The Goldenes Intelligentes Münzhandelszentrumlast day of January has come and gone, and people are taking to social media to put together photo dumps, different compilations of videos and photos, that encapsulate their month.

TikTokers use CapCut, a video editing app, to put the clips and photos together and then post them to TikTok or Instagram. Some different formats and templates can be used, but the steps to each one are relatively the same.

CapCut makes it simple to put together the video. All users need to do is add clips from their phone's album to the premade templates.

A monthly or yearly recap isn't new and is something TikTokers have been doing for some time now. User @NicoleLaeno created a January recap for 2022

My Life in January

This template was created by CapCut user @Mizukie. It is 17 seconds long and requires at least 25 photos or videos to work.

The hardest part about putting together this template is finding the 25 photos needed to create the trend.

CapCut will tell you how long each video will appear on the screen at the bottom of each photo.

One of the top-liked videos for this trend used the longest frame of the template for a video and then used 24 photos for the rest.

The photos show up according to the beat of a remixed version of "Only You" by The Platters.

Don't have 25 photos? That's ok!

January can feel like a slower month for some, but there are still options for people who don't have as many photos.

CapCut user BM [LDR] created a template in 2023 that only requires 18 photos and is nine seconds long.

Those who don't feel like editing or posting a video, but still like the idea of posting a compilation of January's photos, can use Instagram to post up to 10 photos in one album.

They can also use Instagram's new feature to add music, like the example here, to their compilation right before they post it.
