What goes into every video
The format that took over TikTok is simple, and the details are what make people stay to the end. MyShorts handles all of them, and you can change any of them.
- A real-looking Reddit post card
- Subreddit, username, upvotes, comment count and age, in a light or dark card. Upload a subreddit icon if you want one.
- Top comment cards
- Add the best replies as comment cards, each read in a second voice, with the commenter's name and points.
- AI voices you can hear first
- Every narrator voice has a play button, so you pick by ear, not by name. Comments can use a different voice.
- Word-by-word captions
- The same caption templates as MyShorts clips, from Karaoke to Comic Beast, timed to each spoken word, in your own font and colours.
- Gameplay that fits the format
- Subway Surfers and Minecraft parkour by default, with Roblox, Fortnite, Valorant, PUBG and more a pick away. A different stretch plays behind each video.
- Fresh stories every time
- Surprise me never gives you a post you've already made, so a daily posting habit doesn't turn into reruns.
Story subreddits that work best
These are the subreddits in the one-tap list. Each has a recognisable shape, which is why viewers keep watching.
- r/AmItheAssholeAITA stories: someone explains a conflict and asks strangers who was wrong. The comments' verdict makes a natural ending.
- r/AITAHThe faster, wilder sibling of AITA, with shorter posts that fit a one-minute Short.
- r/TrueOffMyChestConfessions people never said out loud. Quiet, personal and very rewatchable.
- r/relationship_advicePartners, exes and red flags. Strong hooks and a question viewers want to answer.
- r/tifuToday I messed up, in detail. Built-in comedy with a clear payoff.
- r/pettyrevenge and ProRevengeSmall wrongs, perfectly repaid, and long-game revenge with a satisfying final beat.
- r/MaliciousCompliancePeople following the rules exactly, with consequences everyone saw coming but the boss.
- r/BestofRedditorUpdatesStories with the update everyone waited for, ideal for longer two-part videos.
Questions
What is a Reddit story video?
A short vertical video where an AI voice reads a Reddit post aloud over gameplay footage, usually Minecraft parkour or Subway Surfers. The post title appears as a Reddit card and captions follow each word, so it works with the sound on or off. It's one of the most common faceless formats on TikTok, YouTube Shorts and Instagram Reels.
How do I make a Reddit story video with MyShorts?
Sign in with Google and press Surprise me. MyShorts picks a top post from a popular story subreddit, tightens it into narration and shows you a preview. One more click renders the MP4. You can also paste a specific post or subreddit link, write a story with AI from a premise, or paste your own text.
Is it a Reddit TTS video maker?
Yes. The narration is text to speech with natural AI voices. You can play a sample of every voice before you choose, use a second voice for comment cards, and edit the text of any line before it's spoken.
Can I make AITA story videos?
Yes. r/AmItheAsshole and r/AITAH are one tap away in the trending list, and you can add the top comments as cards so the video ends on the internet's verdict.
Will I get the same story twice?
No. Surprise me and the subreddit picks remember which posts you've already turned into videos and won't give you one again.
Is the Reddit video maker free?
You can start free: signing in creates an account on the free plan, which includes a number of clips each month. Paid plans add more clips. The current allowances are on the pricing page inside the app.
What size are the videos?
Every video is a vertical 9:16 MP4 in Full HD or sharper, with the captions burned in, ready for TikTok, YouTube Shorts and Instagram Reels. Download it and upload it wherever you post.
Can I use any Reddit post?
You can paste any public post. Stories belong to the people who wrote them, so rewriting them into your own narration, crediting the subreddit, or writing an original with AI is the safest approach, and each platform has its own rules on reused content.
