Depends on the intro type... I usually like to create a different intro for each video I do, so they look more particular.

13 seconds for just a bumper are maybe a little to much, I don't know. Gotta see it to tell (and see how well it integrates with the video)

13 seconds is no problem. I've seen ones much longer. My intro is 24 seconds mostly because it relies entirley on scrolling text.

Heh...I made the thing in twenty minutes...

It has to be better than the bumper I did for one of my vids. It was 15 seconds of a still image fading in and out.

I currently have two bumpers made that are around 15 seconds or so, so you can see I have no problem with it. It all depends on how interesting the bumper is.

I personally don't believe in bumpers--I've only used 'em once, for the Wipeout video from the early 90's, and it was just a title card.

I much prefer to use MTV-style titling to introduce the gong, artist, and anime source and tag out the video with the JNV logo in a corner.

If I were to use the JNV logo to bump into a video, I would use the one I have that lasts no more than 5 seconds. Get in, get out, and show the video. That's my belief.

I just use white text on a black background -- it compresses better. It shows the video title, source anime, music, and album for 5 seconds, and then gets on with the show.

You don't really need anything else. The focus should be on your video, not how cool you can make an intro.

I am the bumpmaster, all must bow to my greatness an' bumptitude.
Anyway, my bumpers are around 30 to 40 seconds long, an' no one complains. I say the rule is to base the length of the bumper on the length of the vid. If the vid is less than 2:00, no bumper at all. If is' 4:00, about 30 seconds is good.
