📱 How to make a TikTok or Reels video on your phone

TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts use short vertical videos. The key is to grab attention in the first seconds. With Escenko you can make this kind of video right in your phone’s browser.

Step by step

1. Open escenko.com on your phone and choose Easy mode if it’s your first time.
2. Choose the vertical 9:16 format. It’s the size TikTok, Reels and Shorts use.
3. Tap “Choose photos and videos” and pick them straight from your gallery.
4. Write a catchy text on the first scene, like a question or a short phrase. Those first 2 seconds decide whether people keep watching.
5. Use fast transitions like flash or zoom and “pop” text animations to add rhythm.
6. Add music and sound effects at the key moments.
7. Export the video and upload it from the TikTok or Instagram app.

Tips

• Keep the video between 15 and 30 seconds so people watch it to the end.
• Leave free space at the top and bottom: the apps place buttons and text there.
• Try templates like Top 5, Trivia or Day in my life — they work great on social media.

You don’t need a computer or expensive software: with your phone and a few minutes you can post professional-looking videos.
