Timed actions can be used to create 'Complex Interactions' within your ads. This allows you to create ads which are truly engaging and memorable. To demonstrate how these ads can be setup, take a look at the example below:
Follow this link to view the advert shown below uses complex interactions between animated elements to create an eye-catching and unique ad.
On the Actions row of the timeline, click the “+” button.
A small square labeled “0” will appear at the position of the playhead (the current time).
Select the square, then click the “Actions” button in the Animation Timeline (AT) top bar.
In the pop-up window, choose the action you want to add from the dropdown menu.
There are five types of timed actions available:
Show / Hide Element Display or hide a specific element at a chosen time.
Carousel Navigation For example: Navigate to the next or previous slide at a specific time. (Requires a carousel component in your creative.)
Animation Actions Useful when coordinating with element triggers. (i.e. you can use “Play Animation” or “Pause Animation) for interactive scenarios). Types of animation actions are:
Pause Animation
Restart Animation
Seek Animation (jump to a specific time in the animation)
You can add multiple actions to the same point in time.
The square on the timeline will display a number indicating how many actions are scheduled at that specific moment.
