How to Make Reddit Story Videos with AI (Step-by-Step)

Reddit story videos dominate YouTube and TikTok because the stories are inherently compelling. Subreddits like r/AmITheAsshole, r/MaliciousCompliance, and r/tifu provide an endless supply of dramatic, relatable, and entertaining narratives.

These videos are cheap to produce, endlessly scalable, and perfectly suited for faceless channels. The format is simple: a narrator reads a Reddit post over gameplay footage or stock clips, with animated subtitles.

Channels like Reddit On Wiki and similar accounts have built audiences of millions using this exact format.

Step 1: Find compelling Reddit stories. Browse top posts in storytelling subreddits. Look for stories with high upvotes, strong emotional hooks, and clear narratives.

Step 2: Adapt the story for video. Shorten the story to fit your target length. Add a strong hook at the beginning. Remove unnecessary details while keeping the emotional arc.

Step 3: Generate with FluxNote. Paste the adapted story into FluxNote. Select a narrator-style AI voice with good pacing.

Step 4: Add engaging visuals and captions. FluxNote matches footage to the story and adds animated subtitles.

Step 5: Export and upload. Export in the right aspect ratio and upload with a curiosity-driven title.

- Choose stories with clear conflict — drama drives engagement and comments
- Add your own commentary at the end — it builds audience connection and adds originality
- Use cliffhanger hooks like "Wait until you hear what happened next..."
- Create series content — "Reddit Stories Part 47" builds return viewership
- Credit the original poster in your description for good practice

- Copying stories word-for-word without any editing or commentary
- Choosing boring stories — not every Reddit post makes good video content
- Making videos too long — trim ruthlessly for short-form
- Using a monotone voice — pick an AI voice with good inflection for storytelling
- Not adding a hook — start with the most dramatic part of the story
