In order to keep up with the 3D Zoom photo trend on TikTok. Then we did what everyone else did and contributed a total of 11 pictures. But, if you need to upload more images, then you can do so as well. Moreover, the photographs will be put to the film in the order in which you guys selected them. The first photograph that you selected will appear first, and the final one will appear last. As a result, arrange your pictures in the order you need them to appear in your video.
When you have selected all the photos you want to add to your 3D Zoom video. Click on the Add button at the bottom right corner. All your pictures will now be added to a new Capcut project as well.
Add “3D Zoom” style to your photos

- Whenever the selected picture is highlighted, swipe the bottom toolbar to the left until you guys come across the ‘Style’ option.
- Choose the ‘Style’ option from the bottom.
- This should open the Style section on Capcut as well. Click on the “3D Zoom” style from this section to apply it to the selected photo.
- Well, for some reason, we could only see the “3D Zoom” style from this section and nothing else.
- Capcut will now generate a “3D Zoom” styled clip of the photo that you applied the style on.
- You will also know that the “3D Zoom” style is applied to a photo if the ‘3D Zoom’ option is highlighted.

Shorten the clips
So, you’ve used Capcut to apply the “3D Zoom” effect to your pictures. If you’re happy with the results, then you can save your work through skipping this phase. However, if you want your video to be more active and keep up along with the viral trend, you may also opt to shorten the length of your tape.
- Each of your 3D Zoom-enabled photographs will last 3 seconds via default.
- If you included a lot of photographs, as we did, for a total of 11, then your 3D Zoom movie will be 33 seconds long. That is pretty long for TikTok movies in general. In reality, decreasing the playback time from 3 seconds to a fraction of a second will improve the aesthetics of your film.
- While you have the option of selecting any duration for your 3D Zoom clips. Then these are the settings to utilize if you want to follow TikTok’s 3D photo trend. Just make the first four clips 0.5 seconds long and the remainder of the clips 0.3 seconds long as well.
Note:
If you don’t feel compelled to follow the crowd, then keep all of your movies between 0.5 and 1.0 seconds to give each of your photographs more visibility too.
- Let’s assist you to get it done on Capcut now that we’ve explained why you guys should minimize the clip runtime for your video.
- Choose any clip from the timeline to highlight when you’ve applied the ‘3D Zoom’ option to all of the photographs. The default duration of the clip is 3 seconds, as you guys can see.
- To shorten it, just drag the end tab to the left until the time is low to 0.5s or 0.3s. Relying on the effect you want to apply. The further you guys move the end tab to the left on a clip, the shorter it will be.
- The runtime of a clip will also be display near its start tab at any time. We cut the first four clips to 0.5 seconds apiece and also the last seven to 0.3 seconds each in our situation as well.
Additional tip:
You can also pinch out the video timeline in order to accurately change the clip duration to the exact fraction. Zooming in on the video timeline doesn’t really increase the clip duration. However, it simply lets you establish the start and end tabs better.
You can click on the Play icon below the preview in order to check how the video plays and whether or not the effect has been applied properly. Whenever you have reduced the duration of all the clips, then it will look something like this. Now, you’re also ready to save your creation.

If you guys want the highest quality, select 1080p as the video resolution and 60fps as the frame rate as well. You can lower down either of these settings in order to save the video at your preferred setting. The ‘Estimated file size’ at the bottom will provide you a rough idea as to what your video’s end size could be.
