Overview

TikTok Slideshow videos are perfect for storytelling with multiple images or clips, each with custom text overlays. Ideal for product showcases, tutorials, and social media content.

​
Basic Slideshow

const response = await fetch('https://api.hooked.ai/v1/project/create/tiktok-slideshow', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
    'x-api-key': process.env.HOOKED_API_KEY,
    'Content-Type': 'application/json'
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    name: 'Product Showcase',
    slides: [
      {
        media: 'media_001',
        texts: [
          {
            text: 'New Product Launch',
            fontSize: 16,
            x: 0,
            y: 43.13,
            width: 187,
            height: 36,
            color: '#ffffff',
            textAlign: 'center'
          }
        ]
      },
      {
        media: 'media_002',
        duration: 3,
        texts: [
          {
            text: 'Available Now!',
            x: 0,
            y: 43.13,
            width: 187,
            height: 36,
            fontSize: 36,
            color: '#00ff00'
          }
        ]
      }
    ]
  })
});

const data = await response.json();
console.log('Video ID:', data.data.videoId);
console.log('Project ID:', data.data.projectId);
Each slide requires a media field with the media ID from your media library. The media must already be uploaded to your account.

Tips for TikTok Slideshows

Keep slides short: 1-10 seconds per slide works best for engagement (default: 3 seconds)
Use high-contrast text: Ensure text is readable on all backgrounds
Coordinate positioning: For 9:16 format, canvas is 1080x1920 pixels
Add voiceover: When using script, avatar, and voice together, they create engaging voiceover content
Layer text properly: Use zIndex to control text stacking order
Media IDs only: Each slide only needs the media ID - the media must already be uploaded to your account

​
Canvas Dimensions by Aspect Ratio

When using custom text positioning, remember these canvas sizes:
Aspect RatioCanvas SizeBest For
ratio_9_161080 x 1920TikTok, Reels, Shorts
ratio_16_91920 x 1080YouTube, horizontal videos
ratio_1_11080 x 1080Instagram square posts

​
Text Positioning Guide

// Example: Create a text box in the top-right corner (9:16 format)
{
  x: 580,        // X position from left
  y: 100,        // Y position from top
  width: 400,    // Width in pixels
  height: 200    // Height in pixels
}

// Example: Full-width text at bottom
{
  x: 100,
  y: 1650,
  width: 880,
  height: 150
}

// Example: Centered text box
{
  x: 290,        // Roughly centered horizontally
  y: 860,        // Roughly centered vertically
  width: 500,
  height: 200
}

  if (status === "COMPLETED") {
    const { videoId, status: videoStatus, url, shareUrl } = data;
    console.log('Slideshow completed!');
    console.log('Video ID:', videoId);
    console.log('Download URL:', url);
    console.log('Share URL:', shareUrl);

    // Save to your database, notify team, etc.
  }

  res.status(200).send('OK');
});
