I have all updates, but I was not satisfied with the result. My normal blog posts get truncated after 40 words (I guess this is a setting from my template) but the photo view excerpt was truncated at 80 words, which was way to long for my layout.

I succeeded now by inserting the following code into my functions.php

// shortend excerps for photo view of TEC
add_filter( 'excerpt_length', 'tribe_excerpt_length', 999 );
function tribe_excerpt_length( $length ) {
        if ( tribe_is_photo() ) {
            return 20;
        }
 
    return 40;
}

@Jan: there must be a typo somewhere!
@all: it is working in German too. T I did not read and follow your solution carefully enough.

I changed the original line
$excerpt = wp_trim_excerpt( $excerpt );
to
$excerpt = wp_trim_excerpt( $excerpt, '55' );
but should have changed to
$excerpt = wp_trim_words( $excerpt, '55' );
(It is not just adding the numbers – note the difference in the function name)

BTW: I think, the problem is not, that the excerpt is not used, but the automatically generated excerpt from full text is not truncated. If I enter a short exerpt manually, everything looks fine to me.
