I have no idea what this means. I suspect that y'all are using the term POV and applying it willynilly and this is part of the problem.
POV is Point of View. The person who determines what a vid's Point of View will be is the vidder as the vidder is God for that vid. The vidder can establish a firm first person POV and that is then a CHARACTER'S POV or an OMNISCIENT third person POV where the narrator is unseen and all knowing. Many universe vids (like End of the World as We Know It) are Omniscient Third Person POV.
Sometimes you can play with a first person POV in a vid and either strictly stick with *just* what that person knows or you can open it up and for this one time and one time only - your first person characer knows everything and you have an Omniscient First Person POV. In the case of "Without You I'm Nothing" the vid starts out as a narrow First Person POV (Lex) and in the course of the vid he deduces and figures out things he shouldn't know or see (in canon) only to LOSE it at the end. His memories are ripped away along with his knowledge and his hope. Does it matter to me that most viewers do not get that was my intent? Not at all. Most viewers get what they bring to the vid but that does not affect the actual POV of the vid. That is their watching experience.
In that vid I played with POV and I did so deliberately. This is not meant to limit you. If you have an organizing concept - THAT is POV. That is all POV is. You are just calling it something else. This is semantics.
