Youtube Playlist duration

Hello everyone! My occupation is photographer and I am going to create my own youtube channel with a content concerning my profession. Especially I am woried about optimal duration of my videos(I want to make them meaningful, interesting but not very long) and combine special topics in playlist. How do you think, guys, what duration of first videos at channel is the best for the start?

Hi, Charlotte! I hope you will get answers to your questions here! My friend recommended me this forum as he found here what he was looking for. People here are professionals in different spheres, so I am sure they will help you. Good luck!

10 minutes is effective. You can even do 1,2,3 minnutes too

5-10 minutes would be a perfect range!

8 - 10 minutes would be okay, but you can make it longer.

Thank you, all for your replies You confirmed my opinion, I also think that shortbut informative videos are more catchy and more chances that they will be watched till the end

Also I want to combine themed videos into playlists after I have enough content at my channel. I guess 30-40 minutes long playlist is optimal length. By the way, I found <a href="https://technologeek.net/youtube-playlist-time-length-calculator-how-long-is-my-playlist/">Youtube playlist</a> duration calculator - it will help to keep up the whole content lasting.

This should seem intuitive, but longer videos tend to simply give viewers more time to get distracted and look away. In fact, it’s very common for videos to be down to 80% of viewers remaining in the first 15–20 seconds on longer videos, as people start…get bored…see a recommended cat video and then, well, who can compete with that?
The longer my video, the lower the percentage of watchers that make it to the end. My shorter ones that I uploaded at the very start, months ago…often have 90–95% retention rate. So, pay attention to the length of your videos: each separately and all together. There are a lot of tools for video calculating of Youtube playlist.
