so it's hard to unlearn the frantic pace

maybe

I think you might be trying to catch up to your video cues

make two videos

one being an in depth long term review

there's a lot of crap happening on the screen esp in that dynatron video

and the other being your initial impressions

I do the voiceover first then edit around it @shadowedROM

oh.

but I'll probably make some more pauses

and natural breaks

do you watch C4Etech
they do a great job

nope

Maybe I'll try making a podcast/video review. I feel bad commenting without experience

nah I appreciate it

I know what you mean by too much going on

it was my first time attempting something like that

ah. ok. well, maybe you can check out some NPR radiolab segments

and I have zero experience myself so

they add pauses and play historical clips, which adds some respite

makes it easier to listen to

yeah I added in clips before but it pushed the length up like crazy

makes me nervous

but seeing people sat through it for once made me realise I can go longer if I want

came to 8 minutes originally

it depends on what your target audience is, but lots of channels have 7+ minute vids; as long as they're engaging without being exhausting

if you cram too much stuff into a short amount of time it can wind up sounding like noise

yeah I'll make the next one longer

think people demanding less than 2 minute reviews are just burned by people like Awful who ramble on for 15 minutes about literally nothing

lol

if they want less than 2 minutes they can read a text review

yeah you can hear me panic and speed up in some of my longer videos

bad habit

I'll just relax and let it go as long as it needs to

^ what I always tried to avoid

otoh this vid is fine https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7cG7-f3DfVA and a helpful service

I find myself plugging stuff into usb ammeters nowadays but idk if it helps

my chink reviews don't actually do well on engagement and watch time

the vintage ones do
