TikTok introduces Smart Split and AI Outline, its two new AI tools for editing short videos

TikTok has announced a set of new AI-powered tools that are intended to simplify the effort required to generate high-quality content and enhance the income potential of its community. Let us examine what these tools consist of.

New AI editing methods on TikTok

To make the creation process more efficient, TikTok has introduced Smart Split, an AI-powered editing tool now available globally on TikTok Studio Web. Smart Split is designed to take long-form content, such as a vlog or a podcast episode exceeding one minute, and automatically transform it into multiple short videos that are ready for the platform.

This intelligent tool is responsible for cutting, reframing, transcribing, and subtitling the content; however, creators retain full control to select video segments, choose specific durations, and adjust the subtitle formats and vertical reframing.

In addition, AI Outline is being launched as a key tool for overcoming creative block and improving planning. AI Outline assists creators by generating title suggestions, hooks, and hashtags based on a prompt or on popular topics identified in creators’ search statistics. By producing a detailed, fully customizable six-part outline, the tool provides a structure so the creator may refine the script idea and adapt it to their own style prior to recording.

Enhanced Monetization

Furthermore, in the area of monetization, TikTok has announced a significant change to its revenue-sharing arrangement for its subscriptions product. Now, creators who utilize this option to build stronger communities and offer exclusive content will see a greater return: they will receive 70% of TikTok’s revenue share.

Additionally, those who meet specific performance requirements—such as having 10,000 followers, 100,000 views in the last month, and having published at least three exclusive videos—will have the opportunity to unlock an additional monthly reward of 20%. This incentive structure enables the most dedicated creators to earn up to 90% of subscription benefit payments, significantly strengthening their income potential on the platform.
