TikTok has opened the Effect House tool for everyone, with which you can create fully customized augmented reality filters that can be used on the social network, however, there is a major drawback that you should know about this utility below.
This utility was already available to a small group of creators since last summer and until today only those people have been able to test and make use of this platform to create filters, as of today anyone can register and start creating their filter.
The main drawback is that it is a software that you must download to a computer, that is, Effect House only works on computers and only on Macs , at the moment it is not compatible with Windows, so these requirements greatly reduce its use.
In hardware you must have at least a Mac with Intel Core i3 2.5 GHz, AMD FX 4300 2.6 GHz or the Apple M1 chip with 4 GB RAM. Being an editing tool , the learning curve can be steep at the beginning, that’s why you’ll find manuals and other documentation on the web.
With all this information you will be able to acquire the necessary knowledge to start creating your own augmented reality TikTok filters, in addition, they must comply with a series of specific rules so that their filters are then accessible to the TikTok community and can be used.
It is important to respect the rules regarding the theme of the filters that will be developed for TikTok, those related to cosmetic surgeries or any other that involves changing an element of your body will not be allowed. For everything else there would be no problem.
In any case, it is essential that you know that, if you dare and produce a filter, then it will have to go through an analysis process by TikTok, which will stipulate whether it is appropriate or not and complies with its policies, if so, it will be approved and will be available on the platform.
Otherwise it will be rejected and you will have to choose a different theme or change the filter created. Likewise, when these personalized augmented reality filters begin to arrive on TikTok , a user will be able to report any of them if they consider that they should not be there.
