Top 7 Short-Form Video Trends in 2025
From the Desk of Eliott Wahba – Video Production Director, DolFinContent
1. AI-Driven Video Production is the New Standard
Video used to be slow and resource-heavy. Now, with AI tools integrated throughout every step—ideation, scripting, voiceovers, captions, and editing—brands can move at the speed of relevance.
"AI is transforming how we think about production timelines. It allows us to generate polished, compelling content in hours—not days."
– Eliott Wahba, DolFinContent
At DolFinContent, our AI-enhanced workflow drastically reduces turnaround time while elevating storytelling quality.
2. UGC Without the Guesswork
User-generated content builds trust—but executing it well takes strategy. Our team helps brands collect and edit authentic UGC, making it visually consistent and message-driven.
"We’re helping brands turn everyday customers into their most persuasive advocates—with structure, strategy, and scale."
– Eliott Wahba, DolFinContent
One DolFinContent-led UGC initiative resulted in a 45% month-over-month decrease in cost-per-lead while doubling engagement.
3. Captions-First Content for Silent Scrollers
Roughly 80% of social videos are watched without sound. We ensure every frame is soundless-optimized with dynamic text overlays, real-time captioning, and visuals that speak louder than words.
"Silent content is still powerful content—if it’s designed that way from the start."
– Eliott Wahba, DolFinContent
We specialize in sound-agnostic storytelling for maximum reach and inclusivity.
4. Behind-the-Scenes Content Builds Loyalty
Audiences don’t just want polish—they want personality. BTS footage fosters trust, especially when it reveals your process, your people, or your values.
"There’s unmatched value in simply showing how things get made. That transparency fosters real community."
– Eliott Wahba, DolFinContent
One of our BTS series helped a client increase social interactions by 310% in under two weeks.
5. Brand Challenges That Actually Convert
Branded challenges spark participation and scale organically. DolFinContent builds these campaigns to match your brand tone while maximizing trend potential.
"When done right, challenges can ignite a cultural moment—one that your brand leads."
– Eliott Wahba, DolFinContent
We create everything from the initial concept to the creative assets that fuel viral traction.
6. Story-First Campaigns Across Platforms
Stories on Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube are still thriving. Their temporary format drives urgency, and their vertical orientation feels native.
"Stories are your brand’s pulse. They should be short, snappy, and scroll-stopping."
– Eliott Wahba, DolFinContent
Our daily story packages help brands stay visible and relevant without needing daily filming.
7. Creators That Reflect Your Brand
You don’t need a celebrity—just the right face. We help brands source and direct creators who align with their identity and values, building authentic connection in under 30 seconds.
"It’s not about influencer hype. It’s about finding the right creative talent to represent your story authentically."
– Eliott Wahba, DolFinContent
We recently helped a luxury client grow 5,124% in TikTok views by refining their video creator strategy.
