You probably wondered what they were about and how you could create your own videos using similar filters. This article will give you the low-down on TikTok's text-to-image "AI Greenscreen" filter and show you how to use it in your own TikTok videos.
TikTok's AI Greenscreen filter is an in-app, text-to-image generator. That means you can tell the app what green screen to create for you by simply typing in a word. The feature is quite basic but works well enough to give you an accurate filter to add a fun element to your TikTok videos.
What makes it even more interesting and unpredictable is that it can create unique artwork from your name. Simply enter your name in the text field, and it generates a personalized green screen to use as a backdrop for your video.
TikTok is always launching new and exciting features for creators to try. It's one of the factors that make TikTok such a good app and why it has maintained its popularity over the years. Creators are always looking for something new to wow their audiences and land on TikTok's For you Page—and the app always seems to deliver.
Using TikTok's AI Greenscreen filter is easy. You find and use it the same way you do other effects on the app.
Just open the app and tap the plus icon to create a video. Then, tap on Effects on the left of the Camera button at the bottom of the screen. Tap the magnifying glass icon and type "AI Greenscreen" in the search bar.
Look for the filter on the list of results—it's the one with a purple icon and the letters "AI" inside the box. Now enter your name in the text box under Enter a few words. When you're done, tap the Create button below it.
Wait while the app loads something unique and customized for you. Alternatively, you can type in any word you want to turn into a green screen for your video.
Complete your video or tap Create another to continue exploring. Repeat this process every time you want to use the AI Greenscreen filter. Better yet, save the filter after you first search for it by tapping the bookmark icon to make it easier to find and use in the future. You'll find the icon above the filter tabs.
