A banner template for the Mobile Topscroll and Mobile Midscroll format, that allows for the easy creation of a simple topscroll creative, using just a video and an overlay asset. This template is useful for cases when video content does not comply with our standard safe zones, the video and overlay will be scaled to always fully fit within the device viewport, with any empty space filled with a "blurred" copy of the video in the background. You can also add a second user initiated video, which will play if you click on the creative - this allows for heavier content such as a full-length trailer to be loaded, without impacting the initial load weight.
