If you’re still on YouTube feel free to subscribe and engage on the videos to help push them out.

I’m receiving thousands of views on youtube shorts that I’ve posted today. Engagement only pushes them out more and more.

I only have Youtube but you can count on me for intelligent comments that includes precise analysis and thoughtful insights for those vids every time. I won't even crap on the music like I have for Dolby's stuff in the past!! I'm kidding, Dolby, your last AH vid had great music. I even commented as much.

I might join TikTok as I've seen lots of bouncy bewbs while looking for your stuff there.....I'll find it eventually.

Awful,
The endless amounts of said content you mentioned alone makes TikTok well worth it  :rofl

Animl,
Awesome - thank you!

The shorts are really gaining traction. Long videos with hours and hours of work to create go absolutely no where for me…. A 30 second clip shooting down some bombers will reach thousands…. Makes no sense but working with the situation at hand and taking advantage of it.

I read somewhere that the youngers have a very short attention span due to growing up plugged in. Not sure if it's true or not, but it could have something to do with the 30 second thing.

its called attention span. most of the wienies today can only last 15-30 seconds and then its off to the next thing!

That’s certainly true for most people, myself included… the video has to be quick, interesting, and catchy, or else I’m scrolling away.

Of your short vids which time lengths do the best or is it fairly even?

Im going to look into cutting some of my videos up to make these "shorts", and maybe create some more shorts from the few kills I do get.

Any tips you can give I would appreciate.

Yep, short form media is the way to go these days.  Average watch time of tiktoks is around 10-15 seconds, with many videos having 3 seconds or less (which is where you have to hook them).  I can definitely tell a difference in the classroom between now and no more than 5-6 years ago.

I will post some examples of the ones that are performing well.

It seems like viewer preferences differ from platform to platform, YouTube shorts watchers tend to like a little more meat and potatoes on their videos where TikTok viewers want quicker content.

YouTube 30-60 second clips
TikTok 15-30 second clips

That’s what I’m noticing.

Editing tricks help - slowing down key moments - speeding up boring ones - if I’m just flying I tend to speed those moments up and then slow down when I’m firing my guns.

These videos are doing well on YouTube with over 1000 views each

https://youtube.com/shorts/c1TCRw01G2s?is=QZsT6l7bH7FO0E6c

Won’t let me embed them for some reason - you’ll have to follow the link.
Feel free to check out the others for more examples - most did well, very few got less than 500 views.

Tiktok I struggle to break 500 views on any video - YouTube shorts watchers seem to like the Aces High content more thank TikTok viewers.

But it ALL depends on the algorithms, tags you use, and engagement from the community. More engagement means it pushes the video out to more people.
