Uploading Your Campaign's Creative

Submitting media to SeeSaw Networks is a simple, 3-step process that involves creating, publishing, and uploading media.

Step 1: Creating Media

The following elements are important when creating media for SeeSaw Networks.

Aspect Ratio - SeeSaw Networks delivers media to a variety of screen types and sizes. For optimal results, we ask that you submit two (2) versions of your media.

4:3 aspect ratio (format for television type screens)
16:9 aspect ratio (format for widescreen screens)
Timing - The total length of your media should fill the inventory that you have purchased. Clean lead-ins and lead-outs will help us differentiate your media from ads that may run before and after your media.

Audio - Not all ads require audio. When considering audio, you’ll need to determine the following:

Does your media require audio?
Is your media visually compelling without audio?

Step 2: Producing Media

Depending on the type of media you are creating, SeeSaw Networks accepts 2 video formats and 1 static image format.

Video Formats

Quicktime .mov (uncompressed) – Primarily used for live motion.
Flash Video .flv (24fps) – Primarily used for motion graphics and animation.

Image Format

JPEG (RGB) – A static file with no video or animation.

Step 3: Upload Media

After creating and publishing your media, you can upload the content to SeeSaw via FTP. Before uploading, contact SeeSaw Networks for your username and password.

To FTP media to SeeSaw:

Compress the files in .sit or .zip format.
Launch an FTP program, such as: Transmit (Mac OS) or CuteFTP (PC).
Connect to ftp.seesawnetworks.com.
Enter your username and password when prompted.
Transfer the compressed media file to your FTP folder. The speed of the transfer depends on the size of the file and the internet connection being used.
