    Video length - the shorter the better?

    So, I have always made nice and short video, maybe around 2-3mins area for what I do.

    Are short videos better?

    I try to keep my videos pretty short. My goal is no longer than 5 minutes and preferably 3 minutes if possible. I have a standard setup for each video.

    Does a 15 sec video scene face the risk of copyright claim?
