Creatives

This section applies for the direct creative template only.
You need a minimum of 1 creative:
  • Creative #1 - mandatory; the video/VPAID creative displayed in portrait and landscape orientation. Warning: you must set the click URL in the "Click URL" field in the edit view of the creative
  • Creative #2 - optional; used as a background image of the interstitial; image files only; Note: If the creative template parameter "Video blurred background" is enabled, this creative will be used as an overlay
  • Creative #3 - optional; used as a poster image of the video; image files only

The Video interstitial is automatically adapted to the width of the screen. The height is adjusted to preserve the aspect ratio of the video.

Supported file formats:
  • video file: mp4, mov, 3gp
  • background image/poster image: jpg, gif, png
  • VPAID: javascript file, without Ad Parameters. (Only for SDK >= 6.4)
