What's the difference between types?
Video: it's a video that you upload manually on our server.
VAST wrapper with video: it's a VAST tag without player replacing.
VAST wrapper with VPAID: it's a VAST tag, which provides a framework for embedding in-stream video ads.
Motion banner: this is a new advertising format that allows you to interact with an audience that was previously available only to advertisers using the classic Pre-roll (a short commercial before watching the video). Motion banner is an animated banner that will be displayed before the video, without the ability to close it for a while (minimum skip time is 5 seconds or more). You can also add a brief description of the product, call-to-action, to this banner.
Also you can choose ad place (all are selected by default).
A Pre-roll ad is a video advertisement that automatically plays directly before a featured video, on both mobile and desktop.
Pre-roll is shown on the embedded video in the publisher's websites.
If a publisher uses a third-party video player on his website in which video ads are launched, this is called Embedded pre-roll.
Video Slider is a pop-up modal window in the lower right corner of the screen where the video is played.
Native Roll is a video player that appears among the content on the site, pushing it aside to play ads.
Please note that at the moment, In-Stream ad types such as Wrapper with VPAID and Motion Banner don't have traffic from ad placements such as Video Slider and Native Roll.
