His point seemed very simple to me: can the script stand on its own?
If yes: its allowed
If not: its not allowed
A 1 min of action sample of a video that is ment to be 20mins of action will not show anything at all, so on that end, even if its action packed and highly accurate, just wont cut it.
5mins for a 50min video can mean those 5 minutes do at least something, and can stand on its own as the cut might happen at the same time as the video transitions. This is fine even if not complete.
Anime videos of 1 min are allowed, because most of the time the content on r34 is simply just 1min long, there is nothing a scriper can add. But for full videos, its just not enough.
Its always relative to the content here, whatever is provided can decide whether shorter videos than normaly are acceptable. If a video on PH is just 2mins, thats at most a 2min video. No need to set a 3min requirement then even if on PH its part of a longer video that was cut up into 4 sections.
Manualy cutting the video for just such preview means you at least need to find a length and cutting moment that makes the script feel complete.
