Let's get your ads playing.

Welcome to MEDIARAZZI

MEDIARAZZI hosts video advertisements and produces VAST tags that compatible video players can request and play.

Upload your first commercial

Upload an MP4 or MOV commercial and get a player-ready VAST tag after processing.

Find and copy your VAST tag

Every ready commercial has a URL that tells a compatible advertising player where to find its creative and tracking callbacks.

What is VAST? A plain-English explanation

VAST stands for Video Ad Serving Template, an IAB-defined XML format that tells a compatible player which advertisement to play and which events to report.

Test your first advertisement

Confirm that your VAST tag returns an ad and a real advertising player can play it.

Tube sites and players

6 ARTICLES

Tube-site owner quick start

Use MEDIARAZZI to serve advertisements in a compatible player already running on your tube website.

WP-Script integration checklist

A checklist for publishers running WP-Script-powered tube sites; the exact settings depend on the installed player and version.

Video.js pre-roll setup

Video.js needs a VAST-capable advertising integration such as Google IMA; the core player alone does not automatically play VAST.

JW Player advertising setup

Configure MEDIARAZZI as the VAST tag source in a properly licensed JW Player advertising integration.

Fluid Player advertising setup

Fluid Player can be used with VAST advertising when its VAST configuration is set up correctly.

Using other video players

Any video player with a suitable VAST integration may be able to request MEDIARAZZI tags; features vary.

Commercials and video

6 ARTICLES

Which video formats can I upload?

The current uploader accepts MP4 and MOV files. The platform processes hosted commercials for delivery as video ads.

Why is my commercial still processing?

MEDIARAZZI needs time to receive and prepare uploaded video before serving a verified media URL.

Commercial thumbnails and previews

Previews help you recognize a commercial; they are not the VAST tag itself.

Edit an existing commercial

Change a commercial’s name, destination URL, skip setting, and other supported attributes without creating a new ad.

Pause or delete a commercial

Use Pause when you may want the commercial again. Use Delete only when you intend to remove it.

Add a click-through destination

A click-through URL is where a viewer goes if they click a commercial in a player that supports clickable video ads.

Ad Pods and rotation

4 ARTICLES

Create a sequential Ad Pod

An Ad Pod is a group of commercials designed to play one after another during a single advertising break.

Reorder commercials in an Ad Pod

The up/down controls change playback order for fixed-sequence pods.

Rotation versus Ad Pods

Rotation picks one commercial for an ad request; an Ad Pod requests a sequence of commercials.

Configure skippable advertisements

MEDIARAZZI can specify a skip offset for a commercial, but the player decides how the skip control is rendered and handled.

Tags and reports

6 ARTICLES

VAST URL versus MP4 URL

A VAST URL returns ad instructions in XML. An MP4 URL returns the actual video file.

Source IDs, sub-IDs and platform parameters

Optional VAST URL parameters can label where a commercial is being used so reported events can be attributed to a source or placement.

Save and manage reusable custom tags

Custom Tag Studio lets you save configured tag variants and reuse their permanent public URLs.

Understand your statistics

Statistics show player-reported events such as impressions, starts, quartiles, completions, clicks, errors and skips.

Why are impressions missing?

A VAST URL can return XML without any player successfully requesting the impression beacon.

Download statistics to CSV

Export the commercial-level event report for use in Excel, Google Sheets, or your internal reports.
