Longer videos ?

Post by jacek »

So YouTube just told me
Congratulations! Your account is now enabled for uploads of longer than 15 minutes. Click the Upload button below to select a video.
I guess there is no limit as there is no one mentioned.

So would you prefer parts still or 3 hours of non-stop me jabbering on ?

Unless this is a bug :lol:

I've seen 6 hour long videos, doubt there is a limit :lol:

You could make the parts a little bit longer, I don't mind a 20 minute video but 30+ minutes is to long for me.

Long videos are nice since it saves me from going back to your channel to view the next part, but I love the sudden breaks you take, you always crack a comment or something that makes me laugh. And several videos = more views for you = more subscribers = bigger channel = bigger forums. So its entirely up to you, really.
Save your viewers 5 seconds of their lives OR have the ability to take breaks + get more traffic.

Well I don't particularly care about views or subscribers, but I do like the breaks.

Actually thinking about it I doubt I would be able to get through an hour of video without making any big mistakes ;)

Although, my videos do seem to always be about 2 times longer than I plan so it might just happen :lol:

20 minute I would say max, it will save you from getting mind lock, when your gettin tired of speaking and talking at the same time. You figure, it would probly take you 5 min to write a code no vid.Now you have to type, speak, look ahead/think ahead,track time and edit's if errors or you wanted to update a line of code or 2.

I kinda liked your vides the was they are.

I don't like to brag, but I wasn't circumcised. I was circumnavigated. ;)

I can't remember which video it was but you said something like "Ok, this part will probably be the last one around 5 minutes" then I looked at the "time bar" and it said 10 minutes and in related videos there was another part, that made go :lol:

for my part videos are ok, becouse, it gives my time to think about what a am doing and to test the script echo out thing, studi a bit, then when i fil like it a just go ahead with the secound part, and sone, but then again if you make a tutorial about somthin short like the pagination tutorial, i think that for the users it maite by more easy to understand this tutorials if thei are in one pice!
but again totaly up to you ;)

I guess I will aim for ~20 min parts then.

I think parts are kind of better really, but sometimes I have to stop at a point that is not very natural because of the limit.

If each part has something as a result that you can test, it will be easier to spot where you have gone wrong too.

No man in his right mind would watch 20 days of blinking colors.

Exactly :lol:

And no man would go through the trouble of creating and uploading that.

Meaning the one who uploaded it was, in fact, a woman.

It has to be! Must have taken days to upload, and no woman would keep her computer running for more than a day straight, so she must have done it on her boyfriends/husbands computer.

Must have been a stress to the computer to actually compile that video. Poor computer :(

It's also from three years ago, meaning the hardware was slightly worse than now, too!

I too feel sad for that computer :(
