TikTok is a fun app that allows users to share short videos with the world. Plus, you can add tunes of your choice, filters, stickers, texts, and whatnot to give a wow factor to your otherwise dull videos. TikTok welcomes every kind of creator and has content for everyone. That is why it is the fastest growing social media app with billions of active users.
Now, staying on the subject of the wow factor, there are many ways you can potentially jazz up your videos on TikTok. Flipping the video is one of the ways. Now, when one says to flip a video on TikTok, it could mean several things, flip to the front/back camera, flip effects (reverse, rotate effects), or fully rotate the video.
To flip the video to the front/back camera, locate the flip button with arrows on the top and tap it. To reverse the video, look for the “Reverse” under “Time” in the Effects sections after uploading or creating a video. Similarly, you can add a rotation effect to your videos by looking for “Rotate” under “Transition” in the effects gallery. You can fully rotate your videos by clicking on the rotation icon under the “Adjust clips” > “Edit” option.
