Background image
Upload a JPG image for the 3D background.

The background image is automatically mirrored on all sides so that the 3D effect works even when looking "outside" of the background image.

Note: The image needs to have the same aspect ratio as the Creative itself or stretching will occur.

3D Layers
3D Layers
3D Layers are grouped into 4 different depth layers: Front, Center, Near and Far. The 5th depth layer is Background.
As the names indicate, the layers define how close or far from the camera the images in the layers are.

You can see the effect when using the mouse to rotate:
The camera rotates around the Center layer.
The Near, Far and Background layers are positioned behind the center of the screen.
The Front layer is in front of the screen, looking like it is coming out of the screen.
Upload Image
Just drag and drop a JPG image over the thumbnail to upload the image or click on the thumbnail to open a file-browser.
Add Layer
Click "+ Layer" on the top of the layer group. This will create a new Image layer in that layer group.
Add Video
Click "+ Video" on the top of the layer group. This will create a new Video layer in that layer group.

You can only use one video in each 3D Poster.
Move image between 3D layers
Use the Up/Down icons to move the Image one layer up or down.
Or hold the Left mouse button on the "Drag" icon and move the mouse up or down to drag the Image to another layer.

Intro animation
Intro animation
When the banner starts, a camera animation is playing.
You can adjust the target, depth and rotation of the animation to fit to your individual 3D scene.
Tip: Set the Live Preview to Pause
While you are editing the Intro animation, set the Preview to "Pause".
Now set the timeline to the very beginning.
Also make sure that while editing "Show white fade-out" is turned off. Otherwise you will only see a white screen.

Move
Move defines the target position of the camera.
Move - Depth
The depth slider defines how "deep" the camera flies into your 3D scene in the beginning.
Rotate
Rotate defines the rotation angle of the camera.
If you don't want any rotation, just set it to 0.
Scale - Depth
"Scale - Depth" defines how much the depth of the 3D scene is stretched.
More stretching leads to a more dramatic 3D effect.
Show White fade-out
Turn this on to add a white fade-out effect in the beginning.

3D Poster Settings
Border
Creates a boarder around the canvas.
Use the color picker to define the border color.
Background
Use the color-picker to chose a background color.

Note: In some formats the whole background can be covered by other Elements. So the background color is not always visible.

Use the Color picker to chose a color.
Swipe gesture
Show
The Swipe gesture is enabled by default. Uncheck this box to hide it.
Scale and move
Use the slider to change the size and position of the Swipe gesture.
Upload image
Upload your own PNG image for the Swipe gesture by clicking on the thumbnail or using drag and drop.
Responsive
Enable
Check the box to enable Responsive behaviour.
This will turn on the automatic Responsive behaviour and enable additional Responsive features in the respective Elements.
Aspect
Turn "Aspect Limits" on to define the minimum and maximum Aspect ratio allowed for the responsive feature.
Aspect ratios below and above the defined range will create borders to fill the target area.
Scale
Defines the scaling behaviour of an individual Element.

Fixed - Does not scale at all.
Scale up - Scales up to the larger width or height. Cropping may occur.
Scale down - Scales down to the smaller width or height. No cropping will occur.
Scale Width/Height - Scale so that the size relative to the width/height stays the same.
Position
Defines the repositioning behaviour of an individual Element.

Pin - Move at a fixed distance to the anker point.
Relative - Move with a relative distance to the anker point.
Aligning
By default the aligning is turned to "automatic". In this mode the aligning behaviour is automatically set, depending on the position of the Element on the canvas.

Turn on "Align custom" to enable customized aligning behaviour and chose between "Left/Center/Right" and "Top/Center/Bottom" aligning for the selected Element.
Weight optimization
Set the maximum Quality of all JPG images.
By default the Quality is set to "90%".

To reduce the weight of your banner, just chose a lower quality setting and all images will be re-encoded to fit the new setting.
You can see the resulting size in kb in the header under "Estimated weight:".

Note: All uploaded JPG images which have a lower quality will not change at all, so your banner will never become larger than the original assets.
Only Images with a higher quality will be re-encoded to match the defined quality.

Live view
Live view
The Preview shows your interactive Creative exactly as it will be shown when it is live.
All changes will be shown immediately in realtime.
Timeline controls
Play/Pause toggles between Play and Pause mode.

Current time - Type in the current time directly
Repeat - Turn Repeat on to make the animation restart when the end of the animation has been reached.
Zoom
By default the Zoom is set to 100%.

Setting it to 50% or 75% makes the Preview smaller, so that even large Creatives can fit to very small screens.

Setting it to 150% or 200% shows the Preview larger, so that you can check for details or simulate higher resolutions.
Responsive sizes
Click on one of the icons to set your preview to the most common formats on mobile devices.

Or hold the lower left edge of the Creative preview and move it to any custom size.
Event output
The Event output shows all events that are triggered in realtime.

By default all common events are automatically integrated, including CTR, viewtime, engagement and more.
