Platform specs
Short-Form Video Specs for Product Marketing
A practical vertical master is 1080 × 1920 (9:16), but the destination's rules determine what it accepts. TikTok's Non-Spark in-feed ad documentation recommends 9:16 at a minimum of 540 × 960 and lists a maximum 500 MB file size. Current YouTube guidance categorizes eligible square or vertical uploads up to three minutes as Shorts. Check the publishing route and preview overlays before exporting.

Export choice versus platform rule
| Route | Useful starting point | Official requirement to check |
|---|---|---|
| Vertical campaign master | 1080 × 1920 · 9:16 | A production choice, not a universal requirement |
| TikTok Non-Spark in-feed ad | 9:16 vertical | At least 540 × 960; up to 500 MB |
| YouTube Shorts | Square or vertical | Eligible uploads can be up to 3 minutes |
| Stories / Reels | 9:16 working export | Preview current destination controls and overlays |
Duration and file limits describe publishing routes, not the length or editing features of a Glowya template. TikTok Spark and Non-Spark routes can differ.
What belongs inside the safe area?
Keep the product and essential text away from the edges where interface elements appear. TikTok supplies safe-zone files that vary with dimensions, captions and additional formats; there is no single margin that fits every placement.
Preview the actual ad or post, including captions and commerce buttons. A clean export can still have important details covered by the publishing interface.
What can a product-motion template create?
Choose a template for a specific reveal, splash, turn or scene. Follow its input and output settings, then compare the product throughout the resulting clip.
A generated clip is one creative asset. Captions, voiceover, music rights, multi-shot editing and final campaign assembly may need separate work. Do not infer those features from an example preview.
What should you inspect frame by frame?
Review the label, cap, silhouette, colour and reflective surfaces as the camera moves. Check that the apparent amount, size and features match the product being sold.
For Shorts longer than a minute, YouTube notes that active Content ID claims can block playback. Use music and footage you have the appropriate rights to publish.
