The easiest way to use this feature is to choose a keyword or topic you want to talk about and then upload your video with that filter applied. For example, if you wanted to make a movie review video for the best action movies, you could apply the “Action” filter.

You get 5 uses of the app per month so there is no need to purchase extra tokens unless you really needed the advanced settings like changing the color scheme or editing the description.

As mentioned before, you can add trending filters to your profile by becoming a tikTok partner. This is not required for users to use these features, but it does give people more exposure to your account.

You will be asked if you want to become a partner when you first open up an account. You will then have to confirm that you are able to accept payments before being allowed to use the tools.

There is an additional fee involved in becoming a partner, however. The price depends on how many followers you already have on the platform and whether or not you are willing to advertise yourself as an influencer.

But once you are paid as a partner, you get some extra features such as higher upload limits and special branding.
