It's very difficult to find a coherent measurement, they vary a lot depending on the source. In this case we used the measurements from the Star Wars D6 Empire guide. But we couldn't find a good render of the Victory class. So it's the render of an Imperial class but scaled like a Victory class. They are very similar aesthetically, the only difference is that the Victory has some panels on the sides. The same thing happens with the Yamato, we couldn't find a decent Yamato, this Yamato doesn't have exactly the right cannons.
Enterprise from Star Trek is 641m which puts IJN Yamato on par with, or smaller than, one of it's nacelles. It's also one of the few that are properly documented even if the episodic scaling is off sometimes. Star Wars authors and even Lucasfilm were never consistent with scaling, and many Star Trek franchises have terrible consistency from episode to episode. DS9 hero ship the Defiant, could be 3 different sizes in the same episode leading to all sorts of online silliness from some very passionate people. In short, it's a nightmare but the presentation here does a decent job trying to convey the size of some of these things. I would encourage the OP to try and add something 'human' to the video to add context and scale, e.g a tipper truck or something familiar to drive the point home.
A quote from a visual effects guy on Star Trek basically said they did not care about scale, only if the shot looked good. So go by any actual printed source material, screen won't show scale.
Nicely done!
yeah that's cool
Nice to see the real size of ships, although is that really victory class?

Imperial Class Star Destroyer is 1600 meters. Victory Class is 900, has a different model
Correct, and that's what it says on the label.
But we did not find any models of the Victoria class.
