Keep your video length 20-30 seconds long, anything longer is too long to use in a video segment. 20-30 seconds if perfect when editing footage and trying to keep the audience engaged!

If editing a video with background music, think about changing the video clip with the rhythm of the music. This adds a professional aspect to the video and assists in keeping the audience engaged.
