15 vs. 30 Seconds for a Bad Times Video
Choose a Bad Times video length by the joke you want to tell. Watch the same dog template at 15 and 30 seconds before deciding.
Pick the length based on how long the reaction needs to land. Imagine the clip as a setup, a reaction and the moment you would cut it. If the funny part is clear in one look, a short take is usually enough.
Choose 15 seconds for one punch line
“When you say the snack drawer is closed” is a complete setup. The viewer sees the stare, gets the joke and can send it to a friend. A 15-second standard clip is 480p. It suits a simple caption, a quick reaction and the three-video bundle.
Choose 30 seconds when you want room for a second beat
An extra beat can give a dog time to look away, turn back or raise a paw. The template and your input shape what motion appears in the finished result. For templates that offer a full version, 30-second standard is 480p and the HD choice is 720p. Check the options next to the selected template.
Compare the same template
Start with the 15-second Treat Bag Meltdown example, then play the 30-second standard example. Watch both on the device where you plan to share them. If you're choosing based on detail rather than pace, use the 480p and 720p comparison.
