This is exactly the problem. There are so many 20 minute videos that should have been 2 minutes.

In a way, it's much easier to make the 20 minute video. Just hit record, rant an rave, stop recording and publish.

There are indeed justified long videos stuffed full with knowledge, insight and witty comments to make it fun.

Then there are "slow" videos but magical. Paul Sellers has a 30 min video on how to make mortise and tenons joint with hand tools. Just you and him in real time. You get a (recorded) private lesson from a master craftsman. It's magic. Every minute of it is knowledge transfer.
