FAQ

About tiktok video

Does TikTok need a different encode than Reels?

The safe delivery spec is the same: 1080×1920 vertical, H.264 High@4.1, capped bitrate, constant 30 fps. One output works for TikTok, Reels and Shorts.

Can I trim the clip in the same call?

Use create-social-video-clip when you also need a start and end time; this preset focuses on framing and encoding.
