    Creatives

    This section applies for the direct creative template only. This creative template uses the same creatives for both portrait and landscape orientation.  Filling the VAST URL field (see "Creative template parameters" below) is mandatory.

    Note: 360°/3D Videos are supported only with SDK >= 6.5 on iOS >= 9.0 and Android >= 4.4. Optionally, you can add an image creative which will be used as a poster image of 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: a VAST URL which calls a valid VAST 2.0 or VAST 3.0 XML with at least one mp4 video encoded in H.264
    • Poster image: jpg, gif, png
    • VPAID
