Sound is an essential part of human makeup because it forms a perfect blend to characterise something beautiful. Be it in the form of art, nature or any kind of media that transmit the proper degree of sound; it is always superb. But a noise, on the other hand, could make a beautiful piece look terrible.

So when it comes to TikTok, there's no exemption. The incorporation of sound transforms the various art on the platform. It enables users to have a memorable moment while making use of it. But this sound too has to be correctly synchronised with the content produced. It has to be fitting else it could become terrible. Therefore, the trimming of sounds is necessary.

Trim Sound On Tiktok Slideshow
How can this be done on the TikTok platform where you are capable of creating numerous slideshows. This article will help explain in details how you can do it. It will be useful for you, especially if you're new on the platform. There are two options in carrying this out. They are-
  • Through the TikTok app
  • Through a third-party app

The TikTok app

Step 1. Launch open your TikTok app and record your slideshow as you've always done. You can upload them from your phone's gallery or the templates provided on the TikTok app. After uploading and you're done reviewing it, click on the "Sound" option found at the bottom left corner of your screen.

Step 2. Select a song from the list provided and if none meets what you're looking for, hit the "More" option. It will give the total sounds available on the platform for your use. Please note that the length of the most popular audio is just 15 seconds. So invariably, your slideshow's display length will be limited to 15 seconds of play when you use such songs.

Step 3. After clicking the song of your choice, a sound wave display will appear below your screen meant to give you control over editing the music. Click and drag the audio wave button to either the right or left to trim off the unwanted section. Left there will be the part you desire to use.

Step 4. At this point, you've successfully trimmed sound, and if you follow the onscreen prompts, you'll be able to add the cut music to your slideshow. Using the TikTok's sound editing feature, they restrict you to only trimming off the unwanted part in a song only from both ends. You're not able to remove elements from the middle. It could be disturbing for some users who desire more.

Also, the TikTok app no longer allows the use of imported sound from outside the platform for video editing or slideshows. They restrict you to only making use of the tones provided on the platform. These sounds too might not meet up your expectations. So what can you do? Here's where the second option comes handy.
