You are correct. My intent is to say that (often) a video, consisting of
multiple images is worth much less than a picture being worth a thousand words
might imply (or even 1000 words for a single image).
I suspect you've noticed the same thing, the extra blather that goes on in too
many videos just decreases the bandwidth to the brain.

I don't know the preferences of others on the list, or the list rules (other
than the 40 KB limit you mention below).

The number of words that a video might be worth on any basis like "a picture
is worth a thousand words".

informativeness.
True.
A well chosen picture, short video, or short audio clip might possibly be
useful, and probably moreso on this list dedicated to software for musical
composition.

If you really need to post a video or such, there are sites that allow you to
post a file(s) (often temporarily) to be associated with a list. I can't
remember the names of any of those offhand.
Have a good day!

If you reply: snip, snip, and snip again; leave attributions; avoid HTML;
avoid top posting; and keep it "on list". (Oxford comma included at no
charge.) If you change topics, change the Subject: line.

If someone else has already responded to a question, decide whether any
response you add will be helpful or not ...
A picture is worth a thousand words -- divide by 10 for each minute of video
(or audio) or create a transcript and edit it to 10% of the original.
