Text Overlay Format
A typical video clip looks like this.
As an added benefit we use the same format as Google AdWords, so you can copy and paste the text from your Google campaigns.

Aspect ratio 4x3

Text overlays generally contain the following four lines:

Headline: (25 characters, including spaces)
The title attracts users who might be interested in your brand, products or services.

Description: (two lines of up to 35 characters each, including spaces) (optional)
These two lines contain your product, service, and other details (such as promotions). The content in these lines should be clear enough to communicate your intent.

Display URL: (35 characters, including spaces) (optional)
This line indicates which website url you would like to display.

 

4:3 vs 16:9
Two common videographic aspect ratios are 4:3, universal for standard-definition video formats, and 16:9, universal to high-definition television and European digital television.

The 4:3 ratio for standard television has been in use since television's origins and many computer monitors use the same aspect ratio. 4:3 is the aspect ratio defined by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences as a standard after the advent of optical sound-on-film. By having TV match this aspect ratio, films previously photographed on film could be satisfactorily viewed on TV in the early days of the medium.

Aspect ratio 4x3

16:9 is the international standard format of HDTV as used in Australia, Canada, Japan, South Korea, and the United States, as well as in Europe on HDTV and non-HD widescreen television (EDTV) PALplus. Many digital video cameras have the capability to record in 16:9.

Aspect ratio 16x9
