How to Automatically Create TikTok Videos

To auto-generate TikTok videos, you'll need a video generation API along with a dynamic data source. This source can be anything from a simple spreadsheet or a no-code platform like Zapier to API integrations or AI tools for text, image, or voice generation. Here's a brief overview of how it works, along with links to step-by-step tutorials.

1
Start with a TikTok video template

Whichever approach you take, you'll need a video template first. A template is the appearance of your video, and contains placeholder elements, such as captions, images, and video footage, which should be different with each TikTok video. In the next step, these placeholder elements will be mapped to dynamic data.

In order to get started, there are a number of pre-made video templates available, but it is likely that you will want to create your own video designs. This can be done using the video editor. This online tool allows you to completely edit and customize a TikTok video to your requirements.

Choose your automation method

Once you have your TikTok video template in place, you can automate it using one of the following methods:

The easiest way to get started is with the spreadsheet-to-video approach, which lets you create hundreds of TikTok videos at once. All you have to do is gather your video content into a spreadsheet. This content can be generated by AI tools or manually curated from existing data. For example, you can ask ChatGPT to generate a CSV file with hundreds of quotes for your videos. To get started, check out this tutorial.
To further automate the process, you can use a no-code tool like Zapier to provide dynamic content for your TikTok videos. Zapier integrates with over 7,000 apps, including ChatGPT, DALL·E, Creatomate, and Buffer. This allows you to build a custom automated workflow tailored to your specific needs. To learn the basics of auto-generating TikTok videos with Zapier, follow this tutorial. And for automating TikTok with AI-generated videos, check out this one.
Lastly, it is also possible to programmatically generate TikTok videos using code. You can use any programming language, such as JavaScript, PHP, Ruby, or Python, to generate tons of videos directly within your own software applications. To get started, refer to this guide.

Automatically generate TikTok videos

Generating TikTok videos is easy when you have the right tools. Whether you prefer using AI or not, you can choose the automation method that best suits your specific needs.

For example, you could use AI to create social media videos such as TikTok videos, YouTube Shorts, and Instagram Reels. Consider integrating a text generator like ChatGPT to write a video script, a voice generation tool like ElevenLabs for voiceovers, and an image generator like DALL·E or Stable Diffusion to produce relevant background clips and images. Once you've set up this Zapier workflow, simply input a video topic, and a faceless TikTok video, complete with animated subtitles, will automatically be posted to your channel.
