When you create responsive display ads, automatically generated videos are available as an advanced format option. If you don’t already have uploaded video content, Google can auto-generate videos for you using combinations of your images, logos, and text assets.
To create an auto-generated video, you need to add at least one logo and either 3 landscape images or 4 square images to your responsive display ad. It’s important that images meet the image quality guidelines . The automatic creation of videos can be affected by image quality issues.
In addition, there may be issues with auto-generated videos if you haven’t uploaded enough images for Google to choose from. To avoid problems with auto-generated video issues, be sure to upload assets that meet all guidelines.
Common issues that prevent auto-generated videos from being created include:
- Low image quality: blurred images, and images containing too much text.
- Unacceptable content: racist or obscene images.
- Text and logo on border: In general, we recommended not including a logo in images. Images with text or logos close to the border cannot be combined into auto-generated videos.
- Duplicate images, or multiple images that are too similar.
- Very long words requiring text wrapping.
