How to automate TikTok news videos from RSS in 2026

A step-by-step guide to turning any RSS feed into a daily TikTok or Instagram Reels publishing pipeline with AI scripts, voice-over and auto-editing.

Short-form video drives the largest organic reach of any social format in 2026, but producing daily news content by hand is a full-time job. This guide walks through a fully automated pipeline that ingests RSS feeds and publishes finished 9:16 videos to TikTok and Instagram Reels — with editorial control kept where it matters.

1. Pick the right RSS sources

Choose feeds with high publication frequency, clean headlines and good summaries. News aggregators, official outlets and niche industry blogs work best. Avoid feeds that only publish titles without descriptions — the AI script writer needs context to write a strong hook.

2. Generate the script with AI

Each RSS item is rewritten into a short spoken script optimized for short-form: hook in the first 2 seconds, key facts, call-to-action. FeedReels lets you set the tone (punchy, factual, ironic…) and pick from 12 languages, each with native voices.

3. Voice-over or AI avatar

Pick a premium voice from the catalog, clone your own from a short sample, or render with an Argil AI avatar (30+ presenters available in the Avatar Studio). Consistency builds the channel — reuse the same voice or avatar across every video.

4. Auto-edit with captions

Auto-captions are non-negotiable: most TikTok and Reels viewers watch with sound off. FeedReels burns animated captions and renders vertical 9:16, ready for native upload.

5. Approval workflow and publishing

Every video lands in your queue with an email preview. Approve in one click and FeedReels publishes natively to TikTok and Instagram Reels via the official APIs — no third-party watermark. You can also set a configurable delay between articles to pace the channel.

Why FeedReels

FeedReels bundles all five steps into a single Swiss-hosted SaaS with per-video cost transparency. Connect your RSS sources, pick a tone and languages, approve once — and watch your channels publish on autopilot.

Frequently asked questions

Can I really publish TikTok videos automatically from an RSS feed?+

Yes. FeedReels watches the feed, writes a script per new article, generates voice and captions, renders a 9:16 video and publishes it to TikTok via the official OAuth — with a one-click email approval step before each post.

Do I need to film anything?+

No. You can use a studio voice over auto-edited broll, or an Argil AI avatar presenter. The Avatar Studio also accepts a one-off idea or script when you do not have an RSS source.

How fast is the pipeline?+

A new article typically becomes a finished video in around three minutes, capped at 90 seconds of output.
