The channel

African history shorts in French

The channel picks stories that are rarely told in school: the day Guinea said no to France, Samory Touré's resistance, the first president of Togo, the university of Al-Karaouine. Each script is written in French with a strong opening line.

Revid turns each script into a narrated vertical video with visuals for every line, and the channel posts it to YouTube, Instagram and TikTok.

The recipe

How the videos are made

The same steps behind all 366 projects.

  1. Paste the script

    Script to video voices the script and finds or generates a visual for every line.

    366projects behind the posts

  2. Keep one look

    100% of the videos use the Movie style. The same look on every post makes the channel recognizable in a feed.

    Moviemain style

  3. Captions on

    Words on screen in the Wrap 1 caption style, so the video works with the sound off.

  4. Post to 3 platforms

How we measured this

  • Source: the posts of Afrique Interdite's YouTube, TikTok, Instagram accounts that Revid synced through the platforms' official APIs after the accounts were connected for posting. A post counts as made with Revid when it was published from a Revid project; the rest are “other uploads”. One video posted to three platforms counts as three posts and one video.
  • Stats are as of the last sync, Nov 4, 2026. Views and likes only grow, so every number here is a floor. 329 posts (mostly Instagram, which rarely shares view counts with apps) have no view count: they count as posts, but not in medians, thresholds or the charts.
  • The comparison with other uploads uses medians over the same months, from Mar 2026: 438 posts made with Revid against 551 other uploads. It describes one channel, not a controlled experiment.
  • Credits and generation times come from the 366 Revid projects behind the posts. Dollar figures use the Growth plan rate, $39 for 2,000 credits. “Remix this video” reopens a project's settings without the creator's own uploads, voices or accounts.

Data pulled November 4, 2026. The index grows every day; numbers are refreshed on a schedule and the date above always tells you which snapshot you are reading.
