Dead workflow

The Old Way of Making Faceless Videos is Dead.

You spent hours scrubbing for hot threads, pasting scripts into TTS tools, hunting royalty-free gameplay, fighting with CapCut timelines — and STILL got a copyright strike. Every step bleeds time and risks your channel.

The First Auto-Sync Reddit Workflow

Two features everyone else is missing: a live trends dashboard and a zero-friction import pipeline. Together they compress a full day of editing into a coffee break.

Feature 01

The Live Trends Dashboard

We hook into Reddit's core story subreddits — r/AmItheAsshole, r/TrueCrime, r/scarystories, r/relationship_advice, r/TIFU. What you see on the dashboard is what the whole internet is arguing about right now. Pre-validated virality, delivered hot.

  • Refreshed every 60 minutes with live upvote velocity
  • Filter by Hot / Today / Yesterday
  • Full-text search across titles & subreddits

Feature 02

The "One-Click to Video" Magic

No re-typing. No re-formatting. The original post's title, body, and narrative beats are injected into our script engine; the AI cuts, paces, and lays out the scenes automatically. You land inside the studio with a finished draft.

  • Reddit title → hook opener
  • Post body → auto-chunked scene script
  • Author + avatar → attribution card
  • Subreddit → tone & pacing preset

Frequently Asked Questions

Who owns the videos I create from Reddit posts?

You do. Every video rendered inside MakeShort is 100% yours to use commercially on TikTok, YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, and Facebook Reels — no extra licensing, no royalties, no credit required. We only surface the Reddit stories for inspiration; the final audio, captions, and gameplay mix belong to your account.

Is it safe to monetize Reddit story videos on YouTube?

Yes, when you use our generator correctly. MakeShort pairs every story with our licensed parkour / satisfying background library and a unique AI voice track, so your video is transformative and monetization-safe. Most creators turn on Shorts monetization the same week they publish their first batch.

How many languages and voices do you support?

We support 29+ languages and 400+ AI voices powered by ElevenLabs-grade models. You can clone a Reddit post once and export it in English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Japanese, Korean, and more — perfect for faceless channels running multi-geo accounts.

What is the expected viral-hit rate for Reddit-based Shorts?

Creators using the live Reddit Trends Dashboard report 5–10x higher hit-rates vs. cold scripting, because the emotional hook has already been validated by tens of thousands of Reddit upvotes before you click "Use to Video". We recommend posting 2–3 videos per day to compound the algorithm boost.

Do I need video-editing skills or a prompt-engineering degree?

Neither. The Trends Dashboard auto-fills the entire script, narrator, captions, and background for you. If you can scroll Reddit, you can publish a faceless Short in 3 minutes. No timelines, no layers, no prompt wizardry.

How often is the Reddit Trends Dashboard refreshed?

Every 60 minutes. We crawl r/AmItheAsshole, r/TrueCrime, r/scarystories, r/relationship_advice, r/TIFU and more — re-ranking by live upvote velocity so you always see what is heating up today, not last week.
