- How to make those Reddit videos
you often see on TikTok and Instagram
in which they use text-to-speech voices.
- [Male Text-To-Speech Voice] What will people
be nostalgic for?
Social media, not because it's good,
but because whatever comes next will probably suck more.
- Well, in this video, I'm going to show you
how you can do this for yourself in just a few minutes.
To make a Reddit video,
we're gonna use Veed's online video editor.
To head over to Veed,
click on the first link in the description.
Now, we're in Veed's editor, and we're ready to get started.
In this case, I want to start with a blank canvas.
So, I'm gonna click on 'Blank Canvas.'
And now we're in the editor and we can get started.
So, I want to make a Reddit video and post it on TikTok,
so I need a nine by sixteen aspect ratio.
In this case, it's sixteen by nine, as you can see,
so it's a landscape. I want to change that.
To change the aspect ratio,
all you need to do is head over to Settings
in the left menu,
and on the 'Size,' open the menu and find TikTok.
Nine by sixteen, I'm gonna click on this.
And as you can see it changed the nine by sixteen.
So, next thing I want to do
is insert the images or screenshots from Reddit.
To obtain the screenshots from a Reddit post,
you can either use your smartphone
and head over to the Reddit app
and screenshotting the post you would like to use.
And after that, you simply send your screenshots
to your desktop,
or you can use your desktop device itself
and simply head over to Reddit on your browser
and make screenshots of posts just like this.
And just so you know,
these are the shortcuts you can use to make screenshots
on Mac and Windows.
To upload the screenshots, you can head over to 'Add Media'
in the Timeline menu, or you can head over to the left menu
and click on 'Media.'
Click on 'Upload a File'
and select all the images you want to add.
And now, as you can see, I uploaded the images.
Let's just change the background real quick to white
so you can see it better. There you go.
So, you can see them in the video canvas.
You can see them in the timeline menu.
They're back to back.
Every single file is in here that I want to use.
In the bottom timeline menu, you can click and drag
on one of the sides of the image layers
to extend or shorten the length of the images.
And if you click on a screenshot in the video canvas
you can use the side and corner options to resize it
and click and drag it from the middle to reposition them.
And just so you know, you can also crop the images
by clicking and dragging on the sides.
And if you want to see the rest of the images,
you can use the play it in the bottom timeline
and drag it over the other layers
and you can select the one you like,
resize them, and relocate them as well.
All right, now let's bring these screenshots to life
by creating text-to-speech fragments.
So to make this happen,
simply head over to 'Media' or 'Audio'
and click on 'Text To Speech.'
And as you can see, you can select a language,
a voice, and insert your text.
Now in this case, I want to save myself some time
so I'm going to copy and paste it.
I'm going to head over to Reddit
and copy this specific text. There you go.
And paste it in the text box.
Now, if we click on 'Preview,'
we can listen to what it sounds like.
- [Female Text-To-Speech Voice] In 50 years,
what will people be nostalgic for?
- Nice.
Now in this case, I want to change it to a male voice.
So, I'm going to select a 'Voice' and let's have a look.
Let's change it to Eric.
- [Male Text-To-Speech Voice] In 50 years,
what will people be nostalgic for?
- Nice.
I'm going to select it and click on 'Add to project.'
And now as you can see in the bottom timeline
the text-to-speech fragment is added.
Let's have a listen.
- [Male Text-To-Speech Voice] In 50 years,
what will people be nostalgic for?
- Nice.
All right, now let's zoom in a little bit.
I want to trend this to the exact point
where the text-to-speech fragment is going to stop.
So that's right around here.
There you go. Nice.
Now, if I hover from my mouse in between the empty space,
you can see a trash can.
If I click on it, it minimizes that gap.
And now we're going to do the exact same thing
for every single one of them.
So I'm going to head back to this specific thread,
search for social media. And there you have it.
So I'm going to copy this and paste it in the text box.
There you go.
And I'm going to add this to the project.
All right, so now let's have a listen.
- [Male Text-To-Speech Voice] Social media,
not because it's good.
- Nice.
Now, I noticed that the gap is a little bit too large.
So I want to trim this a little bit.
I'm going to use the play head and click on 'Split'
and then make this a little bit smaller.
There you go.
And drag this back to back.
- [Male Text-To-Speech Voice] Social media,
not because it's good,
but because whatever comes next will probably suck more.
- Nice. I like it. I like it.
And again, I'm going to trim this just to the point
where it's going to stop. There you go.
I'm going to click on the trash can
to minimize the gap again.
All right, now you can do this for every single one of them.
Now let's fast forward.
All right, so now as you can see,
I created the text-to-speech fragment
for every single screenshot.
And now I want to add a background video.
To add a background video,
you can either use a video that you created yourself
by heading over to 'Media' and clicking on 'Upload a File'
and importing your video that you created.
Or you can use Veed's stock video library,
which is incredibly easy.
You can search for any video that you like.
Make sure you have a pro account for this,
but it's very convenient.
Now for this Reddit video, I feel a nature vibe.
So I want have a nature video in the background.
So I'm going to select this one, simply click on it,
and it will be automatically added to the sequence.
As you can see, we added the background video.
It's already in the back, which is really nice.
Let's have a look.
- [Male Text-To-Speech Voice] 50 years.
What will people be nostalgic for?
- Nice. Amazing.
So again, you can use the side and corner options
to further crop or resize your video.
And last thing I want to do, I want to trim the ending
by simply selecting the layer and clicking and dragging it
to the point where the rest is going to stop as well.
And there you have it. So that's how easy it is.
And as I said, you can just easily click on the images
and just move them around just the way you like.
And just a pro tip, but on TikTok,
if you uploaded your video,
you often see the 'Like' option and the 'Share' option.
Make sure that your screenshots are not in the way
so it's not overlapping each other.
All right, so if you're satisfied with your Reddit video
you can click on the 'Export' button in the right top corner
choose your preferred render settings,
and click on 'Export video.'
And once your Reddit video is rendered
you can watch it back on the left.
- [Male Text-To-Speech Voice] In 50 years,
what will people be nostalgic for?
- Amazing. Nice.
So you can share your video with your friends
by heading over to the 'Share' option
and just using one of the share options.
Or if you want to download to your device
and simply upload it to TikTok or Instagram from there,
you can click on the download button,
click on 'Download MP4,'
and it should be in your download folder.
All right, so that's how you easily make a Reddit video
with text-to-speech.
I hope this video was helpful.
Have a nice day, and good luck.
