Video Guidelines
- The Yahoo! Homepage will accept video in QuickTime format. Video assets can be emailed to the Campaign Manager directly or posted to an FTP site. Please contact your Campaign Manager if the video is in a different format.
- All video on the Homepage must be user initiated.
- Video window must have the following controls: Pause/Play, Mute and Close
- A Yahoo! Creative Designer will compress and resize the video to the dimensions of the video window. They will also code the video for different connection speeds. If the video includes letterbox (black bars at the top and bottom), let the Campaign Manager know whether or not it should be included in the ad unit as our standard process is to remove it.
- If the Homepage team is building the creative, we will provide you with the dimensions of the video window. If the client/agency is producing the execution, please provide the video window and/or the proper dimensions.
- The Homepage requires 5-10 business days lead time for all video executions.
- All video for Homepage events will be coded in Flash 8.
- Post campaign, the Campaign Manager will provide video stats.
