Marker Defaults allow you to set up default pre- and post-roll ad insertion markers that will automatically be added to every episode within the series, with existing ad markers.
Step 1: Go to Marker Default settings under Series Details
Go to the Series Details Page and scroll down to Marker Defaults. Click on the pencil icon on the top-right of the card to begin editing.
Step 2: Change your settings accordingly
You can change the following:
AIP Max Total Time
AIP Max Total Time allows you to set the maximum number of seconds your ads can play in this Ad Insertion Marker. If there is extra time there won’t be any silence when your ad creative ends - it will always automatically return to your episode content.
AIP Max Ads Per Insertion
AIP Max Ads Per Insertion is the total maximum number of ads that can run per ad insertion point.
AIP Priorities
AIP Priorities define the types of ads available to serve into your ad insertion marker. There are two types of ads in ART19: live reads and spots. You can choose to limit your ad insertion markers to play only live reads, play only spots, play both, or play a specific live read or spot. In most cases, selecting ‘All Live Reads and Spots’ is ideal.
You can also set a start and end date for a particular AIP Priority, but if no start date is defined, the priority will be active immediately. If no end date is defined, the priority will be active indefinitely.
Once you are done setting up your marker defaults, click Save & Close. You will be given the option to apply these defaults to episodes published in the future, or to overwrite all AIPs in identical positions in existing episodes.
