Video type | Ideal duration |
---|---|
Sales | 30 to 90 seconds |
Explainer | 90 seconds. Longer videos are fine if it suits your case |
Demo | Concentrate on one feature at a time. An under-a-minute hits the sweet spot. |
How-to | A minimum of 2 minutes is what most people expect, but we have created videos that are as long as 10 minutes. |
Webinar | Repurpose the webinars to under 2 minutes and showcase the expert opinion. |
Product | 1-2 minutes should do the job. Anything longer can be regarded as too salesy |
Onboarding | 1-2 minutes is ideal. |
