Match video format...short or long form? (Patreon)

Ok folks, two questions here.

Since we're no longer chasing the YouTube attention deficit disorder algorithms, how do you want to see future match content formatted?

Do you want all 4 stages as one long video or do you prefer 4 separate videos?

Do you like, or dislike, the second run of Ian vs Karl split screen?  

Thanks!

~Karl

Olmo Ciarlo

One long big video would be nice :) Regarding the split screen... I always skip that, so I don't really mind

Gordon Ruth

I prefer the single video with split-screen

Joseph Chantiny

I like the split screen I think the current video tends to be a little long

Casey

Personally I like the current format. 5-8 minute videos are nice. Since the matches are only once per month it's nice to have a video each week to fill in the gap until the next matches videos are done.

Fabian

I prefer separate videos, with splitscreen AFTER the discussion. When it's right after I alread watched both runs, I just end up skipping. I just saw it. If it were after the discussion, I could actually look for the things you said!

Ken McNamee

I would prefer one long video while still retaining the conversations that occur pre and post match and also between stages. However, I don't really find the split screen very useful and I tend to fast-forward through that part.

Rupanrx

Thanks for asking. All 4. Maybe split screens at the end. I usually skip the split screens.

GunnerFreeman

I like the separate video for each stage format, but put the split screen runs at the end or maybe a separate video at the end.

David Rahn

I don't mind the separate videos or the longer format, but the split screen run is something I always skip. When I watch your runs I'm not really watching to see you two compete against each other I'm watching to learn about the sport and how your individual gear affects your choices on how you complete each course. A more complete comparison of times and why you got those times would be nice though, so maybe a more detailed discussion of the match at the end of the video. That's just my take on it.

Shane Stoneham

One long video with split screen only

Ex Libris

I like longer videos, but I can live with short, separate ones. I do however usually skip the split screen as I am satisfied with just showing the final times. Here is a strawpoll site you can use to collect answers more numerically. <a href="http://www.strawpoll.me/12725994" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://www.strawpoll.me/12725994</a>

Alex S.

As other people have said, I generally skip the split screen playback. Both runs together in one video is a good length

Jeremy Nettles

One long video, but with split screen only. I don't need to see everything twice, but I do like comparing the two as they go.

London Jolly

I'm cool with either format, but I am glad you asked about the spilt screen. I almost always skip it.

Alex Wiens

I like the current format, but would suggest trying the split screen with commentary first, then the individual runs

Pavel Zykán

Hi guys. I'd prefer one video, no split screen.

Dan Gallagher

I enjoy the single long video personally. I enjoy the split screen, it provides a better perspective. There's been a few times I thought you, or Ian, finished quickest until I watched the split screen. The ability to see the intricacies and actions that result in that side-by-side is great.

Anthony Boyd

I enjoy the current match set up as you run them now. It keeps it fresh and the dialogue and comments at the end of each video is perfect. I think the split screen is perfect since you can really see where time is lost/made up

Bryan Bolivar

4 parts. Smaller segments are easier for me to find time to watch. Discussion at the end is the best part. Overall, the current format works for me.

Timothy Sears

I prefer the separate video for each stage, each of which including a discussion and conclusion about that stage. Split screen is interesting in particular when the runs are very close to each other, or to see where a malfunction or sluggish reload really cost one guy the advantage. That said, I think putting the split screen after the conclusion isn't a bad idea; either that, or have a separate video specifically for the split screen.

matthew vanourney

I don't really care for the split screen videos. As far as grouping stages together I could go either way.

Monke

One long video would be awesome. I love watching your longer videos when I eat lunch or do other activities. As for the split screen segments maybe post them in a separate video? I personally don't like them but I'm sure that some would love you see a direct comparison between you guys.

Karl Schrantz

I tend to skip the split screen. I like multiple vids, one a week. Give you more content between matches.

Andrew Kuper

I kind of like the episodic format of one video per stage, but I don't need to see the runs split-screened, I always skip over that to the conclusions.

Hans

I like the separate part it is easy to work with and go through and start and stop when I need to

Jacob Harrod

I like the short vids with the commentary on each stage as you do it. Also stick with the sokit screen, it shows difference in styles shooting and system (when you compare different rifles).

Clay creed

Current format please.

DanSharkman

I think a single video works well now that you don't have the length constraints. I found the split screen to be quite entertaining, and it seems to work well.

Benjamin Stevenson

I would prefer one long video with no split screen. I don't generally watch the split screen. 1 video per stage isn't bad though. I just generally like the content.

Domingo Chavez

I'd like it all in 1 video but still with the AARs between each stage. Either way just keep the AARs please.

Dave Racine

Segmented videos works for me. I watch the videos in between other activities. I like the split screen.

Ratus

I like the current format of four separate videos, the split screen is nice sometimes to show different choses, but not need all time.

Rick Ellis

I like the shorter videos, but rather than four - perhaps two stages per video. I think your analysis and discussion is the most valuable to me, so I'd suggest expanding that and keeping it for each stage. Split screen at the end of the video seems like a good option. Thanks

toby person

I love the split screen and the debrief after the stage. This works great for the short format.

Sean Smith

I have grown to like the current format. I appreciate the 4 separate videos cause it spreads the content out over the month. I like like the split screen before the closing discussion, for the most part. The only time I didn't like it was watching Ian try to spin a spinner. I couldn't watch it twice :) I like the longer after each stage discussion of the particular stage, with a fuller, full day discussion on the forth video. More discussion on each stage would be welcome, but beyond that I don't see how you could lengthen the videos for matches.

Brandon

I would still like individual videos, as I don'tusuallty have the time to watch videos over 15 minutes or so at a time, and I move from device to device so it's a pain to have to just "put on pause" a long video if there is a reasonable alternative of having them split up. (Obviously things like Q&A's are different, for example.) That said, I like them split into 4 or, if the stage is short, maybe 2 videos of 2 stages each. I don't like the side-by-side; it is repetition vying for my time so I just skim past it anyway. I *would* like it if you could make the conclusions section longer; granted, you won't always have more to say, but I really enjoyed the Manifesto series so it would be cool to work in some "moral to the story" at the end of the stages, even if it's just more than your normal amount of musings. :)

Emalkartha

Big big fan of the split screen.

Hugo Klepsch

I prefer one vid per round and I like the split screen. I like the debrief at the end of each round as well.

toby person

But I don't think it would work well in the long format.

Donald Davis

Separate vids for each stage, with the AAR following split screen comparison.

Michael Bagley

I like the split screen bit so I can get a better feel for how you are each doing relative to the other one. One video per stage is good as I can't always sit down and watch an entire hour long video due to IRL issues and when I can it usually ends up being something like the q&a where it really can't be cut shorter the way you guys can with match videos.

Michael Boudreaux

I'm a fan of the of individual videos and no split screen

411.48R

I like the videos like they are. Although I always skip the split screen. Maybe a short overview over all stages in the beginning?

J Neko

Another vote for the split parts and screen from me. Q&As, talks and interviews long, matches split in logical parts with commentary in context.

toby person

How about do the short format and once all those are out put out the long format without the split screen and debrief

Mike Murphy

I like the what you're doing now. Keep up the good work. Thanks!

Kevin Matthews

Personally I prefer videos in the twenty to thirty minute range due to the time constraints of life!

Joshua Jones

Like the multiple videos, not a fan of split screen. Love the AAR at the end of each video.

Keith McNab

I would prefer one video, no split screen.

Marc Feldman

I don't have any trouble either way. That said, I can focus for long periods of time. The split screen is nice.

PT

I like the separate videos. Usually only have time to watch one or two stages in a sitting. I never watch the split screen.

Daniel warden

I enjoy the current length of video. The split screen is my favorite part, sometimes I just skip to it and the follow up review of the match.

Corey Allhands

I like the separate videos for each stage. I sometimes skip the side by side if it's a longer stage. Maybe put all stages side by side in it's own video?\

Nick

One long video would be best in my opinion. I like the little introductions that are present for the beginning of each stage and the summary at the end. I also enjoy the individual runs because I found myself focusing on just one half of the split screen during the old formatting then having to go back and watch the other half (Such as the BEF vs Landser video a few years back). The individual runs cut down on the audio mixing which was a problem for the split screened runs.

Bruce Stein

I like the separate videos; when they get longer, I have to actually plan a time to watch them, as I have to do with Othais and Mae's recent run of videos. Shorter one's I can fit in to my time a bit easier. The split screen is sometimes useful to compare where you each excelled or had a problem, but generally, you guys are now getting so close, it does not add that much. But at the end of the day, I'm fine with whatever you guys find works for you.

J Neko

Also, I very much like it when, in addition to the shooter comments, we get the match designer / arranger comments as well. Please keep that up.

Lucky508

I prefer one vid per stage with the wrap up on the last video. I like looking forward to the next video and it's easy to fit a smaller length video into my day at work. I like the split screen if it has something to show not just to do it every time. .02 out.

Jonathan Davis

Multiple videos work for me because I typically can't sit and watch all them in one sitting. Makes it easier to find where to pick up again if I finished the previous stage's video. I really don't mind the split screen and usually find it fun to see how fast Ian moves between shooting positions while Karl is typically more efficient with his shots

pcman312

I like the split videos per stage since I can watch them separate from each other and not have to figure out where in the video a given stage starts. Kind of like having chapters that I can jump to. I also agree with others: it's easier to watch each stage separately from each other at my own pace rather than having to potentially watch 30+ minutes of a single video to get it all. I have mixed feelings about the one run each + split screen. Having both increases watch time, but allows you to see them separately and then compare the two. What about having one video per stage with just the split screen, then post two separate videos for the individual runs? Almost a "behind the scenes" kind of style.

Zakary Wronka

Personally, I'd go with whatever is easiest for you to edit. If that's long form, then id suggest putting annotations in the description with each stage, and then the AAR being a separate video with you guys talking over the split screens.

nirename

By stage or by match, either way I'll be waiting for more after each video. The split i could take or leave, though. Thanks for your content, guys!

Shaun Christensen

However you chose, longer the better! Lukewarm on the split screen

Joey

For myself, I'd rather have one long video and drop the split screen, but I'm fine with whatever is best for you guys to produce.

Christopher Mees

I like separate as it allows me to see the video at my own pace without having to remember just where I had to shut it down. Split screens are ok, but don't really add a lot for my viewing

wlitten512

Personally, I prefer them broken up into segments. I'm probably going to watch the whole thing anyway but for whatever reason I prefer it in chunks. Don't ditch the side by side comparison. It's fun watching where you two either catch up or fall behind at the same time.

John H

I really like the split screen of your runs; it's very interesting to be able to compare your performances side to side, not just an overall time, but seeing where you lost or made up time. I like the AARs after the stages as well. As long as both of these were there for each stage, I'd enjoy either the longer or shorter videos. Keep up the good work!

Nathaniel Myers

I actually like the long format with all four stages in one video. But could do without the split screen of the runs. Without the split screen, all 4 stages might easier to fit into one video at a manageable length as well.

Tariq Shaikh

echo chamber here, i like the broken up and split-screen format too, along with the AARs. However, if it's easier for you guys for editing/processing to just do a single video, i'm all for that

Cary Widauf

I prefer the match broken up. Not that big on the split screen toward the end.

Vlaricshard2

Keep the split screen. It leads the viewer see the difference in time lapsed better.

Scott Ripley

Don't care if stage or match. I'm going to end up watching them anyways. I do like the split screens.

Lars Henriksen

I like that you create one video per stage. Debrief and comparisons are great. I usually skip the split screen. don't feel that it adds much value. Aside from that: absolutely fantastic

Vityaz

I would like having the option to watch it as one long video. But I would definitely keep the split screen runs. It's very interesting to try to compare the variances between the two runs, whether it be in comparing systems or tactics.

Bunnysmasher

I like the long videos better. As to the split screen, I find the comparison interesting, but I wouldn't be upset if it stopped.

Sidney Reilley

I prefer the way you have been doing it. One long video would be too long. The split screen is ok but I'm not hard over on that.

Nicholas Farrar

4 shorts and one long of all 4 combined after.

Agostino Ventura

I'm not super fan of the split screen. But they aren't totally bad either. I'm ok with both solutions (4 parts vs single video) but I like the full video a bit more. I'll watch them regardless anyway though!

Louis W. Reuter II

Split screen is defanatly a keeper. I think one continuous video. I say this because the viewer has the option of how to view the video. All in one setting or taking breaks at their choosing. This goes in keeping with the power is available for the viewer to control what they view and how they view it.

Austin Lopez

Definitely prefer the split screen runs and the long formatting! Those who don't like the split screen feature can skip it.

Scott H

The only thing that bothers me having it split up is having to wait for the next stage to get uploaded lol. I wouldn't mind it being one long video but if you go that way, put in the description or in a pinned comment a "directory" with 00:00 - Intro, 01:00 - Stage 1, 02:00 - Split Screen, etc. with at least each stage broken up (I'm sure finding the exact time for Karl's run/Ian's run, split screen would be time consuming) so that the people who don't want to sit through an hour long video could watch one stage and than easily skip to the next.

Eric Hentz

Long videos would be cool, but I'm fine either way. Personally I'm not really a fan of the split screen

Truls Jacobsen

I love the split screen. Most of the time I just jump to where I think it is, and don't look back.

Joshua Fairhurst

I havnt watched the full catalogue, but I did like the one stage at a time/each individually then a split screen. It lets me focus on your individual movements at first, then see how they stacked up next to each other in a more general view.

Patrick Wipf

I say keep the split screen runs. As for video length, I prefer the multiple video setup myself.

Gary Venable

Long format please. Notes to where in the stage is in the description i.e. Stage 2 at 1:45.

Chris Ibey

I enjoy each stage as a separate video. I usually skip the split screen.

Jerry Hales

I like each stage as a separate video. I like the longer Q&A's or presentation videos when I watch at home. I like the shorter 2 gun videos for my lunch break.

100radsbar

I like he current format, keeping the stages in seperate videos. The short videos are in my opinion good for the Action matches. I also like the splitscreen because that shows how the stage progresses for each of you. I like the longer videos for your other content.

OldGreyBeast

I'd prefer one long video. As is I tend to group them all up in my "watch later" until all the videos are released so I can watch them back to back. Would be nice to have it all in one. EDIT: Also I'm a big fan of the split screen runs. I say leave them in!

Matti Lahtinen

I prefer long format videos, provided the content delivery platform can stop and pick up from where I left off (maybe on a separate device with same account), in case I don't have time to watch the whole thing in one go. Don't care much for split screen, but it's easy to skip. Easier still, if you can post a timecode to skip to, in case the playback interface doesn't do timeline skimming.

Floris van der wolf

I like the separate video's for matches; something I can watch before I leave the house.

Tim

I like the 4 separate videos. I skip the split screen run on all the videos

Elijah Erickson

I think the best option would be the short videos. However, instead of the split screen just have both times in a top corner for reference.

Leonard Heinz

I vote for the longer format. I can always break it up myself--as I often do for the Qand A sessions or C&Rsenal videos. I vote to keep the split screen format. I skip it 90% of the time, but 10% of the time I get interested in where and how the time diverged (or stayed close). I like the AARs after each stage, with a match wrap-up at the end.

William Zumalt

Not a big fan of the split screen runs. I usually fast forward through them, but it's not hard to skip past them either. I could go either way on one big video vs 4 smaller ones. It's nice to have the small ones to squeeze in when I'm short of time, but you definitely lose some continuity when you cut them up. It takes a bit to remember what happened in the first video four days ago.

Saddlegap

A long video with time hacks would be great. After watching the stage intro, I'd fast forward to the split screen. I find the impact of small disparities in weapons handling, marksmanship, and agility interesting​, and the split screen is an innovative and compelling way to show that impact.

DaveR

FWIW I always skip the split screen segment unless I think there was something there that was interesting (eg how Ian's nimbleness might balance out Karl's efficiency)

Brian krueger

I always skip the split screen, it's a little hard to follow

Andrew Yates

As long as you keep the expanded content, I definitely like the longer opinions and split screens. I don't mind longer videos, I also don't mind shorter ones. Shorter ones make it easier to sneak in a video or there during lunch or in the evening. I tend to watch videos in their entirety, without skipping around as I see others doing

Christian Hanes

I like the longer format, I'm indifferent to the split screen after both runs.

Christian Olsen

I've enjoyed seeing each separate stage of the match separately, especially because there's an opportunity for you guys to reflect on each stage individually as opposed to addressing the whole match at the end of the video. Watching the shorter videos is also easier to fit into my day. Anyways keep up the good work!

Jonathan Moos

Personally prefer separate videos, without split screen. Just having the time for reference feels better to me. Hard to focus on 2 separate videos simultaneously.

Dustin Pierson

Well, I'm in the minority since I like the split screen format. I find it incredibly interesting where you guys make-up/lose time...especially when the final times can be within a few seconds of each other. I also like the separate video format as well. Even though you're trying to remove yourself from Daddy YouTubes grip, I think their "attention deficit disorder" algorithm has a lot of merit...at least for me.

James Slack

I concur with Jonathan Moos, separate videos no split screen.

Jay O'Balles

Yeah, I sort of fit into the split screen camp, in that I really like it. Long form is fine, but then again, I watch/listen to most Youtube on 2x speed.

Peter Box

I like the separate stages shown individually and hear you guys speak about the stage just shot, right after it. I'm indifferent about the split screen; maybe just show the time of the first shooter in a corner of the screen when the second shooter is on.

Jimmy Williams

I like the split screen. BUT, split screen for every step of every stage is a bit much. I like it especially when your times are close. times when Karl spanks Ian (sorry Ian :) ), it's not that much fun to watch for several seconds after one of you finishes and the other is 30+ seconds behind. Also, your analysis after is just as interesting as the stage itself. I may be alone in this, but I go to sleep with InRange/Forgotten Weapons/TFBTV running instead of a TV. I will watch long form the way most watch regular broadcast shows.

Gary Sangermano

I like one stage per video. I can take or leave the split screen. add more discussion of the guns you choose

Michael Radojevic

All four stages as one video is what I prefer. The split screen is fun, but I wouldn't want it to replace the individual runs. In addition to the separate single runs it's great.

Ben Hall

I perfer one whole video for the match

Adam Goodman

I prefer them all in one video and I usually skip past the split screens

Grant Howard

I'd love the long form version. Also I really do not like the split screen, I skip through it on all the videos.

Tom Asher

Separate videos, don't care about the split screen. I like your discussions after each stage.

Joshua McCoy

I like the Split-screen, I also like the long form videos better, I expect that long form with the split screen would make the videos prohibitively long. I would be willing to sacrifice the split screen in favor of the long form.

Mark Strickland

I find that I can squeeze in watching a 20-30 minute video whenever. When I see something Is getting close to an hour I wait to watch it and sometimes never make It back as it falls off my view.

Adrian

Id prefer separate videos

Nicholas White

I like discussion after each stage, but prefer 1 long video. Split screen is cool if it is close, but usually its "oh that's where Ian made a mistake and Karl didn't", followed by the inevitable. (Nothing against Ian!) I like split screen when Ian wins, to see when and how he gains advantage. Basically, it's complicated. The only reason I like it split up is more videos per week.

Kirk Trofatter

The separate videos are easier to watch, and the split screen is helpful to compare techniques and time.

Bill Smithem

Separate videos, with split screen.

Andrew Donoghue

Video length, I don't mind, not a fan of the split screen.

Farmer Brown

I'm happy to have different videos, with one condition - I cannot wait for longer than 24 hours between them. I find myself checking full30 every 6 hours to see if part 2 arrived - and sometimes have to wait a week. I like the split screen to see where each are stronger. I like the talk about each stage, and the overall lessons learnt at the end.

Scott Allen

Separate videos. Like the split screen.

Don Logan

I like the commentary after every stage so whatever you decide, please keep that!

Chris Alexander

I prefer them broken down into segments of <20 minutes. I usually watch these during lunch or when I can grab a quick break - I just don't have time to watch something much longer than that. As for the split screen - I'm pretty neutral on that.

Brian Hall

Possibly do one long video of the next match, so we can all experience it in that format, and then let us give feedback?

thegary

I prefer Separate videos with the split screen at the end as an extra after the commentary.

graham hudson

I like the comparison split screens, it really shows the effects of errors or malfunctions. I could go either way separating them over a series of days, would make for consistent content delivery. Also, a good way to take some time off by having stages in the can. But combined or separated as long as the inter-stage breakdowns are there, either is good. ^I like Brian Halls idea, do one long one as a test, sounds like a good test.

Scott MacKenzie

I like split screen and separate videos.

Craig Palmer

I would like to have to wait for more ! 4 stages 4 days

Chris Hiett

I'm a fan of separate videos for each stage. I usually end up skipping the split screen, but I'd be fine with it left in for those who do enjoy it.

Kaz

I'd watch the match videos in either format, however, I might end up doing it in stages if it were one long video, not for lack of interest, but justs because I'm not always able to sit and watch a 45 minute video all in one sitting during the day. As far as the split screen goes, I do often skip over them to get to the commentary. The exceptions are when you guys are using very different weapons (AK vs HK-91, or something modern vs something old etc..), or when a noteworthy malfunction or error, or something else unusual occurs, in those cases the split screen has value in showing how the above can affect the run. Overall I say just leave the split screen in and let the viewer jump over it to get to the ending discussion if they want.

Samuel K Harsha

I prefer longer content in general. If I see a video from a content creator that I like and notice that it's over 30 minutes, it means that I'm definitely going to watch the video because I know that they have probably spent the time to analyze the subject in detail. As far as matches I would kinda like to see all the stages at once.

Peter Szarvas

I'd prefer all stages in one video and no split screens.

Eric Calder

Short form because I can drag out my habit over more days and the split is too cool.

Thomas Stancomb

I like it pretty much how it is. I don't always watch the split screen but sometimes it is very interesting to see where you guys compare at different portions of a stage.

Terry

I prefer by stages. It also helps when you summarize per stage. Keeps it more relevant to what I just watched. There are tactical and or learning items that are easier to track in short bites. Not a fan of the split screen. Usually fast forward through it.

Timothy S Hennessey

I prefer separate stages and split screens. I have enjoyed watching Ian's skills improve in comparison to Karl.

Gregg Harper

Individual stages, split screen. I seem to be in the minority, but I skip the individual runs. If there is something I miss, I go back to single runs. So I guess keep it as is?

tunester

I like either format but often skip the split-screen

John

I'm 50/50 on both: it's nice to have easy breakpoints of separate videos if it posts when you don't have time to watch the full match. Given time, I'd prefer just to watch the whole match. The split screen is great when it helps demonstrate the advantages or disadvantages of the different weapons but a bit hit-or-miss otherwise.

Marty

I like the split screens and either long or short is fine with me.

Aaron Norling

I like the current format - separate videos for individual stages with both runs shown individually / completely, then together, then stage commentary. The split screen is interesting as a means to see where those few seconds that differentiate the runs are won or lost.

Scottipedia

I would prefer the whole match in a long form video. I would prefer a on screen timer for each run. With that I think I could do without the split screens, however, I do find them interesting sometimes, but they seem to make the video drag sometimes.

Robert Jon Mudry

I prefer the current short form video. It's easier for me to consume; I like my videos in 15-20 minute bites, with the occasional foray into the 30 minute realm. I tend to put off watching the longer videos until I have a bigger chunk of time, which often means they wait until the weekend.

Scottipedia

I prefer the match all in one video. As far as split screen, I think if you added an onscreen timer for each run, that would be good enough for me instead of a split screen re-run. That being said, I am not opposed to the split screen, it just makes the video seem to drag sometimes.

Kyle Beach

Whatever is easier for you. Either way I am watching.

Martin Eugene Smith

One video for the entire match seems the best option, at least in my view.

Redlock

I like the split screen runs. Don't care how you do the video length, I will watch it anyway you post it.

GunFun ZS

Single long format video. Split screen. I would often prefer just the split screen without the individuals, unless some aspect stands out of an individual run. Probably a cut of that advantage, malf, hat trick or fumble, or whatever would be more interesting than the whole run.

MB

I like the current format, But either way is fine. Most of the time I will skip ahead of the split screen runs but with the closer runs it is nice to see where time was lost.

James Mitts

I like the current format as well. If I want to see all 4 back to back I can just watch them. Now that you aren't doing commercials it is less annoying to binge watch. Also by doing shorter videos you can spread them out so I don't have to wait a week to see the next one. I also usually fast forward the split screens but they are nice to have if I want to watch them.

phil cole

I usually skip the split screen, but I really like an idea someone else posted - do the split screen after the discussion. That way it is easier to skip if you don't want to watch, or maybe the commentary would trigger wanting to watch it again

James Sellers

I prefer the current format. Rational: It allows me to review the stages a lot easier. Also the split screen with Karl & Ian with the clock running is excellent! A voice over during the split screen might work well for something specific you want us to see... or even some slow motion.

Marc Paris

Either one video or multiple- no major preferences. Usually skip the split screen

Chris walterman

A sample of oneMy are kids 7. Shorter videos fit my life better.

Chris walterman

Crap! and sometimes they kick my keyboard before I've had time to properly type out a sentence. I prefer them broken up. So I can see one through between the chaos

Paul Suh

I like the current format of multiple short videos. It may have something to do with my mild ADD... :-) Also, I like the split screen runs. It's interesting to see how Karl's better marksmanship compares to Ian's greater agility.

Chris Camp

I like how the stages are currently formatted (one run, then the other, then split screened), but would prefer all the stages in one video.

Scot Brown

Whatever you do, keep the splitscreen.

Person

I like the split stages and love the split screen.

John Whitacre

I prefer short videos and the split screen is ok with me.

Bonfire Banter

Ditch the split screen. Waste of time. Other than that, I love it the way it is.

Bonfire Banter

Multiple shorter videos is better, too. I can space out the time I waste at work.

Justin Talbot

I like multiple shorter videos myself.

John A. Shutt

Keep the current format of one stage per video, and two individual runs followed by the split screen. But to be honest, I watch Karl's run then I fast forward to the split screen portion.

Richard Moore

I like the way it is with separate videos. Thanks guys!

Leonard T Schmandt

I like the way the current videos are formatted. I can fast forward past the split screen if I don't want to watch it, however, I never do, so I guess I like it.

Carl

I usually skip the splitscreen part of the video

Joseph Comey

Seconded. As far as stages per video, I don't mind either way.

Bud Brooker

I also prefer the four videos. Once in a great while I skip the split-screen, but usually I enjoy seeing how little factors add up to affect each shooter's final time.

Eric Espinosa

I like 1 long video with the split screen

Patrik Dzoic

1 long video, gives a better context, I usualy skip the splitscreen

vonDorffy

I like the current format: separate videos with AAR for each and a final AAR at the end of the last stage + separate runs and a split screen. I usually skip the split screen but sometimes it is really fun to compare the two runs.

vonDorffy

Time markers would be helpful in the description in both video formats. In the long format to separate the stages, or in the separate format to be able to skip the split screen to the stage AAR.

mclang

I like separate videos. It is easier for me to watch in smaller parts and continue where I left off. Time markers would be good substitution in longer videos.

Edwin Webb

Keep the current format. I like the split-screen but it's sometime skippable when Ian gets pwned and the comparison isn't interesting.

Andreas Frank

I prefer a single file. Split screen can be interesting in some matches. But is not that important to me.

Martin Bryn Wingaard

I prefer having the match split into several videos, with one per stage. I would also prefer it if you kept the split screen.

Stephen Woods

1 stage per video with split screen .

Andy

Karl, I always skip the split screen run between you and Ian. It is redundant in my opinion. Thanks!

John R. Dorn

Like others split it into multiple videos and can do without the split screen. You guys would have to screw up pretty bad to run me off.

Terry Buchholz

I like the split screen to see where one of you "beat" the other in time. Makes it easier to see how part of a stage tripped up one of you guys.

Brendon Burns

The separate videos are great. Keep them

Matt W

Personally, I would enjoy all four stages as one long video simply because I've been watching an old match and spent time hunting for the one stage I didn't see yet. If it were all one video per match then you can still pause and pick up later if you can't spare the time for the whole thing all in one go, but you'll always be sure to have the entirety of the content from each event in one spot. As to the Ian vs Karl split screen - yes, I enjoy it. Often times I'll watch both individual runs and then just skip around throughout the split screen run so that I can see how a particular technique or strategy was faster or slower when Ian and Karl approach a problem differently.

Ian Gratton

All four stages, with split screen is my preference. I agree with Matt.

Justin

I liked the single long video however with the multiple day uploads that format spreads out the sadness to manageable amounts once the video is over. <3
