Video: VAST (Linear) Creation

How to create a VAST tag with Hosted Video.

Getting Started

With Flite's Hosted Video solution, you can now generate a VAST compliant tag which can be done through the Flite Campaign Studio. Once you've uploaded a video, you'll now see video assets available in the Campaign Studio.

Drag and Drop

VAST generation in the Campaign Studio means that you can use all existing studio tools like weighting and day-parting to drive your video campaign. Simply drag and drop your video to create a video dimension. You can add multiple videos to a single video dimension to use things like weighting. Additional settings such as Skip, Clickthrough and other relevant settings are available as well. Once you've got things configured, you can simply generate a tag through the traffic option and apply to the appropriate environments.

Use Cases

I have one video and I'd like to create a simple tag.

  1. Upload a video via the asset manager in Design Studio.
  2. Create a new campaign.
  3. Select Assets in the panel.
  4. Click to drag your video asset to the drop zone, notice that a video dimension is created. Place the video in the video dimension.
  5. Click on the dimension settings to add a clickthrough, click tracking etc...
  6. Click the traffic tab, pick the "Flive Video - VAST" ad server. Lastly, click generate tag.

I have multiple videos that I'd like to rotate.

  1. Repeat steps 1-4. A video dimension can accept multiple videos.
  2. Click on edit weight if any of these need to be updated
