During the 13 years I was a local TV news reporter, I usually cut all of my shots to five seconds unless they were non-static (moving).

I recall more than one kid fresh out of journalism school who'd cut their shots at three seconds. Then they'd have to repeat their shots (usually in exactly the same order) because they didn't shoot enough extra shots to make up for the shorter cuts.

One of my recurring comments about that was, "We're the news, NOT a music video!" SMH
