Creating a TikTok Video
The most popular use-case for this template is adding one of our viral 3D animations to your video before uploading it to TikTok - helping you capture attention and entertain your viewers.
Here are some great examples to upload (before adding an animation):
- Influencer/UGC videos
- Product shots/videos
- Selfie videos
- Brand videos
...or anything else.
Here some examples for inspiration 😍

To get started, click the Create New Video button in the top right of your account.

When you're happy with how your video is looking, click on Next.
Now you're able to add your animation to your video!
Adding Animations
On the right you'll see a sidebar showcasing all our animations (2,000+) you can use. You can search for animations by keyword, or click the first thumbnail ("View More" as shown below) to browse our full library.
Hover your mouse over any of the animation thumbnails for 1-2 seconds and a full preview will begin playing.
Click on any animation to select and add it to your video, or click the "close" icon in the top right corner of the page to return to the previous view.
When you select an animation, it'll be added to your video preview and you'll be able to see exactly how your video will look before it's rendered.
If you want to turn off the animation's sound effect, click the sound icon in-between the next and back buttons below your video (see more detailed instructions on that here).
Once you're happy, click on Next below your video.
Click the Start Rendering button, or click the breadcrumb navigation above the button to go back and make edits.
Your video will begin rendering. Depending on your video template edits and our current rendering queue, this should not take longer than 60 seconds.
Feel free to create a different video in the meantime while you wait, your video's rendering progress will be available on your dashboard (click "My Videos" in the top navigation menu to go to the dashboard).
When your video has finished rendering, you'll be shown an option to download your video file.
Click Download.
Now you can upload your new video file anywhere (such as TikTok)! 🙌
