how long should video intro's be?

[LikelyBrotherhood]

I'd say about 5 seconds. I mean, you could probably get away with no intro, but if you do use one, about 5 seconds should be best.

i would recommend about 4 seconds. Dont do a long intro unless it is fun to watch. Mine is just 4 seconds

7-10 seconds is good. Anything longer is just way too long.

8 seconds absolute max. Aim for 4 or 5 seconds. A long intro will stop people watching the video before it even starts.

I am currenly making an intro for my new aliens gameplay series and I dont know how long should video intro's be?, can any one help me in this time of crysis

No more than 10 seconds

Intros seem reasonable at 5 to 10 and outros 10 to 15.

I hate when people have long intros. 10 seconds max. I'm uncomfortable using an intro over 7 seconds myself.

As for outros, it really depends on the point of the outro, but I never find long outros annoying. They just give me more time to avoid the post-roll ads that lots of people seem to use these days.

i actually have 2 intros the machinima and my intro which lasts about 25 seconds for both but people enjoy it because of the background music

The shorter the better!
People clicked on your videosince they want to watch the content - not watch a boring 10-20 sec intro before they get what they wanted!

No longer than 10 seconds, 5 being ideal.
