Validation checklist
Before you send us a winning ad, check:
- One person is on camera for most of the ad
- The product is physical, large, and easy to see on screen
- One person only, mid shot, always in frame
- The person is close to the camera, not small in a wide shot
- Clothes have no faces or people printed on them
- Face is clear: no hands, hair, or objects covering it
- No hard cuts, transitions, or big light changes
- The clip is short and in the best quality you have
- Logo and product text are readable
- No captions or text on top of the person
- One clear voice, no loud music over it
- Your affiliate is the same gender and nationality (same accent) as the person in the ad
Also skip: wearables the person puts on, and travel or sports ads.
Fit
What works for a Delivery, and what we don't recommend
- Physical e-commerce products that show well on camera. Tech works best.
- One person, mid shot (waist or chest up), looking roughly at camera.
- Steady camera, good light, simple background.
- Short clips, no cuts or transitions.
- Clothes and accessories worn on the body (shirts, glasses, watches, jewelry): the product sits on the person we change, so it can get lost or warped.
- Travel and sports: lots of motion, scene and light changes, and the person leaves the frame.
The details
What can block a Delivery, one by one
01Ads with almost no person on camera
- Avoid
- Hands-only or product-only ads.
- Why it fails
- YPH works by replacing the person in your winning ad with each affiliate. If nobody is on camera, there is nobody to replace.
- Check
- One person is on camera for most of the ad.
02Clothes with faces or people printed on them
- Avoid
- Shirts or other clothes with photos, drawings, or faces.
- Why it fails
- The system can treat the print as another person and leave a hole in the clothes.
- Check
- Plain clothes, or prints with no faces.
03The person covers their face, moves fast, or leaves the frame
- Avoid
- Hands on the face, objects crossing in front, fast turns, the person leaving and re-entering.
- Why it fails
- The system tracks the person frame by frame. When it loses them, the swap fails or leaves bad spots.
- Check
- The person stays visible for the whole clip.
04Several people in the shot
- Avoid
- Two or more people, or a crowd in the background.
- Why it fails
- The system can pick the wrong person or mix two faces.
- Check
- Only one person on screen.
05Too far, too close, or odd angles
- Avoid
- The person far from the camera in a wide shot, face filling the whole screen, full profiles, camera from very high or very low.
- Why it fails
- The swap works best in a mid shot. If the person is far away, their face is too small to swap well. In a tight close-up or full profile, the match to your affiliate drops.
- Check
- Mid shot, person close to the camera, face and upper body filling a good part of the frame.
06Hair, glasses, and hatsUnconfirmed
- Avoid
- Loose hair that moves or covers the face, glasses with glare, hats that hide the forehead.
- Why it may fail
- Hair edges and glare are hard to cut cleanly. The swap can leave pieces of the original person.
- Check
- Clear face. If your affiliate wears glasses in their photo, the person in the ad should too, or neither should.
07Light changes, cuts, and transitionsUnconfirmed
- Avoid
- Flickering lights, jumping from indoor to outdoor, cuts and transitions inside the clip.
- Why it may fail
- Each hard change forces the system to find the person again and breaks continuity.
- Check
- If the ad has several shots, send each shot on its own.
08Long clips
- Avoid
- One very long continuous shot.
- Why it fails
- The longer the clip, the more that can go wrong, and the more it costs and takes. Short clips work better.
- Check
- Keep the ad short and direct.
09Low-quality video
- Avoid
- Low-res downloads, heavy compression, blurry or dark files.
- Why it fails
- We deliver at 768. If the original has little detail, we can't add it back, and tracking gets worse.
- Check
- Send the original at the best quality you have.
10Tiny products and tiny logos or text
- Avoid
- Products that take up little of the screen, and products whose value is in tiny letters or logos.
- Why it fails
- At delivery size, a small product has almost no detail. It can vanish, warp, or look pixelated. Same for small logos and text.
- Check
- The product is large and clear on screen, and the logo is readable.
11Text and captions on the videoUnconfirmed
- Avoid
- Captions, labels, or emojis on top of the person.
- Why it may fail
- The system can treat them as part of the person and warp them.
- Check
- Send a version with no text on top. You can add text after.
12Voice, music, and lip syncUnconfirmed
- Avoid
- Loud music over the voice, voice-over with no one speaking on camera, several voices at once.
- Why it may fail
- We use the audio to guide mouth movement. If the voice is hard to hear, lip sync gets worse.
- Check
- One clear voice, from the person speaking on camera.
13Affiliate with a different gender or accent
- Avoid
- Using the ad with an affiliate of a different gender or nationality than the person in the ad.
- Why it fails
- We keep the original voice and audio of your ad. If your affiliate's gender or accent doesn't match that voice, the result is hard to believe.
- Check
- Same gender and nationality (same accent) as the person in the ad.
