The 2025 State of Video Report reveals businesses are investing more in video and moving production in-house by using AI for scripting, editing, and captioning.

  • Engagement rates drop as video length increases, though longer videos can deliver more total watch time.
  • How-to videos are the most engaging across different lengths.
  • Lead gen forms are the highest-converting interactive video features, especially when placed at the end of a video.
  • Webinars and original series drive the most conversions, with videos between 30–60 minutes converting best.

Top video trends for 2025 include:

  • More in-house video production
  • Widespread use of AI in video creation and distribution
  • Greater investment in accessibility features
  • Continued focus on product videos, educational content, and webinars
  • Increased resizing of videos for different social platforms
