I just watched the video and here is what I think could be approved. As someone who knows nothing about your project the first thing I’d like to know how it runs.

So I think you could get out more from your demonstration and place it before the API usage tutorial part.

Right now the demonstration feels a bit hasty and nervous. It would be nice to have more detail on whats going on in the demo.

That's a paired down version from 30 minutes. The decision we faced was:

Do we think asking people to watch a 30 minute intro video will cause far more people to drop off than a 15 minute video? If yes, can we convey a lot of the value of Wallaroo in 15 minutes and get them interested in learning more?

We decided the answer to both questions was yes. I'm planning on doing a couple longer intro videos for those with an appetite to learn more at a slightly more relaxed and less hurried pace.

My question to folks would be, what's the longest you'd be interested in watching? I have enough to cover that I could do:

30 minute, 60 minute or 90 minute videos, each providing more depth. How much time are folks generally interested in investing in videos of this sort?
