TikTok users are becoming the ‘main character’ with the new Slow Zoom filter that makes it look like you’re in a movie or a music video. Here’s how to try it for yourself.
With effects like the POV filter, the Comic Me filter, and more being added to TikTok by the day, more users are increasingly making the most of the selection of weird and wonderful filters that the app has to offer.
TikTok users love creating new trends out of these often quite random filters, and a lot of the time, these trends will be paired with certain ‘Sounds’ that can be accessed through the app.
The latest effect people are going crazy for is named ‘Slow Zoom,’ and as the name suggests, it allows people to press play and start a gradual zoom that looks like something out of a music video.
