When 60 seconds is the right length
One minute is enough to introduce a product, explain a feature, or pitch an idea. It works well for social media ads, app store previews, investor teasers, and internal announcements where attention is limited and the message needs to land fast.
- Product introductions and feature highlights
- Social media ads on TikTok, Reels, and YouTube Shorts
- Quick team briefings and announcements

60 seconds vs longer formats
A 60 second video covers one idea well. If your topic needs more depth, SquidRoll also creates 90 second videos. For social media hooks and teasers, 30 seconds works. You can create different lengths for different channels from the same script.
