The creator can add text to the video, usually intro cards at the beginning which provide an overview of the video. In some cases, subtitles may also be added, especially if the creator wants his videos viewed by people from different countries. Usually the video creator will have a voice over, to narrate the story of the video,and also have voice effects to change how the video will sound. Adding transitions is also another option available to the creator. Often creators are pinning stickers which help in storytelling. Jump cuts are widely used by the video creators to make their video more interesting.

However, the scheduling tool can be only used on desktops. Also the video can be scheduled for publishing on Tiktok only for a maximum period of ten days from the date the video is uploaded. The creator should be aware that it is not possible to edit the video are it has been scheduled for publishing, the video should be deleted and a new video can be uploaded. If the creator wishes to publish from a mobile or on a later date, he should use other tools.
