Adding Video to a Billboard Ad

[Mobstersinc]

Hi all, I'm trying to add a video clip to my ad. So an image on either side and the moving footage in the middle. I've created what I think is right but don't know how to save it as a .mov .mp4 or .swf. Not sure when submitting what "Dynamic Content" is? Can anyone help, please?

The Layers Panel does not seem to display a video layer, though. 

As for exporting: Have you tried File > Export > Render Video?

Ah, so I cant just drag and drop it in? Do I import it in somehow?

Your screenshot does not show all the Layers so I am not completely sure what you mean.

Hi, sorry 😕

I cannot make out a video layer, did you place the video already? 

Please post a screenshot including the Timeline Panel.

Hi. Layer 7 is the video layer, I opened it on a different page and dragged it over.

So does it work as expected? 

Is the problem the exporting?

You need to start with the video at the required resolution.  Let's say it is 4K which means the pixel dimensions would be 3840 x 2160.  If you'd gone with 1080p the pixel size would be 1920 X 1080.  These are a given and what you have to work with.

You can see that the video is in Video Group 1.  You don't need to add video groups to add the still images so long as they are placed above the video group in the layers panel as below.  (These are transparent PNG images with no background)

An easy way to introduce your still images is to use Place Embeded as below.  You might need to drag to extend them in the timeline.

When done, click on the menu in the top right corner of the timeline, and chose Render Video this will open the Media Encoder. Chose the settings you need, and click on Render.
