"short-duration" is a rather unnatural way of expressing it:
- "He gave a short-duration speech."
- "Following a short-duration conversation between each contestant and the hosts, ..."

I guess someone wanted to say "short" but was worried that it might be taken it to mean "not tall".

主持人做完簡短的訪問之後,
Following a short conversation between each contestant and the hosts,

BRIEFLY

In late July, in the emergency room of a major hospital, after a brief dialogue with a patient the exhausted doctor prescribes two injections and three days of medicine.
