What metadata to edit to bypass TikTok?

Peti · Feb 28, 2023

Hi, got a question for those who successfully repost TikTok videos.

I want to repost content on TikTok without getting flagged by the algorithm. I've used CapCut to edit my videos using best practices recommended on this forum, such as mirroring, resizing, speeding up, changing colors, removing audio, etc...

But where I got stuck is the metadata. I've seen many people say that the metadata also has to be edited. I downloaded Exiftool so I can edit it but I haven't the slightest clue what to keep, change or delete.

I made a quick vid and placed the metadata in the spoilers before and after I edited the video with CapCut. Would appreciate it if you'd let me know what I have to modify.

Thanks in advance.

Don't ask..please

Here. Sorry.

I use a video editor that is separate from capcut. tiktok reads capcut code and it can separate the music. Look at how easily the two integrate.

Other than that, no one has a clue. People talk like they do but we are all speculating. I ask simple questions and no one can answer. I now know when one gets tiktok studio access. It was easy info and could easily be passed on. 10,000 followers.

TikTok owns CapCut

Thanks for the reply.

I know they own it but why does it matter? I am always logged out of CapCut so it's not connected to my TikTok account.

Can they communicate with each other even when I am logged out? Can CapCut send info to TikTok about what I edited or what the original video was before editing?

When you upload to tiktok, it is being read by the app. Programmers add signatures.

Damn... I really don't want to give up on CapCut since it makes it so easy, especially the text-to-speech feature.

So I got a couple of questions if you don't mind.

1- Do you know if it's the same if I edit and upload on PC? I am asking because I want to use these videos for testing products with paid ads. I don't upload these to organic TT accounts. it's 100% ads uploaded via the ads manager.

2- You also mentioned something about music. I only add text-to-speech in CapCut, the music is added in the ads manager to avoid copyright. Would this solve it?

3- What signatures does TikTok read? Correct me if I am wrong but as far as I know there are only 2 things that algorithms can read on a video. Which are the video itself and the metadata.
Since I control what shows on the video itself CapCut can't add anything there, so what remains is the metadata. I pasted a tag in the spoiler that CapCut adds in the metadata, but this can easily be deleted.
What remains after this that TikTok can read? Please let me know if I am wrong, I am not an expert on these things.

All speculation.

1. I used both and the results varied. I haven't used an SMM since. Not saying I won't but I haven't.

2. Not sure how it can because it's still the same code.

3. Not sure. We are all trying to figure out how to beat the code. You can hex edit program, add one more character and the program is broke. You can also replace code with the same amount of characters and it would appear to be modified, even if not noticed by our eyes. Unless you code...it's going to be hard to see it in code.

I suggest keeping detailed logs for a few days and see how it works.

Did either of you manage to implement better results since February, I too have been trying to figure out how to bypass Tiktoks checks.

I gave up on it. Shitposter through and through. I hope to get lucky. The stitch method never worked for me
