The channel

Pop culture and science facts

The format is a list: five facts most fans never heard, in under a minute. It works on films people grew up with and on ideas that sound hard (relativity, in five ideas).

Revid turns each script into a narrated video with visuals, posted to YouTube, Instagram and TikTok.

The recipe

How the videos are made

The same steps behind all 164 projects.

  1. Paste the script

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

    164projects behind the posts

  2. Keep one look

    87% of the videos use the Ultra realism style. The same look on every post makes the channel recognizable in a feed.

    Ultra realismmain 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

    Every video goes out to YouTube, Instagram, TikTok from Revid, no download and re-upload.

How we measured this

  • Source: the posts of Open Topics's YouTube, Instagram, TikTok 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. 96 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 Dec 2025: 264 posts made with Revid against 126 other uploads. It describes one channel, not a controlled experiment.
  • Credits and generation times come from the 164 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.
