The excerpt length is the number of words, not the characters. Assuming that every word is 8 characters long in average, you might want to use this: function wpdocs_custom_excerpt_length( $length ) { if( is_front_page() ){ return 50; } else { return 100; } } add_filter( ‘excerpt_length’, ‘wpdocs_custom_excerpt_length’, 999 ); Source : WordPress codex
The third field in add_filter() is priority. Default WP hook priority is 10.

I would encourage you to consider using post formats. You can see my answer to a similar question about altering the “Read More” text, but it would apply similarly to you. For the video portion, you might want to create a custom field to hold the video URL, but otherwise, I imagine this would be … Read more
How about using condition to change the readmore links. Here is an sample code which returns a different read more text based upon the category of post. You should read the official codex page to know more about other conditional tags you can use in wordpress. Usage – put this code into your theme’s functions.php … Read more
We need two functions in the theme’s functions.php: One function checking the length of the content to adjust the title. Another one to print the formatted post content in case the first function returns TRUE. Let’s start with the first function. This is rather simple because we solved that already. 🙂 if ( ! function_exists( … Read more
