I'll say around 10 seconds is the longest for an intro, unless it cant be cut down the 15/17 is the maximum.

Anything above 5 seconds is too much in my opinion, unless you have like 30+ minutes video.

3-5 seconds and no more then that unless it's something special and helps your brand recognition.

I think 15 or 10 sec intro best for channel presentation.

Between 5-7 secs is ideal.

I guess it depends on how long the intro is. I'm changing mine because who the heck wants to look at 10 seconds of floating 3d text with generic dubstep music.

Your intros everything for view time, if it isn't the perfect length then your going to have less view time.

Know your the age of your subs, try to find the right age of your subscribers, if they are young keep the intro short and sweet so they don't get bored while if they are 20-40 you can make it longer.

What type of content are you creating? If your making an intro say today you will be learning this(shows an example) so users know what they are in for and know if they want to know how to make it so they arnt surfing through the whole video trying to find what it will look like in they end.

Agreed, 3-5 seconds should be on that list. One of the easiest early mistakes to avoid is a long intro.
