In-banner: Video file specifications

Video files are advertisement videos that are delivered to AdOps (traffic@schibsted.no) as a regular video file.

These types of products can be delivered as a video file:

  • In-banner video Netboard and Board (can be delivered as both video file and Tag / HTML)
  • Norway NOW products (can be delivered as both video file and Tag / HTML)
  • Native Ads Video

Live campaigns:

We've simplified the direct-purchase specification so you, as an advertiser, don't have to worry about technical video specifications. We only require the correct ratio and maximum duration for the video file.

Video files must be

  • maximum 60 seconds duration (we recommend a maximum of 15 seconds)
  • 16: 9 ratio

For Direct campaigns, as a rule, no other requirements for file type or file specifications apply.

Received video file will be converted by Schibsted Ad Operations if it
does not match the technical formatting required by the ad server
has too loud a sound.

We always contact the advertiser if the video file can not be converted without experienced image or audio quality change.

Received video file will be sent in return if

  • The movie is too long
  • The video has a different ratio than 16: 9
  • It can not be converted with acceptable quality or size for upload to the ad server. Specification for programmatic purchases shows the technical quality required.
  • Ads should not loop
