    Creatives

    This section applies for the direct creative template only. This creative script works with one or two creative files (the same creative files are used for both portrait and landscape orientation):

    • Creative #1 (required): the video creative (MP4)
    • Creative #2 (optional): a poster image for the video

    The ad is automatically adapted to the width of the screen. The height is adjusted to preserve the aspect ratio.

    Supported file formats:

    • Video: mp4, mov, 3gp
    • Poster image: jpg, gif, png
