Still images

JPG or PNG at exact pixel size, sRGB, under 5 MB. Keep text at least 60 px tall and avoid thin lines.

Video & animation

MP4 (H.264) or MOV, exactly 10 seconds, 25 or 30 fps, no audio, under 50 MB. No fades to black at the start or end.

Design tips

One message, large type, high contrast. Motorists have 3–5 seconds. Put the logo and one call to action in the final 3 seconds.
