Amazon Post_videos with letterboxing, pillarboxing

Hello,

I tried uploading a vertical video on Amazon Post, but it added black bars on the sides because the content frame is horizontal.

It also wouldn’t let me upload the video, and Amazon provided the following message:

Do you have any ideas on how to solve this issue?

Good Evening @Seller_itDcIupzbDnhS,

I just wanted to stop by as I have seen other videos on the platform with the black bars the sides that were also horizontal on detail pages as well, so I believe this behavior is normal however, based on the help page below there might be something else going on.

-->HERE<-- is the help page that was mentioned to you in the rejection message. I wanted to highlight the latest guidelines as of October 2024:

3.14 Video and Video Posts Guidelines

General guidelines

Sponsored Brands Video and Video Posts allow you to engage your customers by including compelling videos. Video can be in vertical (9:16) or horizontal (16:9) format under Sponsored Brands video, and vertical (9:16) only under Video Posts.

The video in your ads must be relevant to the product or brand and lead to a contextually relevant landing page.

Video asset requirements

Please ensure that your video complies with the following guidelines:

  • Letterbox or pillarbox formats: Videos must not have continuous bars on any side of the video content. If they only appear in a few frames or the end card, this can be approved.
  • We do not permit blank or black frames at the start or end of videos.
  • Video ads cannot end in ways that truncate a description (voice over, speech or written text) in the middle of a sentence.

For Posts caption policies, please see here.

Please let me know if you have any questions regarding the content I have shared above or you can reach out to Advertising Support at any time. I hope you have a lovely rest of the week and take care. 😊

Sincerely, Cooper_Amazon
