Commercial thumbnails and previews

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

What you need to know

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

Step by step

  1. Open Commercials and find your video.
  2. Use the preview controls to check picture and audio.
  3. On Ad Pods, confirm each item has the correct thumbnail or preview.
  4. If a thumbnail is blank, verify that the associated commercial is Ready and its video plays.

Tips and common mistakes

  • Imported external MP4 files may not have the same generated thumbnail coverage as uploaded videos.
  • A blank thumbnail alone does not prove VAST delivery has failed.
