    Yeah, an hour is very long for a youtube video.

    As for content, can you sing?

    I'm curious too about why an hour long? Most youtube videos aren't' allowed i think to be that long without some form of authorization, its why when you even see movies on youtube, they're in like 7 or 8 parts.

    tip number one for making youtube video: If you want people to view it, don't make it be hot girls puking, or animals humping... wait... what am I saying... if you want 20mil views, make it a hot girl puking, or animals humping...

    Personally, I don't watch videos longer than 10 minutes unless they come highly recommended.

    The reason I'm making it an hour long is basically a creativity test for myself, sorry I didn't make that part clear

    Like some other poster said, there is a time limit for youtube videos of 15 minutes (if I remember correctly). Also, I rarely watch videos that long on youtube. To be honest, I think that I have only watched one video on youtube longer than an hour and it was a presentation of a biology professor proving that evolution is not some sort of myth.

    Finally, if your doing this to test your creativity, shouldn't you have to get the idea by yourself.

    That was my first thought too, admittedly. XD Doesn't that kinda.. take the creativity out of it?

    I've got the impression that the 15 minute limit doesn't apply anymore, even for average users, simple because I know channels that post 1hr videos of TV shows for which they clearly don't have the copyright (and that's all they post)... so youtube would be unlikely to grant them special permissions. I could be wrong though.
