I Found a SECRET VIRAL Niche On TikTok! (Bouncing Square)
Today, I'm going to teach you how to create the satisfying bouncing square videos that have recently been going viral on TikTok. This account, for example, has gained over 50 million views while on the Creator program and could have potentially made up to $ 25,000. So let's get into the tutorial.
First, download the zip file containing all the necessary files for the simulations. You can find a link for this in the description. While you're there, make sure to join the Discord for a bunch of extra free resources. Extract these files to either your desktop or a preferred folder. Once extracted, you should see four folders.
Inside the assets folder are files used by the executable. Initially, it's recommended to keep these standard until you're more familiar with their purposes. The docs folder contains credits for the original creator, detailed information about the songs, and instructions on their creation which will simplify in this video. The songs folder contains zip files for each song used in the application.
Let's open m.x and explore the program. Upon loading, you'll see several options in the menu. Let's begin with configuration. This section allows you to customize your simulations to achieve various outcomes. I'll briefly explain each option as we go down the list; they are fairly self-explanatory.
One of the most critical settings is the music offset, which adjusts for timing discrepancies when using different midi or music files and simulations, ensuring the desired effects. Some settings are geared toward game mechanics and won't require your attention when creating videos. All visual effects are located on the right-hand side.
Now, let's preview what happens when you load a song. You'll notice that the square reacts to the music beats. Next, let's open the music folder and examine its contents. Inside, you'll find three files: two midi music files and one Json file, which is a note file that needs editing for each song. Here's where you'll find information about the music files that the program reads. First, the song's name, followed by the artist and the creator or mapper name. The version should always be left as one. Next, there's the name of the midi file. There's also a background music midi file whose file name matches the MIDI files.
Now, let's look at how to create music files. You can download MIDI files for songs from sites like Online Sequencer. Online Sequencer is great because it allows you to edit MIDI files by adding or removing Keynotes. For this video, I've selected an example song. I like to open the midi file in editor mode. A popular trend on TikTok involves adding numerous notes at the start of the midi file to create a loud noise and visual effect when the simulation activates. Here, I'm adding these notes to achieve that desired effect.
After adding the notes, simply save the midi file to your desktop with a memorable name. Next, use the Json file from earlier as a template, editing it with the new song's name and title. Save this edited Json file and place it next to the midi file you just downloaded. Duplicate the midi file and rename it to match the song's name, for example, in this case, “test.” Always remember to add “main” lines to the duplicated file's name. Now, select all three files, compress them into a zip file, and rename the folder with the song's name. Once zipped, add this folder to the song's directory we opened earlier.
Now reopen the application. Once open, navigate to play and locate the song you just added. Start the song and verify that it runs as intended. After recording your video using software like OBS, you can edit it using free software like Cap Cut to enhance its appeal for TikTok viewers. For this video, I'm adjusting the video to fit TikTok’s screen format.
Once edited, export the video for further editing within TikTok. Now, over in the TikTok app, select your recorded video and begin adding final touches. Some minor adjustments may be necessary to improve the viewer's experience. Ensure the simulation is centered and the crucial parts are visible. Once satisfied, add a relevant description and hashtags to your video. Then, choose a cover and location for your video if desired. Finally, upload it to your channel.
That's the video completed! For any advice on channel creation, hashtags, captions, and more, join our free Discord community and help us hit 2K members this month.
