Why the Video Is 8 Seconds Long

Why the Video Is 8 Seconds Long

Bob Haircut Filter generates an eight-second clip. That length is long enough for a full before-cut-after beat and short enough to hold attention and render at reasonable cost.

Enough for the full reveal

Long hair, hands entering, the cut, hair falling, and a head turn all fit comfortably in eight seconds without feeling rushed.

Matches how the trend is watched

The most-watched haircut clips are short. An eight-second video loops well and rarely gets swiped away before the payoff.

Keeps generation practical

Every extra second is more frames to generate and more time and compute. Eight seconds balances a complete clip against a sensible wait.

Fake the bob before you commit to it
