Regarding the video to showcase a Blueprint system.
There shouldn’t be any time requirements of that video.
Some systems can be shown in a few seconds, others need a few minutes.
Also, and that’s what i did in my video, when someone explains a lot, the video can get
longer, which is in my eyes pretty good. Nothing shows a Blueprint System better than a detailed video.
I’ll have to agree with that, but what I see in the submission guidelines is mostly a recommendation:
Video Demonstration Guidelines
If you are submitting a Blueprint, you MUST submit a video demonstrating how it is used. No Blueprint submissions will be considered without a video. If you are submitting a different type of content, a video is optional, but it can be an excellent sales tool. An effective approach to creating a video that we recommend is trying to keep the video between 90 - 120 seconds long. Open the video with examples of the finished product, then show your submission in the editor. Show the controls you provide, and look at some of the most interesting and visually meaningful configuration options your submission offers. Ease of use and the end product are what is most important, so if you can dazzle them with video of how it could work, then show them what knobs they can turn to use it, and try to keep it under two minutes, you’ll be in a very solid competitive position. The easier it is for the buyer to visualize “what is it? Now how can I do it?” the faster you’ll get them interested.
There is one part further down the page where it says, specifically for blueprints:
Ignoring the fact that the given lengths don’t match in both quoted parts, I think the “must” here refers to the fact that a video is required, not that it must be of that exact length
