Pre-roll
A pre-roll advertising is an ad that is displayed before the launch of the video the visitor chose to watch.
Here's a pre-roll video ad, added before the last summer interview of Christian.
During the pre-roll, the time line of the player is inactive. The user must see the all pre-roll before he can watch the desired video. If he clicks on the pre-roll, he will be redirected to the site of the advertiser.
The maximum size of the video file you will use is 4Mo. This matches 1 minute of ad. Note that the best compromise for a pre-roll video is to last between 10 and 20 seconds.
