oh well... it actually takes quite a bit. let's start backwards:

posting links to the video on social networks, twitter, promotion and stuff like that: 20 min

adding captions, notes, etc to the video: 10 minutes

uploading the video and filling in the information: 10 minutes

rendering the video: 2 hours

(this week I made an editing mistake and had to change and re-render the video which took and additional 2 hours)

actually editing the video: about 5 hours (which could be less, if the editing preview wasn't so unresponsive and slow now. it makes the work really frustrating and inefficient)

making the animated talking logo in after effects: 15 minutes

recording the voice-over: 1 hour (I make a few mistakes, and then I also need add a few filters to make it sound better, 'cause my mic is kinda crappy)

collecting all the videos I need for backdrops: 2/3 hours

actually writing the script while reading the news I had previously chosen: 2 hours

getting all the release dates down: 1 hour

picking and choosing the news I'll be talking about: 1 hour spread throughout several days.

So on total: around 15 hours. Obviously not all on the same day. Most of it on fridays.
