Depends on the video, but anywhere usually between 1 hour and 3 hours. Because my content is mainly travel vlogs it completely depends on the footage I have available to me. You can't really go back and do take after take it's kind of a shoot and go style.

I love doing heavy editing and I think it makes my videos unique, so if appropriate I like to add special effects and things and editing those videos can take upwards of 15 hours. If I'm doing a storytime video or something though it generally takes me less than 2 hours.

2-10 hours depending on the complexity. Some have multiple video streams that I need to switch between. That takes time. It has to flow!

I usually try to keep my videos under 3 minutes, and those videos take about 2-3 hours to edit (if you count the research) - but I'm getting faster! :D

Sometimes it takes the entire day for me to edit a video and upload it. but i mostly pin that down as procrastination and lack of skill. :p

Depends on the video. Anywhere from half an hour to whole weeks!

In my case it is 40 to 90 hours per video, but I'm struggling to bring it down.

Depends on how involved the video is! Covers take awhile, but storytimes are a lot easier!

I usually spend any where from 20 minutes to 3 hours on editing depending on the video (I really like to add after effects to my rocket league videos)
