How To Edit TikTok Videos in Adobe Premiere Pro (Dimensions, Export Settings and Uploading)

Introduction

Creating TikTok videos with high-quality editing can elevate your content significantly. In this guide, we'll walk you through the process of editing TikTok videos in Adobe Premiere Pro, including how to set the right dimensions, export settings for the best quality, transfer files, and upload to TikTok with added music.

Step 1: Preparing Your Project

1. Load Adobe Premiere Pro: Start by importing your footage into Adobe Premiere Pro and making a rough edit of your video.

2. Change Sequence Settings: TikTok uses a vertical format to fill the screen on mobile devices. To change the settings:

   • Navigate to Sequence > Sequence Settings.
   • In the Frame Size section, switch the dimensions to 1080 x 1920 (from the default resolution).
   • Leave the other settings as they are and click OK.

3. Adjust Your Clips: After changing the dimensions, your video may not fit the frame perfectly:

   • Select your video clip, go to the Effect Controls, and adjust the Scale and Position until it fills the frame completely without any black bars.

Step 2: Exporting Your Video

1. Export Video: Once you're satisfied with the final edit:
   • Go to File > Export > Media.
   • Name your video (e.g., "test video") and select where to save it.
   • For best results, choose the YouTube 1080p preset and ensure the dimensions are still set to 1080 x 1920.
   • Make sure to check the Use Maximum Render Quality option before hitting Export.

Step 3: Transfer Your Video to Your Phone

To upload your video to TikTok, you'll need to transfer it to your mobile device. Here are a couple of efficient methods:

• Using AirDrop: If you have an iPhone and MacBook, simply use AirDrop to send the file directly to your phone.

• Using Dropbox or Google Drive: For non-Apple users or those preferring cloud storage:

  • Upload your video file to Dropbox or Google Drive.
  • On your mobile device, open the respective app, locate your video, and download it to your camera roll.

Step 4: Uploading to TikTok

1. Open TikTok: Launch the TikTok app and tap the + icon to create a new post.
2. Select Your Video: Click on Upload to choose the video you just transferred.
3. Add Music:
   • Tap on Sound to select audio for your video. You can search for popular sounds like “Pop Smoke” and pick one that fits your content.
   • Adjust the volume for the original audio and the added sound as necessary.

That's it! You've successfully edited, exported, and uploaded your TikTok video with music, all while maintaining high quality.
