Business video blog ReelSeo.com recently featured a great post on whether video length can impact the potential virality of a video online.

As they point out, YouTube has become a place for much more than just cat videos and other short form content, as videos are now going viral all the time that range anywhere from 10 minutes to 30 minutes (eg. Cain’s Arcade or Kony 2012).

The lesson for video publishers? In general, you should forget about the length of a video and instead worry about making the video engaging throughout. But if it can be ’said’ with less time, then keeping it short is still a good idea.

Another important conclusion the article draws is that “What’s much more important now than the total length of the video is the first 15 seconds of the video. Those first 15 seconds must capture the viewer’s attention and set the stage for answering this question for the viewer: “Why must I watch this video?"… Set a high expectation and don’t let the audience down.”
