How long a how-to video can be

Up to your plan's how-to limit, and an hour at most. The length is an upper limit, filled by what there is to teach.

The limit

How-to videos can run up to your plan's how-to limit, and an hour at most on any plan. The pricing page shows each plan's limit. You can pick a preset or type your own length.

Length is an upper limit, not a promise

A long how-to is a course of chapters, not one long take. What fills the time is the content: each task takes as long as it takes to do and explain well. If you ask for a long course but there are only a few tasks worth teaching, the video comes out shorter, and you pay only for what is delivered.

To make a longer course, give it more to teach: add chapters at the planning step.

Pacing

Each chapter is sized to its share of the length, so the voice is never rushed and never cut short: when an instruction needs longer than the click took, the picture holds. Planning shows what fits in your length and lets you choose between making it as long as everything needs or ticking the tasks that fit.

Time to make

Long courses are filmed chapter by chapter and take much longer to make than a single task. You can close the page; we email you when the video is ready.
