You Decide Stickman Videos: Let Viewers Pick the Ending in the Comments

What a You Decide stickman video is

Search "you decide" on Shorts or TikTok and you'll see the pattern: a stickman (you) finds $5 million in a car, a stranger offers a deal, the timer runs out, and the video stops on a choice. "Comment KEEP or RETURN." The next part opens on what most people picked.

It works because every viewer becomes a player. Commenting is the price of seeing what happens, and comments push the video to more people. People also come back for the next part, which is what grows a channel.

How to make You Decide stickman videos, step by step

1. 1

   Open Stickman and pick You Decide

   In Autoclips, open Stickman and pick You Decide at the top. It writes a thriller about "you" that ends on a vote.

2. 2

   Type the situation in one line

   Put a big number and a problem in one sentence: "A wrong bank transfer puts $7.3 million in your account." You can add how it should end: "End on a vote: keep it or report it?"

   Stuck? Click one of the suggestions under the box. Each one is a situation that already makes people want to vote.

   

3. 3

   Set the options

   Pick a length from 30 to 120 seconds, a voice (press Hear it), the language and how much moves: Stills, Key moments or Full motion. Use Cast to pick characters you've used before, so every part has the same hero. Keep On-screen text on: it shows the vote card at the end.

4. 4

   Plan, check and make Part 1

   Press Plan my video. Read the plan, ask for changes if you want ("A bigger twist in the middle"), then make it. When it's ready, post it to YouTube, TikTok, Instagram or Facebook from the app, or download it.

5. 5

   Count the votes

   Open the finished video and make the next part. Press Count votes from my posts to read the comments on your posts, or paste the comments in yourself. Pasted comments are counted on your device for free.

   The counting is strict on purpose: one vote per line or per person, a comment with both words doesn't count, and @names or #hashtags never count as votes. If it's a tie, you pick the winner.

6. 6

   Make Part 2 from the winner

   Tap the word that won. Part 2 opens on that choice with the same cast, the same places and the same narrator, and ends on a new vote. Keep going as long as people keep voting.

Using your own script with a vote

You can write the whole thing yourself. Switch on My script, paste your words and press End on a vote. Type the question (up to 40 characters, like "Keep it or sell it?") and two one-word answers. The narrator says only your words, and the card at the end shows your question and the two answers.

More on that in turn a script into a stickman video.

Let an automation run the whole series

Making each part by hand is fine for one series. For a channel that posts every day, set up a Story series automation and pick You Decide. Each run makes the next part and posts it. Here is what you control:

• Story ideas: your own list (used one per series, in order) or fresh ideas on a theme like Crime and Mystery or Money and Finance.
• Parts in each series: 2 to 20 (5 by default). The last part ends the story, then it starts a new series or waits for you.
• Counting votes: wait at least 1 to 48 hours (6 by default), and only count once there are enough votes.
• Ties or no votes: flip a coin, or always pick the first or the second choice.
• Steer every part: one line like "Keep it funny. No gore.", and up to 4 characters who star in every part.

The full posting setup is in stickman videos for TikTok and Shorts. For automation in general, see the automation guide.

15 You Decide ideas that get comments

Good ones put a big number, a time limit or a stranger in the first line, and end on a choice where both answers feel risky.

1. You find a bag with $2 million on the back seat of your Uber. Keep it or call the driver?
2. A wrong bank transfer puts $7.3 million in your account. Spend it or report it?
3. A stranger offers you $5 million to swap lives for a year. Accept or refuse?
4. Your uncle leaves you a casino and $9 million of debt. Sell it or run it?
5. A phone left in a taxi shows $4.2 million in crypto. Unlock it or hand it in?
6. You wake up in a bank vault with $50 million and no memory. Hide or call for help?
7. You have 24 hours to spend $1 billion or lose all of it. Go big or play safe?
8. A thrift store coat has a winning lottery ticket in it. Cash it or find the owner?
9. Your best friend wants half of the $3 million you found. Share or keep?
10. A stranger knocks at 3 a.m. and says he is you from next year. Open or ignore?
11. The elevator stops between floors and someone else is inside. Talk or stay quiet?
12. Your boss offers you $1 million to take the blame. Take it or say no?

Tips for more votes

• Make both answers tempting. "Keep the money or return it?" splits people. "Live or die?" doesn't.
• Use one-word answers viewers can type fast: KEEP, SELL, RUN, TRUST.
• Post the next part on time. If people vote and nothing happens, they stop voting.
• Say what won in the first second of the next part. It rewards the voters and hooks new viewers.
• Keep the same hero. Pick your character in Cast so the series feels like a show.
