Countdown list videos that write, narrate, and post themselves
A list video is a short countdown, like five myths you probably still believe, where each numbered item is one quick fact or story.
Run a faceless channel of narrated countdown shorts. Pick a topic, like famous misquotes, heists, or survival stories, and each episode counts down three or five real items with a number card for each one. Story Reels makes and posts them on your schedule.
Updated
What every Story Reels episode includes
Three or five items, each with a number card
Pick three items in 30 to 40 seconds, or five items in about 60 seconds. Each item gets a large number card on screen while the narrator counts down, with captions throughout.
No repeated item for a year, posted for you
Every item comes from a fixed library of real stories, not invented facts, and you won't get the same item twice within a year. Episodes post to YouTube Shorts, TikTok, Instagram Reels and Facebook.
Workflow
Open Commentary and List Videos and choose a list topic. Each topic shows how many videos it can make before an item repeats.
Pick the list length, a narrator voice in English (US or UK), an art style, and a caption look.
Connect your social accounts and set posting days.
Launch, and a new countdown episode is made and posted on each scheduled day.
Answers
What topics can I make list videos about?
There are 16 topics. Eleven cover myths and hidden origins: psychology, history, misquotes, science and nature, animals, pop culture, word origins, food, marketing, and everyday rules, plus a mixed topic. Five cover true stories: heists and true crime, survival, comebacks, frauds, and disasters.
How many items are in each video?
A 30 to 40 second video counts down three items. An episode of about 60 seconds counts down five. Each item gets its own number card on screen.
Will the same item show up twice?
Not within a year for the same account. Each topic shows how many videos it can make before that happens, so you can pick a topic that fits your posting schedule.
How much do list videos cost?
List videos are part of Story Reels: $40 per month includes one active series, and each extra series is $25 per month. You can build and save a draft series for free.
