Hey everyone, this is Grace from Kapwing and today I'm talking all about
TikTok's teleport filter.
The teleport filter does what it sounds like it'll do it teleports you
to another place by putting a different background behind you and you
get to choose that background.
The filter has been used in the celebrity look-alike Trend where the
filter supposedly shows you what your celebrity look-alike will be
other people have been making videos where the filter tells where
you'll be in the future.
So in this video, I'll show you how to get it how to use it and then
how to make perfectly sized custom photo backgrounds to use with the
filter if you're new here
Don't forget to subscribe to our channel so we can keep giving you all
the tips we have on how to make social media videos and grow your
platforms and now let's get into video.
Okay, so to get to the filter you first go to Tiktok and then go to
the bottom and click to start making a video so immediately just go to
the effects tab on the bottom left and then scroll down and the
teleport filter icon is the one with this like yellow with the
sparkles in the front.
So that's the icon click that and then immediately you'll see that a
little row of your photos from your camera roll show up.
So basically the way the Filter Works, is that the photo you choose.
I'm just going to click this one is the background that will appear
when you teleport and the way that you teleport is you hold your hand
out.
So it's as simple as that you can teleport back and forth between the
two between your current actual background and your the photo
background just by holding her hand.
So I'm going to try that out so I can if you hold up your hand you'll
see that you teleport there and you can like show it around whatever
you want.
And then you can go back to your original Background by holding up
your hand again, and now you've teleported twice just make sure that
you're recording when you're actually teleporting.
I was just doing the preview there and not recording but to actually
take the video just hold down the button and then you can hold your
hand up and teleport teleport back and then you can click the
checkmark to continue making your edits on Tik Tok go to make a custom
and perfectly sized photo to use for this filter.
You might already have one on your phone and that's great.
But if you have one that you want to resize so that it fits with the
screen on Tik Tok and the filter or you want to add in different
elements to create your own photo.
You can do that really easily using complain which is our free online
editor.
You can use it to edit videos images and gifs.
It works on your phone or computer any device cuz it's in the browser.
So you just click the first link in the description below to get there
and just start a new project then click to start with a blank canvas
and this is the most important part to make it the right size is click
edit background.
And I choose the output size 9 by 16.
So this ensures that it fits Tik Tok and the whole screen you can do
whatever you want.
Really you can upload your own photos from your device or you can even
search for images right inside the editor add text and other shapes.
I'm going to search in the images for a Super Mario background and try
and make something out of that for my video is going to cut this one
and then use the purple dots to resize it.
Then I'm going to go back into the images and search for a Yoshi
character and you couldn't ask me word PNG at the end to try and
find things that are transparent.
But even if they're not transparent, for example, if I click this one
and it brings it in it has that transparent background that PNG
background, but it's not actually see through.
I don't worry about that since we have a image eraser.
So I'm going to click the edit image button again, and now you see
there's an erase button here.
I'm going to click that and then you can use the magic wand really
easily to just click areas.
You don't want and click remove henna and all that stuff is gone when
I clicked on here.
And then resize this Yoshi down, you can obviously add more elements
to this but I'm happy with it.
So once you are ready to take it to Tik Tok cut the red export image
button to save it to your camera roll click download first and then
download again and click the arrow in the top corner and then click
the thing that you just made and click.
Bottom left icon and then save image sweet.
So now should be in our camera roll going to head back to Tik Tok to
make our actual teleport video to the same steps going to click the
plus button choose the effect for teleport filter to swim.
And then you can choose your photo.
So, my photo has been chosen and I'm going to start recording.
And be transported to Mario Land, you can add any photo make any photo
to add behind the filter and it'll work in the same way.
