As the title says, I really wonder what should be the maximum or tolerable length of the posted video?

What I realised is, when I am editing my videos, 3-4 minutes is just “OK”  timing from my point of view but when I watch the others video honestly speaking, I am losing my attention after 30 sec or 1 minute,  unless it is very ,very attractive or unusual footage.

So, I am guessing most (or some) of us just watching first few second of the video then pull the slider to the right and glanced through rest of the video.

For sure, we cannot expect all we could watch all the videos till to the end and not all the videos could be attractive to watch as well but there should be a kind of “unwritten optimum” timing that can make the viewers comfortable to watch any video.



Can I have any advice from you guys and gals?



P.S Couldn’t figure it out where this thread should be posted, if I am in the wrong place, my apology.

I think it is depends on the content. If it is a review, I think 5 or more than 5 minutes is fine. However, if it just a work display, like the landscape video or something like that, maybe less than 3-4. As I know, people always add everything together in their video, too much extra stuff.

1 minute is enough, unless you mix in some ground footage. Then you could go up to 5, maybe even 10 minutes
