How Much Time Do You Spend Editing?

[BKarol]

As much as it takes however after one hour of editing I loose the motivation and the video doesn't get posted for another 6 months...

I quite enjoy editing, possibly way too much. It took me about 4 hours just to make a 2 min clip

Not much. Mine are relatively simple.

If i'm doing a planned vlog I try to make sure that it flows as well as possible to remove dead air purely by talking at an appropriate rate reducing the need to vlog-cuts to remove the silences.
Film in a way that you're not going to catch your face in the video or your licence plate to reduce editing, too.
I've also got my camera mounted in such a way that it doesn't catch the speedo too much which means less keyframing.

I spend a lot of time editing - first of all viewing footage and making notes, that can potentially take as long as the footage, but I've learned to remember the relevant parts and skip to them. Then generally the editing takes 10 to 20 times as long as the end result. i.e. a 10 min video could take 3 - 4 hours. But then I often write and add my own music to the thing...

I've got much more of a method going now and it's halved my editing time.

The biggest change is to plan and record only the footage you want so you don't have to sift through hours of dead footage.

I tend to take between half an hour and two hours, depending on how involved the edits are. Good, flowing vlog which just needs the boring quiet bits removing? Half an hour. Something more rambling, where I've repeated myself a few times? Probably an hour or so. I image once I start using multiple cameras I can about triple the editing time!

At least I enjoy the process (mostly).

It takes me roughly the same length of time to drink 4 bottles of bud to edit , I always have some beer to help the stress of vegas pro

I sometimes spend hours editing, trying to get everything right before I release it. Motovlogging is a lot easier to edit than my other types of videos.

I once filmed a months worth of footage and spent like 20 hours working on it only to come up with about 3 mins of actual footage used. It wasn't for motovlogging but for another thing that I am deeply passionate about.

another thing that I am deeply passionate about.

It's never a chore to spend hours working on things like that

When you spend hours working on things you don't like, it's called a job aha and you better get paid!

Haha, an excellent point
