The next feature I wanna show you. Isn't really a built in feature of TikTok,
not entirely, but it is a style of video that's really popular,
and it's this: it's to create two characters.
This is important as business owners,
because you can film a video where you are yourself as the mentor,
the advisor,
and then you also act as your client or your student who has the questions.
Let me show you what this looks like.
.
TikTok makes it relatively easy to make this kind of video,
where you're acting as two different characters.
So let me show you how it's done. On my profile,
I'm going to hit the plus button at the bottom and I'm actually going to create
a TikTok. I'm gonna leave it on 15 seconds at the bottom. So the first version,
the first character of myself, I'm gonna look like this and in this case,
I'm gonna act like a client or student of mine who has a question.
So I'm gonna say a couple things as if I am my student.
How do you grow to a thousand followers on Instagram? Okay.
So that's the first clip.
Right at the top you can see how much time I have left in my clip.
That's the first one. Now, after this clip,
I wanna cut to the second version of me. That's me as the mentor,
but I'm still wearing the outfit for character number one.
So I don't want to film character number two yet.
What I'm gonna do is film myself just as a placeholder and
I'm actually gonna go back and replace that clip.
So let me I'll do this. Then I'll just film something like
I'm looking at the top to make sure I have enough time. Okay.
Then I'm gonna go back to character one and say something like,
oh, that makes so much sense. How do I get started?
Then I'm gonna go back to character two. And again,
this is just a placeholder and I'm gonna let it run.
All right. So going back,
you can see the four clips right at the top, right?
The first clip was character one. Then we did character two,
then back to character one and then character two.
So now I'm going to switch characters and I just need to
change something about my appearance. Yes, it could be my top.
It could be putting on a hat. We could put like a towel on my head.
That's also a TikTok thing. In this case, I have sunglasses around.
So I'm just gonna use sunglasses and I'm also gonna change up the direction.
So if the first character was this way, second character will be this way.
Okay? So that's my prep for character number two. Now, how do I do this?
How do I fill in character number two?
I'm gonna hit the red check mark at the bottom.
And now you can see on the right hand menu,
there is a button that says "adjust clips". Okay?
So I'm gonna leave clip number one and three there. 'Cause we want those.
But clip number two, I wanna replace.
And I'm going to hit the button that says "start over".
That's gonna actually allow me to replace this entirely. So to get ready,
I'm gonna hit "start over", and
now I'm ready to be character number two.
First thing you need to do is give yourself a profile makeover and figure out
your content. Did I get it?
First thing you need to do is give yourself a profile makeover and figure out
your content. Let's try it again.
First thing you need to do is give yourself a profile makeover and figure out
your content. Okay? We got it. So let's hit the check mark.
Now hit the next check mark. Now we're gonna keep clip three, right?
And I wanna replace clip four. So again,
"start over" now I'm back to being character two
and let's film. Easy, head to EliseDarma.co/secrets.
All right. I think I got it. Easy head to EliseDarma.co/secrets.
Hit the check mark. Voilà.
Now we have just filmed myself as two characters and you can see in this area,
this is actually where you can tap on each clip and trim it.
So I like to make it tight so that there isn't a lag at the start.
So I do, something like that,
I look at my mouth and I just wanna start it right when I'm talking again,
people have short attention spans.
We don't wanna lose them and we wanna hook them in right at the start too.
How do you grow? Okay. How do you, I just trimmed that.
First thing you need to do is give yourself a profile makeover and figure out
your content. That one, I don't have time to trim anything here.
I'm not really talking for a bit. Oh, that makes so much sense.
How do I get started? Oh, that makes. Okay. Well that makes that
easy head to easy head to EliseDarma.co/secrets.
So this is what I mean by editing fast,
you wanna talk fast and you wanna edit fast. You wanna make those cuts,
those trims to your clips so that it's all very seamless. All right.
So let's go watch this video in full.
How do you grow to a thousand followers on Instagram?
First thing you need to do is give yourself a profile makeover and figure out
your content. Oh, that makes so much sense. How do I get started? Easy,
head to EliseDarma.co/secrets. There you go.
That's the demo of how you can film yourself as two characters in a pretty easy,
quick way.
Now I would actually go back and even tighten up some of those clips even more.
You can see that there was transition where I almost talked over myself,
but in the TikTok world, that's a-okay.
It's similar to YouTube editing where you have those tight jump cuts. Again,
short attention spans,
don't wanna lose people and people can figure out what you're saying.
So now that you know how to be two characters in one video,
go ahead and try this editing technique out.
