TikTok launches TikTok Studio
TikTok Studio is a new comprehensive creation and management platform equipped with tools creators can use to create, edit, upload, manage and analyse their TikTok account and content performance.
Using your TikTok account to log in, creators can now upload, film, edit and post to TikTok directly from the TikTok Studio and use in-house tools to polish their content. Previously creators relied on third party apps like CapCut to edit their videos before uploading them to the platform.
TikTok Studio replaces creator tools, and it is hoped that the new platform helps creators take complete control of their account operations.

TikTok's new AI suite, Symphony
TikTok has recently revealed its new creative AI suite called Symphony, at its 2024 TikTok World Product Summit on Wednesday.
Symphony will be full of tools to help marketers write scripts, produce videos and enhance their current assets. For example, the new AI video generator helps generate TikTok-ready videos with just a few inputs from an advertiser and the new Symphony Assistant can help you refine scripts or write headlines for a new launch.
While TikTok continues seeing huge success, the fate of its future is still uncertain due to President Joe Biden signing the bill that forces parent company ByteDance to sell, if it does not want to be banned in the U.S.
