How long...

[catman529]

Is too long for a turkey hunting video on YouTube? It involves calling in 3 birds, killing 2, and covers half of opening day and the entire following day. Right now it's at 26 minutes and I plan to finish editing it tonight. Be bluntly honest, should I cut some clips to shorten the video a little? Or would you sit through 26 minutes. Thanks

If its anything like most of your other videos I would probably watch 26 minutes of it .

No offense but a video on youtube? I can't watch past 10 minutes. Now on tv I could watch a 30 minute show.

Knowing its you I will watch it all. Bring it on brother.

Post a long and short version . Short version will get more hits.

 

[sure shot]

i would say 7-8 min imo

26 minutes would be too long for me to watch on YouTube. I'd also keep it under 10 min.

i would edit it myself

10 minutes is pretty long for the YouTube attention span. You'll get watchers amongst friends and family, but not much beyond, I predict.

Cut til it hurts.

I would think it depends on the viewers interest. I probably wouldn't watch a half hour of turkey hunting on YouTube, if it were local fishing for rockfish or deer hunting, I would. It depends on the individual. I would add, I get disappointed when videos are to short!

Thanks all for the input. Looks like I got some chopping to do. But will save the original for those who want to see the full version.

Oh, and I've watched a few 30 min YouTube videos myself. But they have to be good for me to sit through it.

Let us know when it is done

I agree with the short and long version. Knowing you from tndeer, I'll watch it all, but for most, over 15 minutes is a long video for the computer.

Still can't wait to see it though!!!

 

[catman529]

Got it down to just under 20 minutes and still chopping. Probably gonna go for 15 mins

The closer to 10 minutes the better. Heck, you will make use all my data plan if it is too long.

8-10 minutes. that's typically the length of a hunting show on tv, so you'd be about right.

For that long a video, you may need to add a few naked women to keep it interesting!

 

[catman529]

I got it to 15 minutes, if cut any more you would lose important parts of the hunt... Hope it's worth watching and thanks again to everyone for the input.

15 minutes should be good

If you kill 2 birds in it, then perhaps you could make a part 1 and a part 2 video.
