Stickman Videos for TikTok and Shorts: Make, Post and Automate Them

The right shape for each platform

All three short-video feeds want the same thing: a vertical video, captions, and a reason to keep watching in the first two seconds. The differences are small.

Autoclips Stickman videos are always vertical 9:16, with captions and on-screen text you can switch on or off, so one video works on all three.

How to make and post stickman videos for TikTok and Shorts

1. 1

   Make the video

   Open Stickman, pick a format, type one line, set the length (60 to 90 seconds for a story) and press Plan my video. Keep Captions and On-screen text on: most people scroll with the sound off. Full how-to: AI stickman video generator.

2. 2

   Connect your accounts

   Under Connect Socials, connect TikTok, YouTube, Instagram and Facebook. You only do this once.

3. 3

   Post it

   When the video is ready, post it to the accounts you want from the app, or download it and upload it yourself. Write the caption as the hook ("He sold a rock for $4"), not the topic.

4. 4

   Create a Stickman automation

   Go to Automations, create one and pick Stickman. Choose a mode: Explainer (a deadpan narrator, 30 to 90 seconds), Skit (a ten-second gag) or Story series (a story told in parts).

   Set the name, how many videos a day, the posting time and your timezone.

   

5. 5

   Set up the series

   For a Story series, pick You Decide, True Story or Character Speaks. Choose where ideas come from: your own list, or fresh ideas on a theme like Crime and Mystery or Space and Cosmos. Set 2 to 20 parts per series, and what happens when it ends: start a new series or wait for you.

   Then pick the video settings once: length (30 to 120 seconds), motion, narrator, reading speed, language, captions, look and music. Every part is made with these.

   Turn on posting

   In the Publishing step, switch on each account you want it to post to. If the switches are off, new videos only go to your library, which is a safe way to check the first few before going live.

How votes work on each platform

In a You Decide series, each part ends on a two-word choice. Before it makes the next part, the automation reads the comments on your posts and counts the votes.

• Readable: TikTok, YouTube, Instagram and Facebook comments.
• Not readable: X and Snapchat comments. Private YouTube videos get no comments.
• Timing: it waits at least the hours you set (1 to 48, 6 by default), and counts at your next posting time once a part has been up that long.
• Ties and no votes: flip a coin, or always pick the first or second choice.
• Fair counting: one vote per person, your own comments never count, and a comment with both words is ignored.

A posting schedule that works

• One a day, same time. Consistency beats volume for a new account.
• Give votes time. A once-a-day series with a 6 to 24 hour vote window gives people time to comment before the next part.
• Post to two or three platforms, not all of them. Pick where your audience is and keep comments readable.
• Change one thing at a time (hook, length, look) and watch what happens over a week.

Hooks that stop the scroll

1. Lead with the number: "$7.3 million lands in your account by mistake."
2. Lead with the threat: "Don't open the door at 3 a.m."
3. Lead with the choice: "Keep the money or return it? You decide."
4. Lead with the twist: "He traded half of Domino's for a used car."
5. Open Part 2 on the result: "You picked RUN. Bad idea."
