  • Calm, confident face: a slight smile or hand on the chin, eyes to camera. Never a shock face. The face sells trust, the scene sells the click.
  • Dense, layered scenes: desks, multi-monitor walls, real editing timelines, a robot at the next desk. Cinematic warm and teal light with real depth.
  • The tool logo is a big glossy 3D app icon with a glowing rim, placed IN the scene (on the desk, in his hand, on a pill), never a flat sticker.
  • UI pieces as props: a frosted pill like "22min" with a spinner, a yellow playhead, a cursor or hand clicking. Text is 1 to 3 heavy white words, often next to the icon.

What actually wins
in my lane

43 real outlier videos about AI experiments, Claude Code, vibe coding and AI head-to-heads. Every one did at least 3x its own channel's median in the last 12 months. Here is what they have in common, then my two packs built from it.

The 5 patterns

Tap any thumbnail to open the real video. The multiple is views divided by that channel's normal video. Small channels (under 20 videos) are marked.

1

AI vs AI split, logos as the labels, bright game footage, no face

16 of 43 winners

The two contenders are the two halves; the logo top-left of each half is the label; one side is visibly worse. No person needed.

3

Creator face on one side, AI logo with an arrow into a real screen, dark room

6 of 43 winners

Proof the AI touched a real tool: the timeline, terminal or chart is on screen and the arrow says the AI did it. The face sits beside it, calm or smiling.

5

The AI is the actor, or the finished world it built is the hero

5 of 43 winners

No creator in frame; a robot, an AI-headed character or the finished build fills the frame with a 2 to 4 word 'AI did this' line.
