Can I use an image instead of a video in a Sendspark dynamic video?

Dynamic Video Campaign

Absolutely! While Sendspark is built for creating dynamic videos, you can still leverage its personalization features with images.

Here's how to use an image as a background in your Sendspark dynamic video:

1. Prepare your image: Upload your desired image to Google Drive.

2. Share the image publicly:

In Google Drive, right-click on the image and select "Share."

Under the "Get link" section, change access to "Anyone with the link can view."

Click "Copy link" to obtain the public sharing URL.

3. Create your Sendspark dynamic video:

Follow the usual process for creating a Dynamic Video Campaign in Sendspark.

When editing the Background URL field, paste the copied public sharing URL from Google Drive into this background URL field with a slight modification. You need to correct the last section of it. Instead of "EDIT", it should say "PREVIEW" instead:

Original Link:

Edited Link:

4. Additional Tips:

-Consider using a visually appealing and high-resolution image for best results.

-Remember to keep the public sharing link active on Google Drive while the campaign is in process.

By following these steps, you can create personalized image messages with Sendspark, adding a unique touch to your outreach campaigns
