Mmm, it depends on the video. Sometimes when I'm bothered 2x as much during a recording (dogs barking, boyfriend demanding attention, tons of text messages) I'll try to pay more attention to what I'm editing. Those can take onwards of 30 minutes.
If it's a smooth recording session, then the edit time is probably 15-20 minutes with checking and double checking and creating end card.
My videos don't usually last 30 minutes, so I don't think I've ever spent an hour on editing.
Actually, my collab videos are pretty long. Okay. Those might take about an hour.

Depends on what kind of video I am making... Some I dont edit at all, just render it to mp4... others i spend well over 8 hours editing, to make the cuts more fluid, and adjusting video speed to fit music...
For instance my south park video take 6+ hours to make. First i make a 1-2 minute recap of the previous episode and then i cut all the loading screens and menus out of the game to make it flow, and add in a timmy fast travel scene everytime I fast travel (the game actually only does it the first time) plus i do some voice over stuff.
And my GTAV like a rock ☆ videos take even longer 12+ hours each... because of the way i had to do it. The video editor in gta doesnt left you edit cut scenes, or export your video to your computer. So I had to record with fraps, while recording with the rockstar editor when i could. Then edit the rockstar clips, which takes a long time. Then upload the clips to youtube as private...
I can then download the videos from youtube and put them into my video editor, and splice the rockstar edited clips into the rest of the footage i recorded with fraps.
I also added music from position music over top the times i was in a car, cause the games radio gets claimed.
On top of all that, i would have to play the mission several times to get the video right, cause its fairly difficult to remember to toggle the in game recorder and car radio at the right times when your in the middle of a firefight or whatever.

How long do you make them? Shouldn't take like over 12+ hours dude
Have you seen them? Theres alot of edits in the video. And the rockstar editor is very slow to render and upload to youtube... which also effects the time... about 3-4 hours of the time is just waiting for the stupid rockstar editor to upload and stuff... lol
Thats why i only made 3 episodes... took too much time...
The whole process is rediculous... Im not surprised when i dont see anyone else making videos this way... I love the editor... but its got some things that make it a pain to work with
Oh I'm talking about the splicing plus I use lightworks to edit videos
Ahh sorry... to me editing is whole process from planning to rendering... so i was confused...
Yeh rendering is usually around 2 hours
I just double check the recordings to make sure they're alright. If I made a 22 minute video, I'll have to watch everything. Adding in the special effect doesn't take that much time at all. I do write a decent chunk for the descriptions, but it's personal preference.

Yeah i agree, roughly the same amount of time, though a lot of the time it can take me hours...this is due to me being able to see very little. Which leads to me making mistakes quite often without noticing
Hey guys, takeso me 30mins to edit like colour correct and sharper. Then that takes about 2 ish hours to render a 45 min video

Usually just edit what I need to which is like 10 minutes, but funny moments have taken me over an hour to edit before
Normally Takes me an hour to edit my normal content and about 30-40 mins rendering time
Massively dependent on the video.
A regular vlog of mine might take 2 hours to edit, or it might take 3-4 hours to edit. Depends on what is there and how much of it I want to use. Rendering averages around 1:30 per minute of video, which means 15 minutes of rendering for a 10 minute video.

The amount of time it would take to edit a video, as mentioned above, highly depends on the video. For example, my videos so far have all been tutorials. So, if I make a mistake (I make a LOT of mistakes), I can repeat that line and step again and again till I'm satisfied, and then move on. The advantage is that I can cut out the parts of the video that I don't want (mistakes, pauses, etc.). However, it takes quite some time to edit. Cutting out minor pieces from a huge recording takes a lot of time. I have to take multiple breaks and do something else in the mean time. It's all worth it in the end thought because the final video turns out great. The viewer is engaged in the video from the beginning to the end. But that's for tutorials.
For Let's Plays, Vlogs, etc. the editing workflow may be different.

Depends. Since short i am trying to make montages from best moments and such. My first edit took me 8 hours as it contains 10 sec fragments from around 30 video's. My Star wars battlefront montage took me an hour and my FFXIV Alexander montage 2 hours. It depends on what i want to make and what i need for it.
Kinda depends.... my fast forward tutorials kan be tedious to edit because I always want to edit out a lot of double stuff so sometimes it can take me up to an hour but that's also because I'm always taking a lot of time finding the right mood for the background music and voice overs!

My videos take 30 mins - 2 hrs depending on what type of video it is

About 20 minutes to edit and render. Since my vids are straight gameplay, unless I add an info picture, I just have to cut any pauses, errors, deaths, etc that aren't needed.
