Definition
Short-form video refers to brief video content typically ranging from 15 seconds to 3 minutes, optimized for mobile-first social media platforms like TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, and Snapchat Spotlight. Short-form content is characterized by vertical (9:16) aspect ratios, fast pacing, eye-catching hooks in the first 1-3 seconds, embedded captions (since most mobile viewing is muted), and high engagement-per-second metrics. Short-form video has become the dominant content format, with TikTok users watching over 1 billion videos per day.
