Why 90 seconds works for explainer content
Short enough to hold attention on social media. Long enough to cover a concept with depth. Research shows 90 seconds is the ideal duration for educational content on TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts.
- Covers one concept with enough depth to be useful
- Fits TikTok, Reels, and Shorts without trimming
- Outperforms longer videos for completion rate
