How many words is a 30-second video?
About 65 words at a conversational pace (~130 words per minute). Slower, punchier delivery uses fewer; fast-paced uses more.
What’s the ideal short-form length?
15–34 seconds tends to maximise completion rate, which the algorithm rewards. Cut anything that doesn’t earn its place.
