Specialty Templates

There are a few select templates in the HootVid library that require certain specifications. Several are listed below.

Info

If you are working on one of these specialty templates, reach out to Hoot support for any needed specs.

Companion GreenScreen

  • Same Video/Audio Specs as normal companion Ad

  • Best practice for positioning Talent: 

    • Keep talent within left 50% of the frame

    • Knee-up or waist-up framing of talent

    • Talent will gesture to the left/right (depending on the template) with any direct reference to inventory

    • Ensure that the talent’s gestures/body (other than legs/feed) are not moving out of frame.

Custom Frame Companion

This template utilizes custom-sized background assets. The specifications for each section are outlined in this sample graphic.
