I did do a feature-highlight video for the paths tool in GIMP some time ago. My mistake was calling it a tutorial. It's more of a tool overview, and some commented that it was too short. Watching it again, I'd have to agree. Lol:

60 seconds is something to shoot for, but different tools may require more or less time.

I'd also like to end each video with a chart of the tool hotkeys and modifiers as is at the very end of this GIMP tutorial, and a link in the video description to download the chart for practice/retention. I was rushing to cram this all into 60seconds as an experiment, but that hotkey chart should have probably gotten at least 5 seconds of screen time for people to be able to realise what it is and have the opportunity to pause and try them out.

Yes I recommend getting the videos down to less than a minute for simple
features and 3 minutes max for more interesting things.

This adds some constraints to get to the point and restricts the tagents
that can so often happen when making video with a passion for teaching
others.

Thoughts on limits?
