How to make Reddit story videos for TikTok

Narrated Reddit stories over gameplay footage are one of the most reliable faceless formats on TikTok, Reels, and Shorts. Making one by hand — voiceover, caption timing, cropping, export — takes an hour in an editor. Here’s the whole workflow in four steps, no editing skills required, free to try.

1. Step 1

   Pick a story

   Paste a Reddit post URL and StoryTok imports the title, body, and stats — or write your own story. Relationship drama, AITA, revenge, and confession stories perform best; 300–550 words lands the ideal 2–3 minute runtime.

2. Step 2

   Choose voice, background, and captions

   Six neural AI voices (US and UK), a library of gameplay backgrounds (GTA, Minecraft, Subway Surfers style) or up to 12 of your own uploads, and word-by-word caption styling you can recolor and reposition.

3. Step 3

   Add the Reddit intro card

   An optional title card shows the post like a real Reddit screenshot — username, upvotes, comments — before the narration starts. It's the hook that stops the scroll.

4. Step 4

   Render and post

   One click renders a 1080×1920 60fps MP4 with narration and synced captions in about two minutes. Download it and post to TikTok, Reels, or Shorts — you own the video outright.

What it costs

• 3 free trial minutes at signup — no card. Enough for two or three real videos (trial renders carry a small watermark).
• After that, one-time credit packs: $5 for 20 minutes, $10 for 60 (~17¢ per one-minute video). No subscription, and credits never expire.
• Posting daily? Autopilot sources the day's top post from your subreddits, rewrites it into an original script, and renders it on a schedule automatically.
