hey everyone this is Grace from Kapwing and today i'm talking all about tiktok's new filter
the green screen scan filter i'll show you how to find it how to use it and then how to even
create custom background photos that you can use with the filter by using an image editor that is
free and online this green screen scan filter is pretty similar to the time warp scan filter
that was going viral a while back on tiktok where it basically creates a freeze frame of
you or some other object and has a background of your choice behind it this particular filter has
been used a lot recently with the renaissance tiktok trend and some people just use it to
pretend to take photos with celebrities or with their friends or family members
if you're new here make sure to subscribe to our channel to stay up to date with
all our tips on growing your social media platforms through video and let's get started
so to get the green screen scan filter on tiktok first go to tiktok then click the plus button on
the bottom to start a new video and then go to the effects tab and the icon is the one with a
green background with a photo and then the time warp skin line and it says time warp skin with
any photo so essentially whatever photo you choose will be the background and when the freeze frame
happens that background will be there and it'll also capture whatever is on the screen whether
it's your face or your hand or some other moving object so to choose your photo you can just scroll
through your camera roll photos here and then click one i'm just gonna do this random one
of some food i had today and then it'll show a preview of what the photo will look like once
the time work scan happens you can also use either camera this is i'm using my front camera right now
obviously it's recording me but you can also flip the camera and then use whatever is behind i found
that it only records and takes the freeze frame of either humans or animals so some sort of like
living object you could play around with that but for example my hand if i put it there you can see
that now it's actually going to be captured once you start recording it will take that freeze frame
and then as you saw the photo was behind me you can make your other edits in tech talk then click
the check button at the bottom and then continue to publish your video the scan also captures when
you're moving so for example if i start this and then i move during it it'll do these funny
effects that people played around with a lot but basically it's freeze framing as you're making the
video now if you want to make a custom background to use when you use the green screen scan filter
you can do that using a free online website where you can edit images and also videos called kapwing
so kapwing is completely online in your browser no app downloads are required and it works on any
device including phones computers and tablets so the link is in the description you can just
click that and it will take you to kapwing i'm gonna just start a new project here and i'm gonna
make a backdrop to do the renaissance trend really easily so i'm gonna just start with a blank canvas
and then to make sure that it's perfectly sized for tiktok you can go to click edit background
and choose the 9x16 output size then you can either upload your photos or just search in
the images tab right here so i'm just going to search for renaissance background i think this
one is actually really good so i'm just going to click that and it brings it into the canvas
now i want to add some other things like a frame so i'm just going to click images again and search
for a fancy frame i think this one right here is pretty good so i'm going to click that and you can
do a lot with editing images here first to resize it you can just drag it around on the canvas and
use the purple dots to resize i want to remove the white part in the middle of this frame so that you
can see behind it so i'm just going to click edit image and we have an erase tool so click erase
and then using the magic wand tap the part you don't want and click remove and there it goes
so i'm gonna click done and now we have that frame there so i'm gonna actually copy this
image so that i can actually use the frames uh left and right edges and include them on the
on the photo so i'm just gonna click edit image go to down and click duplicate
so now i have a copy of this frame i'm going to expand it so that you can see the edges of it
now i'm going to crop the photo to only include the side and click done cropping
and then i'm going to expand it so that it fits with the rest of the photo
okay so that looks pretty good to me i'm just going to copy click edit image and duplicate
that side again then drag it over and edit image again so that i can rotate it
horizontally and then place it on the right side also cool that looks pretty solid i'm just going
to go into images again and search for a cherub and then you can also add the word png on the end
to try and find uh images that don't have like a white border so this one right here is a png so
i'm going to just bring that in and drag it around and resize it down i'm also going to duplicate it
and flip it and now there we go so i think i'm ready to upload this to tiktok and make
my renaissance video click export image and then click download to save it to your device download
again then click the arrow on the top and click the photo and then click the bottom left icon
scroll up and click save image so now your image is in your camera roll let's head back to tick
tock to use the green screen scan filter that was my previous video i'm going to just start over
and as i said before green screen then choose your photo which this was the one i just made
and you can see a preview of it so i'm gonna try and center myself here and now let's record it
so there we go that is the green screen scan
