70 billion Shorts views a day, two hours of daily watch time: short-form is where audiences live

In an era where video gets consumed faster than ever, virtually everyone — creators, YouTubers, marketers — has felt the pull of short-form video at some point.

Short, punchy videos on YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, and TikTok deliver far more reach, and their power to drive channel growth is already proven.

YouTube Shorts now averages 70 billion views per day, short-form accounts for 88% of total YouTube views, and in fast-growing markets, annual Shorts view growth is approaching 90%.

App usage data tells the same story: YouTube consistently ranks at the top among platforms serving short-form content, and within it, Shorts is growing at an overwhelming pace.

So here's the question: are the people closest to short-form — solo creators, YouTubers, marketers — actually making the most of it?

Why short-form production is harder than it looks

Everyone understands that short-form matters. The reality, though, is that finding the time to actually produce it is hard.

✔ For the solo creator handling everything from filming to editing to uploading,
✔ and for the marketer juggling campaigns, content planning, and performance marketing, short-form production is an inevitable burden.
✔ Outsourcing the editing is expensive, and revision requests and creative alignment eat up even more resources.

In fact, in a survey of creators,
"production takes far too long" ranked as the single biggest pain point.
Production cost also emerged as one of the main barriers to getting started with short-form.

On top of that, creators pointed to another frustration: working hard on short-form content that never goes viral.

That usually comes down to a missing strategy — not knowing which moments will grab viewers' attention, or how to structure the edit so it actually hooks them.

Saving time and cutting production costs: the biggest reasons customers choose FikaClip

FikaClip was built around exactly these problems.
We set out to find a way to produce short-form video while saving both time and money.
The result: an AI-powered platform that turns your source video into finished short-form clips with a single click. Customers use it for three big reasons.

1. It maximizes efficiency by saving massive amounts of time.

With FikaClip, production time drops to roughly 1/100th of what it used to be.

For example, producing 2–3 Shorts — from planning through cut editing, captioning, and sound effects —
used to take an average of 400 minutes.
👉 With FikaClip, that shrinks to about 3 minutes.

Captions are inserted automatically using speech recognition,
so there's no typing subtitles line by line — and production time drops dramatically.

2. The cost per video is extremely low.

Outsourcing a batch of short-form edits runs about $145,
while FikaClip costs about $4 — a roughly 40x saving.

On a per-clip basis, outsourced production costs $15–$36 per Short,
👉 while on FikaClip's Pro plan, a single Short costs about $0.30.

3. Automation makes consistent uploading actually sustainable.

The viral upside of short-form translates directly into KPIs for marketers and revenue for YouTubers and creators. And maximizing that upside requires a consistent upload cadence —
which becomes far easier to maintain with an automated system.

Looking at actual results from FikaClip users,
👉 views increased about 2.2x and watch time about 1.4x.

It goes beyond producing a single video — it lifts channel performance across the board. Views, watch time, and subscriber counts all show meaningful, measurable gains.

Put your existing content library to work as short-form

FikaClip is just as valuable for businesses looking to efficiently convert content across multiple channels as it is for individual creators and YouTubers.

Broadcasters, education companies, and commerce platforms in particular often already own a deep library of channels and long-form video assets.

For teams like these, a service that automatically converts long-form into short-form means producing dozens — even hundreds — of short-form clips at remarkable speed.

Don't let the content you already own sit idle — start turning it into short-form video today. Save time and money while unlocking more reach and more viral moments.
