Reddit story video maker
Reddit story videos (AITA, TIFU, relationship drama, scary stories) are one of the most popular faceless formats on TikTok and YouTube Shorts. BolCaps turns the text into a finished video: a natural AI voiceover, visuals for every scene and big animated captions.
Make a Reddit story video
How to do it
- Copy the story text. Use stories you have permission to use, or write your own.
- Open the Script to video editor and paste it in. Choose 9:16 for TikTok and Shorts.
- Pick an AI voice. Heart, Bella or Michael are clear US English voices.
- Press Generate video. BolCaps adds visuals, transitions and captions.
- Change any scene you want, then export the MP4.
Tips that get more views
- Start with the most dramatic line, not the title.
- Keep it under 60 to 90 seconds, or split it into Part 1 and Part 2.
- Use a slightly faster voice speed; Reddit stories feel slow at normal speed.
- Big captions in the center of the screen keep people reading.
Respect the original poster
Reddit posts belong to the people who wrote them. Remove usernames, change identifying details and, where you can, ask the writer first. Adding your own commentary or reaction also makes the video more original, which matters for YouTube monetization.
Limits, honestly
Script to video is free for up to 6 minutes of video per person per day. The visuals are AI pictures and stock clips with motion; you cannot paste a Reddit link, so copy the text in.
A simple Reddit story video template
- Hook (0 to 3 s): the most shocking line of the story.
- Setup (3 to 15 s): who, where, what went wrong.
- Build (15 to 45 s): the details and the twist.
- Payoff (45 to 60 s): the ending, or a cliffhanger for Part 2.
- Ask: "Was the OP wrong? Comment below." Comments push the video further.
Make it yours
Write your own short intro, react to the twist or tell the story in your own words instead of reading it word for word. It is more original, more watchable and safer for monetization.
Frequently asked questions
Is the Reddit story video maker free?
Yes, for up to 6 minutes of video a day.
Can I monetize Reddit story videos on YouTube?
Only if they add something original, like your own commentary, edits or reactions. A plain AI voice reading copied posts is often labeled reused content. Run the free monetization check before you upload.
Can I use a gameplay background?
Yes. Choose Edit my videos in the editor, add your own gameplay clip and put the voice and captions on top.
Which voice sounds most natural?
Heart (female) and Michael (male) are the most natural US English voices.
How long should a Reddit story video be?
For TikTok and Shorts, 45 to 90 seconds. Longer stories do better as Part 1, Part 2 and so on.
