AI Video Tools Transforming Small Businesses in 2025
Have you ever stopped to think how video remains one of the most powerful ways to connect with audiences? In 2025, brands and businesses are navigating new territory, where video continues to shine as an incredible medium for storytelling. Thanks to advancements in camera tech, sound, and affordable lighting, quality has improved substantially if we look back over the last 10 to 15 years. With that, we are now into a new era where we are seeing a rise of new AI tools to assist brands who want to take in-house some of those activities, such as editing or smaller components. This allows the main business to focus on business as usual while enabling their internal teams to create more content of their own content. While the larger work might be reserved for production companies to handle bigger video shoots such as live event filming and more professional setups of podcasts and case study videos, it is still good for any business to understand what are some of the tools that can help them also create some of their own content. Let us dive into these trends and tools.
The Rise of AI in Video Production What It Means for You
What if you could cut editing time in half while still delivering high-quality content? AI adoption in video production is surging, with 80 percent of professionals planning to integrate it by 2025. Projections show the market growing at 35 percent CAGR through 2030, reaching 99.48 billion dollars globally (source: Fortune Business Insights). For small businesses, this means efficiency gains, but also the need for pros to handle nuances like branding and compliance.
Filmmakers worldwide rely on this tech to automate routine tasks, freeing time for strategy. Imagine extending a scene that ended too soon or generating B-roll for a rush project, tools make it possible, but our team's expertise ensures it aligns with your vision.

Key AI Tools for Video Editing in 2025
Ready to dive into the tools? Here is a key strategy. Choose AI for speed, but layer in professional oversight for polish. We have curated a table of standout tools, including generators for B-roll, podcast edits, and bespoke charts. These assist on projects where clients film and edit internally, but remember, they excel for basics, not full bespoke creativity.
| Tool Name | Description | Release Date | Advantage Potential Use |
|---|---|---|---|
| ChartGPT | AI for generating custom charts from data prompts, supporting bar pie visuals. | 2023 (expanded 2025) | Automates bespoke graphs without design skills; helpful for corporate reports, but needs human input for accuracy and branding alignment. |
| Google Veo 3 | AI video generator that creates short clips from text or images, ideal for B-roll. | 2024 (Veo 3 update in 2025) | Generates quick, thematic B-roll for rush projects; useful when physical filming is not feasible, but lacks full bespoke control, perfect for supplementing expert shots. |
| Descript | AI-powered editor for audio video podcasts, auto-switches between cameras and removes filler words. | 2017 (AI updates 2025) | Automates multi-camera podcast edits for faster workflow; great for businesses handling internal editing, but pros refine for broadcast quality. |
| Riverside | AI tool for podcast video recording and editing, with auto-angle switching and clip generation. | 2019 (2025 AI enhancements) | Creates short clips from long podcasts; ideal for repurposing content, though AI struggles with truly bespoke narratives, use with storytelling experts. |
| Canva AI (Magic Studio) | AI suite for creating charts, images, and videos from descriptions. | 2023 (2025 updates) | Quick bespoke visuals like pie charts; useful for non-designers in small businesses, enhancing videos without After Effects expertise. |
These tools bridge gaps for smaller projects, but as my team has found, they are most powerful when combined with human creativity, think AI for initial cuts, us for the final polish.
In existing popular software like Adobe Premiere Pro, features such as Generative Extend take this further. This AI tool lets you extend clips by generating additional frames, perfect for scenes that end too soon without reshooting. It demonstrates how far editing has come, saving time on corporate videos while our expertise ensures seamless integration.
AI for Podcasts Growing Trend for Corporate Content
Podcasts are booming in 2025, with 504.9 million global listeners and video formats leading the way (source: Statista). If you film content and edit in-house, AI tools like Descript or Riverside can auto-cut between three cameras, detecting speakers for seamless switches. This speeds up production for thought leadership pieces, but remember, AI handles basics, not the bespoke storytelling that makes your brand stand out.
For micro-stories in podcasts or videos, their growing popularity is revolutionizing how brands connect with audiences quickly and effectively. A micro-story is a concise, engaging narrative, typically under 60 seconds, crafted to capture attention and deliver a message through bite-sized formats which is ideal for social media or quick brand updates. These short formats are driving engagement, and AI tools can allow smaller edits to be managed internally, leaving larger, more complex projects to experienced production companies.
Creating Bespoke Charts and Graphics with AI
What sets a corporate video apart and makes it unforgettable? Visuals like bespoke charts that bring your data story to life. Tools such as ChartGPT or Canva AI empower brands to generate bar or pie charts from simple prompts, eliminating the need for advanced skills like After Effects. These tools go beyond video content, enabling brands to craft compelling visuals for presentations, reports, and marketing materials, fostering a consistent and professional brand identity across multiple platforms.
Final Thoughts on AI in 2025
AI tools are transforming video production, from B-roll to podcast edits and charts, but they are tools, not replacements, for expertise. With trends pointing to 90 percent adoption by 2030 (source: Mordor Intelligence), now is the time to explore. As a small business owner myself, I know the value of blending tech with talent, our crew specializes in turning AI-assisted content into polished, brand-aligned results.
