Which video is better for ranking?

Five minutes or eleven minutes long?

4 mins long

it all depends on the video watch time, if you have 2000 views on each and the 4 min video got 80% retention (106.6 hrs of total watch time)
and the 11 min video got only 20% retention (73.3 hrs of total watch time), than the shorter video will be ranked better.

but if you add the same exact views the longer video will hold more watch time and will rank better
see best explanation of this here on a video that @DonGrayHat sent:
(go to 2:50)

Video length doesn;t matter. Retention is one of the most factors.

Video length doesn;t matter. Retention is one of the most factors.

Then 30 seconds long videos will rank batter as they will get 100% retention

Video length do not matter much if you are getting better view rates but its always best to have a longer video for better results.
