TikTok Integration

Overview

Clip is an AI video editor that turns long recordings into short clips you can edit and post to TikTok. You upload a long recording, Clip's AI finds the highlight moments, and you refine each clip in a full editor before deciding — yourself, every time — whether to publish it.

This page explains how Clip uses each TikTok developer product, what data is involved, and the controls you have. In short: every TikTok action in Clip is started by you, applies to your own account, and handles one video at a time. Clip has no scheduling, no bulk posting, and no automation of any kind.

Login Kit · scope: user.info.basic

Clip uses TikTok Login Kit to let you connect your TikTok account with a "Continue with TikTok" button.

How it works

Clicking "Continue with TikTok" sends you to TikTok's own login and consent screen. You approve (or decline) the connection there — your TikTok password is never entered into, seen by, or stored in Clip. TikTok then returns a secure token and your basic profile to Clip.

What Clip receives, and why:

Display name and avatar — shown inside Clip so you can see which account is connected
An account identifier (open ID) — so your clips post to the right account

That is the full list. Clip does not request access to your followers, messages, watch history, or any other TikTok data. The access token is stored locally on your own device, as described in our Privacy Policy, and is used only to operate the features on this page.

Share Kit

Clip uses Share Kit to hand a finished clip over to TikTok, where you complete the post inside TikTok itself.

How it works

When you tap "Share to TikTok" on a clip you've edited, the video is passed to TikTok and opens in TikTok's own composer. From there, everything happens in TikTok: you add the caption, sounds, and effects, choose who can see the post, and decide whether to publish it at all. If you back out, nothing is posted.

Sharing is always started by you, covers exactly one video at a time, and only ever involves videos you created and edited in Clip.

Content Posting API · scope: video.publish

Clip uses the Content Posting API (Direct Post) so you can publish a finished clip to your own TikTok account without leaving the editor.

How it works

When you click "Post to TikTok", Clip first fetches your creator info from TikTok and shows you your real posting options — including who can view the video (public, friends, or only you) and, where applicable, whether comments, Duet, or Stitch are allowed. You type the title, pick the privacy level, and confirm. Only then is that single video posted to your connected account.

Boundaries Clip is built around:

Every post is an explicit, one-at-a-time action you take — nothing is ever posted automatically
No scheduling, queuing, or bulk posting exists anywhere in Clip
Clip only posts to the account you connected — never on behalf of anyone else
The content is always your own video, edited by you in Clip
Your privacy choice is honored exactly as TikTok reports it via creator info

Data & Your Controls

The only TikTok data Clip handles is what's described above: your basic profile (display name, avatar, account identifier) and the OAuth tokens that make the connection work. Tokens are stored locally on your own device. Clip does not sell this data, share it with third parties, or use it for advertising.

You can end the connection at any time, from either side:

In Clip — disconnect your TikTok account, which deletes the stored token immediately
In TikTok — remove Clip under Settings & privacy → Security & permissions → Apps & services (wording may vary slightly by app version)

For data deletion requests or any questions about this integration, contact us and we'll respond promptly. See also our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.
