Hi,
Thats really great news.This change will definitely help as teracent offers the only video ad optimization capabilities that unlock the ROI potential of data-driven, dynamic video advertising. With Teracent’s flexible optimization capabilities, developing video ads personalized and localized to an individual user is no longer cost- or time-prohibitive.

I think this is a great idea, seems like some kind of a Wysiwyg for "non graphic" designer to design there adds but instead of being offline like regular software is web based. Curious to see how this will work…

Hi guys. Sorry but what does WYSIWYG mean?;)

Hi Joe,
WYSIWYG means "what you see is what you get", it's an editor that is intuitive.

I see that the top add puts the text in the white space (bottom add), could it be that the algor finds the white space in the image and then automatically adjusts the font size to make it fit within that space? What about .pngs, transparent gifs ect…?
