Time Lapse Videos

Among all videos we can distinguish a separate ‘genre’ of video production that’s called time lapse videos. It’s a high-speed playback where time appears to be moving faster and thus lapsing. This is just perfect for displaying production processes, how things gets done, etc.These videos can show viewer some time consuming process squeezed into a minute or some seconds.

Key Tips For Videos & Video Marketing

  1. Brand the content and videos.
  2. Create engaging video titles.
  3. Use tags correctly.
  4. Optimize title, tags and descriptions with keywords.
  5. Create awesome thumbnails – Thumbnails are the small, clickable pics that visually represent each video.
  6. Adopt a mobile first mindset.
  7. Put the hook in the first burst of the message.
  8. Use a little humor.
  9. Create playlists and drive a linear viewing experience.
  10. Market the videos. For example: Create social media posts to send people to the videos.
  11. Optimize videos and playlists for watchtime – YouTube’s algorithm has prioritized videos that lead to longer overall watch time or viewing sessions, rather than videos that get more views. View count is something that is open to manipulation and abuse e.g. buying YouTube views, click fraud etc.

Overall, how much time a viewer stays to watch a video is a far better measure of the video’s relevance and the user’s level of satisfaction. Watch Time, according to YouTube, is “The amount of time in aggregate that your viewers are watching your videos…”

Here YouTube will prefer the second option.

"Watch Time" as per YouTube is more important that other parameters.
