Though social and display advertising have its challenges, the inefficiencies in scaling video ads are even more evident because of long rendering times. If you're going to push a video campaign across multiple markets, you have to take into account the multiple languages, products, formats, and video lengths... Which quickly comes down to dozens or even hundreds of video variations. Add to that high production costs, a lot of frustration and ping ponging back and forth with translation agencies, brand teams and marketers. This is why video advertising at scale has become a burden for marketers, especially when launching in multiple markets.
At Cape, we have a solution to this video scaling problem. We set up dynamic templates that scale your creative ideas, so you can make hundreds of variations from just one master file. These templates are especially interesting for recurring video concepts, where the set-up can be used for multiple campaigns. But, even for one-off campaigns, templates come in handy when you want to automate your local versioning. Cape offers templates to localise and scale your video ads efficiently for all markets. Manually or using feeds, you can add local outros or disclaimers, tailored copy and other elements like market specific prices, translations, and cities or names. This can all be automated!
Either create these video ads with our After Effects plug-in or our HTML5 based template, both with a different way of working their own advantages.
We recommend using HTML-5 based templates when you want to work with a real-time preview, easily make real-time changes, and if you want to keep the whole process within the Cape environment. Do you want full creative freedom when creating your video ads, such as custom animations and special effects? Then the After Effects plug-in might be the one for you!
