I like the perspective of @dana2 and @jd1 that there really isn’t a wrong tool to use - just use what works for you whether that is a phone and app or a professional camera and desktop editor.

screen record trending sounds on TikTok on your phone then use it in Premiere to align video then send it back to your phone for posting

@jd1 so you have it landscape on your DSLR and then make it vertical in the software or do you put your DSLR on portrait?

I assume if you were to keep it landscape you can use the video for other things past tiktok.
