How Do I Change Displayed Video Unit Title Length?

On the videos home page, there is a 140x102 thumbnail followed underneath by the video title and username.

The title is cut off after like 17-18 characters (which is extremely short to be remotely helpful). How do I increase the allowed length of the title so that users can see like 65 characters, for example?

I have found the css where I can change the height and wrap/ellipsis, but stuck when trying to find character length or number of lines I can use in a title before cutoff.

I have an attachment which shows what it looks like now. Need more room for video title.

Thanks!

I'm guessing it will be a similar process for photos, etc. just in a different css or file location.

Do you have a custom template you are using?  On my site the name of the video wraps under the thumbnail.

i am using the ALT template that came with it.

That's what I want it to do is have the entire title wrap under the thumbnail.

Got it.

I've attached before and after if anyone wants to add to the title length of videos.

Change (templates/base/common.css):

.sys_file_search_unit:
    height: 194px;
    white-space: wrap;

.sys_file_search_title {
     height: 64px;
     line-height: 16px;
     overflow: hidden;
(This allows for 4 lines of video title)
