the settings;
- horizontal movie can be easily flipped in the same video editor;
- in any video editor, for example, VideoMaster, we can compress the video to the desired size by simply applying the necessary parameter when saving.
Any necessary action is performed manually, both from a computer and from a phone. You can try to edit even in Tik Tok itself. If we talk about the length of the video.
Summary
There are not so few requirements, but they are most often applicable for those who decide to seriously take up editing their videos. This is very commendable, because Tik Tok appreciates unique, unique content. Consider the necessary points when further editing.
