One of the latest trends on TikTok involves using CapCut to add a 3D effect to images and then arranging them in a video. TikTok effects and filters are often the basis of trending content on the viral platform, but this particular effect and trend requires the use of an additional app. Here’s how to apply the 3D effect to images and then create a video ready to be uploaded to TikTok.
TikTok’s popularity continues to soar with more people migrating to the short-form video-sharing platform than ever before. This is also in spite of the increasing number of services that appear to have directly copied many of the features that have made TikTok a hit. One of the differences between those other services and TikTok is that the latter is almost purpose-designed for viral content, and filters and effects play a major role in that design.
The trending 3D effect videos currently popular on TikTok are made possible through the use of the CapCut app. Although this is a separate application for Android and iOS, it is owned by Bytedance, the parent company of TikTok. For those that are particularly interested in producing content for TikTok, CapCut is probably worth a download regardless of the 3D effect, considering it is a free all-in-one video editing app from the same company.
With the app downloaded and open, tap on New project and then select the images to be included in the TikTok video before tapping on Add. Typically, this will be eleven images in total. Tap on the first image in the timeline and then on the Style option in the options bar at the bottom. Then simply tap on the 3D Zoom to apply the 3D effect to the image. Once done, repeat with the remaining images. The only thing left to do is to set the length of each image video. To specifically replicate the current TikTok Trend, the first four images will need to be set to 0.5 seconds with each of the remaining seven images set to 0.3 seconds.
Once done, a video montage of all of the images with the 3D effect applied will be available. The video can then simply be exported out of CapCut and uploaded to TikTok, where the creator can add any of the usual finishing touches they want before publishing to the platform. This includes recording and adding a similar intro to those seen on the current crop of 3D effect TikTok videos.
