Caption Style Recommendation

Working with Assets

View Scraped Assets

• Go to Assets in the left side menu
• All images and videos scraped from your product URL are displayed here

Add New Assets

1. In the Assets panel, click the + (plus sign)
2. Upload images or videos from your device
3. Drag and drop assets into the timeline

Edit Assets

• Resize: Drag the corners of any visual
• Replace: Right-click or use the top-right menu to replace a visual
• Crop: Crop to the right size from the corner menu
• Opacity: Adjust transparency using the slider
• Show/Hide: Toggle visibility
• Fill/Fit: Choose how the asset fills the frame
• Animation: Add entrance/exit animations

Timeline Management

• Drag asset clips on the timeline to rearrange
• Drag the edges to shorten or extend clips
• Use 3-7 second clips for B-roll to maintain viewer attention
• Switch up B-roll frequently -- TikTok viewers have short attention spans

Music

Select Background Music

1. Go to Music in the left side menu
2. Browse by categories or check trending music
3. Click Play to preview tracks
4. Select the track you want

Upload Custom Music

1. Go to My Music in the music panel

3. Upload your own audio file

Adjust Volume

• Use the volume slider in the top right corner
• Balance music volume against voiceover

Commercial Music

Occasionally, the default music selection may include tracks that are not commercially licensed for TikTok. Consider muting the default music and adding your own commercially licensed track, or using TikTok's commercial sounds library after export.

Call to Action (CTA)

Add a CTA

1. Go to CTA in the left side menu
2. Click + to upload your brand logo
3. Customize:
   • Text: Edit the CTA message (e.g., "Now just $30", "Shop Now", "Limited Time")
   • Font, Size, Color, Style: Match your brand
4. Position the CTA on the video
5. Adjust timing: Drag the CTA bar on the timeline to control when it appears

CTA Tips

• Point an arrow image toward the purchase button (especially for TikTok Shop)
• Test different CTA texts: "Shop Now", "Get Yours Before Midnight", "Try It Risk-Free"
• You can make the CTA fill the end screen with a blurred video background
• Adding CTA at the initial stage (under media and product details) auto-generates one

Delete a CTA

• Click the Delete button on the CTA element
• Re-upload a new one if needed
