Do you believe there is a sweet spot for vlog length ?

I like both those ideas!

FWIW, the music sections are very quick [<15s] and pertinent to the travels in the video. The one "music section" that's about 41s long is a timelapse of Max footage... I just posted a 40s #short on YT of it, because why not?

I'm still tinkering with the overall video... once it's in render-ready spec I'll have to make a decision. Scenic vs. Talking videos... that's an interesting way to do it.

HD - I agree, unless the music fits the video and isn't very long. I guess you skipped over the music in my Harley dealer ride videos?

Also, there are definitely gonna be Chapters on this one so viewers can skip around.

I guess the hesitation to break it into multiple vids stems from my "Part 2" videos not doing nearly as well in AVD or View #s than the "Part 1" vids they go with.

I do the same to videos made by big and small channels, so please don't take offence! but yup

Yeah, multi part videos, unless they are special, will always seem to suffer sadly. I guess if you look at how many folk watched the whole of the part 1, it would give you an idea of how many would be fully invested in a second part!

That's a good stat to check ... how do you do that? I can see CTR and AVD, dips & spikes, but not a clearly-marked stat for how many watched the whole thing?

From the advice given here, I'm going to keep it as 1 video, with chapters, minimize pauses and music sections, and roll with it.

The fun part will be the intro, thumbnail, and title... I filmed a fun intro and tie into the first minute of me talking, but they are incongruous with the rest of the video LOL. I did not set out to do what I did, just go for a ride, but I wanted to film a specific intro and see how it came out.

Oh yeah, I've seen that... I thought you had a way for YT to give you a number.

Looks like about 32% of viewers made it to the end of my All-American Harley dealer ride Part 1 video:
