What is Video Testing – A Short Guide
What is Video Testing?
Video testing allows for in-depth attention analysis on various types of video content. This feature is designed to evaluate how viewers might engage with your video ads, whether they are:
- TV Spots, Social Media Video Ads, or other Widescreen Videos (16×9)
- Reels, Stories, Shorts, or other Vertical Videos (9×16)
- Social Media Video Posts or other Square Videos (1×1)
By submitting your video for analysis, you will be able to receive valuable insights through a video heatmap and a focus map overlay, which provide a visual representation of viewer engagement and attention.
However, don’t expect miracles from video analysis just yet. Before analyzing video ads, you should understand the goal of the video ad and identify the most crucial elements in each moment of the video that are of interest. Once you know these details, you can examine the video heatmap and focus map to determine whether those elements are visible to viewers.
Video model accuracy
Our video testing feature has a 92% accuracy rate compared to actual eye-tracking studies. This high level of accuracy ensures that all the primary attention areas are accurately represented in the attention heatmap.
An accuracy rate of 92% means that any possible deviations from actual eye-tracking data are likely to be minor, such as slight variations in the shapes of hotspots. This ensures that the insights you gain closely reflect real-world viewer interactions and engagement with your video content. In other words, unless you’re planning to write a scientific paper based on these heatmaps or analyze each pixel, you will find our video analysis immensely useful for various business purposes.
