The recipe

How the videos are made

The same steps behind all 117 projects.

  1. Paste the script

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

    117projects behind the posts

  2. Keep one look

    44% of the videos use the Sketch color style. The same look on every post makes the channel recognizable in a feed.

    Sketch colormain style

  3. Captions on

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

  4. Post to 3 platforms

Opens Revid with the settings of “Did you know King Christian VII used "awkwardness" as a weapon? 👑😳 From "solo time" in meetings to playing leapfrog at banquets, he was the ultimate nightmare for his advisors. He didn't want a crown; he wanted a stage. 🎭🚫”. Change the topic or the script and generate.

How we measured this

  • Source: the posts of The Empire of the Ink's TikTok, YouTube, 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, Aug 30, 2026. Views and likes only grow, so every number here is a floor. 185 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 Aug 2025: 344 posts made with Revid against 55 other uploads. It describes one channel, not a controlled experiment.
  • Credits and generation times come from the 117 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.
