TikTok is an unparalleled arena for direct collaboration with creators. And developers are committed to keeping things lively on the platform by introducing new effects and tools to encourage and promote content creation and interactions between creators.

The “Stitch” tool on TikTok is one of the relatively new additions to the set of interactive tools to bridge the gap between content and creators and bring them together under a creative pursuit. In this article, we will take a closer look at the Stitch tool on TikTok and the ways to use it.

Stitch on TikTok is a shortcut tool that lets you cut a selected portion of a video to use as an opening clip for your content. It’s TikTok’s invitation for users to interact with different creators and content with minimal fuss.

There are a few features that are unique to Stitch, the most important being the 5 second cap on the maximum length you can cut from your original video. The portion cut from the original in this way becomes the opening of your video, after which you can re-record the video to create a stitched video.
