Start with a topic, script, or website URL in Wavemaker. Choose a vertical format, generate a draft, then review the visuals, narration, and captions before exporting.
Prepare a video for TikTok
Use a vertical 9:16 canvas so the video fills a phone screen. Introduce the subject in the opening frame, make captions readable, and remove anything that delays the demonstration or explanation.
Include details your audience can use: the steps in a task, an answer to a common question, or a close look at a product. Watch the video with and without sound to check that the message is understandable in both cases.
Choose a format
| Format | What to include |
|---|---|
| Tutorial | Show the result, then explain the steps. |
| Product demonstration | Show the product in use and explain the relevant feature. |
| Short list | Introduce the topic and give each item enough time to read. |
| Explainer | Answer a specific question with supporting visuals. |
| Behind the scenes | Use your own footage to show your workplace or process. |
Make a video in Wavemaker
- Add your source. Enter a topic or URL, paste a script, or upload the materials you want to use. Specify the intended audience and the points to cover.
- Choose 9:16. Set the aspect ratio before generating so the framing and captions fit a vertical screen.
- Generate a draft. Wavemaker prepares the script, visuals, voiceover, and music from your instructions.
- Review captions and audio. Correct names and technical terms. Check text size, line breaks, narration volume, and music levels.
- Request edits. Describe the change precisely, such as “remove the third point” or “replace the opening sentence with this wording.”
- Export and watch on your phone. Check the final file before uploading it to TikTok.
Produce several videos together
Prepare a list of topics and source materials before generating. Give each video a separate brief so the drafts do not repeat the same points.
Review the drafts together for repeated introductions, incorrect details, or inconsistent branding. Estimate the credits needed for generation, revisions, and exports before starting a large batch. Check Wavemaker for current plan details.
Adapt videos for Reels and Shorts
A 9:16 video can also be used for Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts. Export from your creation tool, then prepare the title, caption, and audio for each platform. Check the current length limits and music permissions before uploading.
Keep text away from areas covered by platform controls. Watch a draft upload to confirm that captions and product details remain visible.
Review before publishing
Check names, numbers, product details, and any claims in the script. Confirm that the visuals match the explanation and that you have permission to use the uploaded footage, images, and audio.
Replace generic advice with details from your own experience. A tutorial should demonstrate the steps accurately, and a product video should show what the product does.
Common questions
Do I need a finished script?
You can start with a topic or URL and review the generated script. If you already have approved wording, provide it in the brief.
What format should I choose?
Use vertical 9:16 for a full-screen phone video. Check that captions and key visuals fit the frame.
Can I reuse a video on other platforms?
Yes. Review each platform’s length limits, caption placement, and audio permissions. You may need different edits or descriptions for each upload.
Will generating more videos increase views?
Views depend on the audience and the content. Compare completion, engagement, and relevant business actions across your posts to decide which topics to produce again.
