Editing Adverts

The advert editor opens within the campaign editor when you add an advert or click the pencil icon next to one in the campaign's adverts list. An advert is a single cut of audio together with the rules that control when and how often it plays.

Duration

Duration

The duration of the advert, in whole seconds, used by the advert scheduler to ensure an advert block does not run over. This field is populated automatically when you choose a track or audio file. It is usually best kept to a multiple of 5 (for example 5, 10, 15 or 30 seconds) so the scheduler can fit adverts into whole minutes such as 1 minute or 2 minutes.
