Short-form video ideas and formats for Australian businesses, with real edits from the 20CLIPS portfolio and notes on what each one shows.
The best short-form ideas usually come from everyday work: finishing a job, running a class, plating a dish, answering a client question for the fifth time that week. Australian businesses film these things constantly. What turns them into content is one clear point and an edit that removes everything else.
The eight formats below work with ordinary footage. Each can be made into a finished vertical video through short-form editing in Australia, with captions, sound and graphics added.
Show the problem, the work and the result in three quick cuts. Ideal for trades, landscaping, cleaning and renovation.

A few seconds of energy from a class, session or workshop, with captions naming what is being done.
A short introduction to the person behind the business, with b-roll of the work.
One customer question, answered clearly to camera in under a minute.
A fast sequence of the week's work, from deliveries to customers.
How something is made or prepared, shot close and cut to music.
A short recap from a market, launch or community day.
