The app comes with a wide range of effects, allowing users to create funny, original, and good-quality videos. Douyin is known in the international scene as
TikTok
. However, despite being presented as the same product, they are not actually the same, as
there are some intricacies with this Chinese version
.
Create, edit, and share
Douyin and TikTok
share the same creators
and even
the same features
. Like TikTok, users of Douyin can
create 15-second videos
, add TikTok effects to them, and
share them publicly
. The app has a
wide selection of effects
, such as stickers, frames, slow motion, and other filters. You can even
apply music or change your appearance
, making it
popular for lip-syncing major hits or creating dance hits
.
Douyin’s
built-in editing tools
let you create videos even if you don’t have prior
video editing
knowledge. On top of that, videos created can be shared on
social media
, such as
,
, and
. It
also uses hashtags to create engagement on topics
. Additionally, it has a
live stream
feature. It also has a
live Q&A
and a built-in store where you can buy things.
Douyin, however, is a separate entity.
You can’t find the app on app stores outside of China
. Moreover, both provide different content. For instance, when you use Douyin to search for a popular TikTok user, you will only find an unverified account with some similar videos. Additionally, the app is heavy and can cause lag on slower devices, while its editing tools are only for
basic editing
and not professional.
A worthy alternative
Overall, Douyin can work as a
nice alternative
to popular
video-sharing
apps of today. The app provides
simple ways
to showcase users' creative talents in a short period. Plus, with added features such as live streaming and live Q&A, it can also be used as an effective marketing tool. It runs well if you’re in China, but if you’re not, you’re better off using TikTok.
