TikTok Trend: How to Do the Zoom in & Zoom Out Surprise

We’ve seen a new trending type of shorts on TikTok. These videos usually involve a sticker with a line that reads "Zoom in (or zoom out) to see the surprise." When you zoom in, the message behind the sticker is revealed.

What is fun about this TikTok short is that you never know what's the message until you zoom out!

If you want to try out this trend, we will show you how it's done.

How to Do the TikTok Zoom Out Surprise?

To recreate your "TikTok Zoom Out Surprise", you don't need complicated video editing skills. You can use a built-in video editing tool on your phone, or a video editing app to help you out. 

In this example, we are using YouCam Video to do the surprise video.

Step 1: Import a Video

First, you can import a video with white background. This will serve as the surprise video base. Or just record a 10-second long video at a plain background (preferrably something white).

Step 2: Remove Background

Click on the feature 'Remove BG', which will create a plain canva effect. This is where you can change the color of the video and make it white.

Step 3: Add Emojis

Now, it's time to add some emojis to your video. Basically, you can add anything you like, as long as you leave the center blank.

Step 4: Add a Hidden Sticker & Text

Here's the fun part. You can add a hidden sticker or a line of text. These information will only be revealed after someone zoom in or out on your shorts.

We've broken down this step further, here's how:

  • You can find some cute stickers at the 'Sticker' section
  • Add a line of text right below the sticker, or anywhere around it is fine
  • Adjust the timeline of the sticker and text to fit the video length
  • Remember to put a line of "Zoom out for the surprise" at top of the hidden message

Step 5: Add this Video to TikTok

Upload this 10-second long video onto TikTok, and add a "Reaction Sticker" on it.

💡 Keep in mind that you need to insert a "Reaction Sticker" instead of a regular emoji. And make sure this sticker covers your hidden message. Then just hit next to post your video.
