MACIEK: hi my name is Maciek and I work on Google Web Designer

Today I'm going to show you how to publish creatives to Display & Video 360

First I'm going to select the creative that I want to publish

You can launch the Publish dialog

by clicking the Publish button in the upper right corner of the app

You can also go to the File menu and click Publish

Here you can configure your publish creative

For this demo I'm going to leave most of these options alone

You will need to designate a Partner Advertiser and creative name

Here you can search either by ID or by the Partner name

If you don't see the partner or advertiser you want

contact your administrator

After you've chosen a Partner Advertiser and creative name

you can publish your creative to Display & Video 360

just click the Publish button

a dialog will appear and will resolve once the creative has been uploaded

once your creative has been uploaded

you can see it in Display & Video 360 under the Creatives tab

Now that your creative has been published

a link icon will appear in the Publish menu

This means that your creative is linked to a creative in Display & Video 360

The next time that you open the Publish dialog

the partner advertiser and creative name will all be filled out for you

If you wish to publish to a different partner advertiser

or under a different creative name

click the link icon in the Publish menu

Thank you for watching!

Ruler Guides Overview - Google Web Designer - Duration: 4:20.

JOEY: Hi, I'm Joey from the Google Web Designer team

and I'm here to talk about ruler guides

So the first thing about ruler guides is that

you need to have rulers enabled to use them

So rulers are enabled by default

you can see them at the top and left of the document

If you happen to have yours disabled

go into the View menu

and make sure that this rulers item is checked

And with rulers enabled you can create ruler guides

by simply clicking the ruler and dragging the guide into the stage

Once on the stage you can reposition a ruler guide

by hovering over it

you see the cursor will update to the reposition icon

and then you can drag the ruler guide to a new location

In order to reposition a ruler guide

you do need to have the selection tool enabled

so if we were to switch to say the Tag tool

you notice that upon hovering over the guide

we don't get the reposition cursor

So switching back to the Selection tool

let's add some guides to this document

You can hold the SHIFT key

to snap the guide to the nearest tick mark over here

so 20 30 why don't we place this one at 20

and we'll also add vertical ruler guides at positions 50 and 250

You can delete ruler guides by clicking and dragging them to the side

so if we want to delete this vertical guide

we simply click and drag it outside the stage

Let's do the same for this horizontal guide

All ruler guide operations can be undone and redone

So if we go to Edit Undo Edit Undo

we can undo those two deletions

Once you have the guides in the desired positions

you can lock them in place by going to

View, Guides, Lock guides

Now even with the Selection tool enabled

hovering over the guides does not show the reposition icon

and we don't need to

worry about accidentally interacting with the guides

Let's add an element to our document

so we're adding an image tag

notice that as the cursor approaches the ruler guide it snaps to it

Similar behavior occurs if you're using the Selection tool

and moving an element it will snap to either guide

if it becomes close to it

and similarly will snap to their intersection

The same thing goes if you are resizing an element

notice it snaps to the guide

If you'd like to disable this behavior you can go to View Snap to

and disable guide snapping

Now if I want to make it slightly wider than the guide

notice it is not snapping

but for this example

I would actually like it to snap precisely to the guide

If you do not want to see the guides in your document

you can toggle their visibility by going to View Guides Show guides

similarly you can turn it back on

View Guides Show guides

If you want to delete all of the guides in your document at once

you can do that in the exact same place

View Guides Clear guides

In this case we actually want the guides back

so we will go to Edit Undo

And you should know that ruler guides are saved with the document

So if you do save and close reopen the document

your ruler guides will still be there

but they are design aids visible at author time only

so they will not be included in your final published document

Finally if you don't like this blue color

that is the default for ruler guides

you can change that by going to Edit Preferences Design View

you might need to scroll down to see it

but this item here the guide's color

you can set it to whatever you like

so let's go with a red

click Save and we have these now beautiful red ruler guides

And that's it!

Thank you for listening to my intro on ruler guides in Google Web Designer

Thanks for watching

Have a good day!

Text Fitting - Google Web Designer - Duration: 4:20.

SHUO: Hello, this is Shuo from Google Web Designer

Today I'm going to talk about a feature in the Google Web Designer called text fitting

Text fitting has been used to fit text inside its container

Let's take a look at an example

Here on stage I have a very long text that runs out of its container

If I select the text

the Text fitting section will be shown in the Text panel

There are two ways to fit the text

The first way is to reduce text size to fit container

as soon as the check box is checked

the font size of the text will be automatically reduced

to fit it within the container

Here it shows the fitted size is 17 pixel

while the Text panel shows that the original font size is 30

There is another field called minimum size

which can be used to specify the smallest font size that can be reduced to

so here because the smallest font size it can be reduced to is 10 pixel

the text can be fitted to the size of 17

If I change the minimum size to be 20

the fitted size can only go down to 20 pixel

even though it still overflows

If I uncheck the checkbox

the original font size is recovered

The second way to fit a text is to truncate to fit container

When I enable truncation

the part that overflows will be removed

and the text will be truncated

when I uncheck the checkbox the original text content is recovered

If I enable both size reduction and truncation

we'll first reduce the font size

and will only truncate the text

if it doesn't fit at the smallest font size

When text fitting is enabled

we can still edit the text

To edit the text we need to first select the Text tool

As soon as you click inside the text element to start editing

we'll temporarily disable text fitting so you can edit full content

When the editing is done you can click anywhere outside the text element

and the text fitting will be automatically re-applied

Text fitting is especially useful in dynamic ads and responsive ads

Let's take a look at example of dynamic ads

Here on stage I have a text element

whose text content is bound to a field in a sample data

When I switch between no feed and the sample data

the content of the text will be dynamically changed

As a result the text content might overflow

But if I have text fitting enabled on the text block

you can see when I switch between no feed and sample data

the font size of the text will be automatically adjusted

to make sure it fits within the container

Text fitting is also useful in responsive ads

Here I have a responsive ad

and a text element that will resize when the viewport resizes

if I don't have text fitting enabled

you can see when the viewport resizes

the text element also resizes

and there's a chance that the text will run out of the container

but if I have text fitting enabled

you can see the font size of the text is automatically adjusted

when the text element resizes

That's it

Thanks for watching

Authoring Dynamic Sample Data - Google Web Designer - Duration: 7:17.

LUCAS: My name is Lucas

and I'm an engineer on Google Web Designer

In this video I'll show how to create dynamic ads

Dynamic ads include content

that is pulled from a data feed when the ad is served

This allows the ad to be customized to the person viewing it

I'm starting with a simple ad that contains two images and a headline

and I'll use the feed to set the source for each image

the headline text and the headline color

I start by going to the Dynamic panel

and in the Bindings tab I press this plus button

I first have to tell Google Web Designer

what fields are in the feed

This is also called the feeds schema

The set of schema that are available

depends upon the ad environment

This ad is for Display & Video 360

which includes both predefined standard schemas and custom schemas

that you can create using Studio

For now I'll use a standard schema

I'm now ready to add bindings

For each binding I specify an element

a property on that element

and a field in the feed that is providing a value for that property

I'll start with the text

I choose the text element

I select its content

and then I see a list of all the fields in the feed

and I pick this one

I'll add another binding also to the text element

but this time I will set its color

and then I'm ready to move on to the images

The feed contains a list of products

and for each product there's information like a description

and image URL and a price

I want the image URL so I select this field

and then I specify the index of the entry I want to use

I want the first entry so I leave the index at 0

It may seem surprising that the index of the first entry is 0

instead of 1 but that's just the convention for this kind of data

Finally I add a binding for the source of the second image

once again I select the image URL

but this time I increase the index by a 1

to use the next entry in the list

Now I see all my bindings in the Bindings panel

but it's still not clear that it's worked correctly

because on stage I just see the default document content

to get a better preview experience

I switch to the Sample Data tab

For every schema we provide a set of default sample data

that can be used for preview

if I select that data I see it rendered on stage

This data is only for preview it is not saved with the ad when it's published

and in a separate video we show you how to build the real feeds

that you use when your ad is served

This default is only a starting point

you probably want to customize the sample data for the ad you're building

and one way to do that is through this editor

Here for example I will set different headline text

In this editor you can also add entries to lists

in this case a new product

and you can delete or copy existing entries

if I save my changes I see them on stage

I can also edit sample data directly on stage

for example here I'll use the text tool to change the headline

and I can also swap in different image assets

If I switch back to the default document

I see that it is unchanged

You can use multiple data sets when previewing your ad

If you have a data set already somewhere in a file

you can import that file into Google Web Designer

You can also create a new empty data set and build it up from scratch

and finally you can copy and paste existing data sets which I'll do now

First I'll rename it and then I'll select duplicate from the context menu

and then I'll swap in a different image

I'll do the same thing at this time I will change the color of the text

and I'll also change the content

You'll notice that when I commit the change

the text is fit to its container

that's because by default all bound text has text fitting applied to it

If you don't want this behavior you can turn it off in the text panel

So I now have an ad that has four bindings

and three sample data sets and if I preview the ad in a browser

I can see all the variations in one place

If you're building more than one

ad that uses the same kind of data

you may want to share sample data between these ads

which you can do through our sample data library

To add data to the library

in the right-click menu choose add to library

I'll now open up another ad

that has a different structure but uses the same kind of data

So here is an ad that contains a simple animation

In this sample data tab I'll use this button

to open up the Library

I see that sample data set that I had just imported

and I can now add it to this document and use it here for preview

I want to finish up by talking about a more advanced use case

where we apply a transformation to the feed data before it's used

here I have a swipe gallery

and I wanted to show an image for each product in the feed

As usual I start by selecting a schema

and then I choose the swipe gallery and its images property

and now I want to get the image URL for each product

I start by selecting the Product list itself

and then I go to the Filters tab in this editor

this provides a set of simple transformations that you can apply to the feed data

here I pick one called pluck and join

which selects a field from each entry in the list

and joins them together using commas

if I now look at the swipe gallery in the

property inspector while I'm previewing sample data

I can see that it has a list of all of these images

and if I preview it in a browser

I see that it works like we expect

You can apply more than one filter to a binding

for this binding for example

let's say that I want to show at most three images

I change that first filter so it truncates the list

if it has more than three entries

and then I add a new filter that once again applies pluck and join

to this shortened list

and if I preview it in the browser

again it works as expected

That concludes this tour of authoring dynamic data in Google Web Designer

Thank you for watching

Advanced Preview Configuration - Google Web Designer - Duration: 4:05.

NATALIE: Hi, this is Natalie.

I'm an engineer on the Google Web Designer team

and in this video I'd like to show you the new and improved in-browser preview feature

Like before you can launch preview

by clicking the preview button in the top right corner

and the preview page will launch in the browser that you've selected

You'll see there's a control bar at the top

which gives you various settings for customizing preview

including choosing one of several preview modes

And the mode we're looking at right now is the all sizes mode

which is like a contact sheet view

This mode is available if your ad is responsive

And in this mode you can see your document

across many different sizes at once

and you can customize the sizes which are shown

by using the size selector menu

The drop-down shows all the responsive sizes

which are supported by the ad environment

When you launch preview in Google Web Designer

you can also select Standard instead of Advanced

under the responsive viewport options

to use a shorter list consisting of only the environment's most common sizes

If your ad also has dynamic bindings and sample data

which this document also has

you can also choose a single sample data set to apply in this mode

and we'll take a look at some more dynamic preview features later in this video

The reload button on each card lets you restart that particular ad preview

you can also use the reload button in the top right

to reload all displayed preview simultaneously

Note that if you go back to Google Web Designer

and make more edits to your document

your changes will not be automatically picked up

if you've already got a preview page open even if you reload it

so if you make more changes

you need to relaunch preview anew to see them

and then you can close the old preview page

To test your ad's responsive behavior

with some more fine-grained controls

you can switch to the single size mode

using the preview mode selector in the left hand corner

In this mode you can also select custom from the size drop-down

which will give you the ability to freely resize the viewport

to see how your ad behaves

And the rulers will show any media query breakpoints

that you've got in your ad

and you can click within the rulers to quickly set the size

within a range where a particular media query is active

If your ad has dynamic bindings

you'll also have access to the all sample data mode

which is similar to the all sizes mode

but instead of previewing your ad across many different sizes

here you can preview your ad across multiple sample data sets at once

Now let's take a look at an expandable ad

Expandable ads, interstitial ads, as well as plain HTML documents

will all open in this mode which simulates a mobile device frame

and in this mode you can interact with your ad

to see how it behaves in the collapsed and expanded states

and you can change the device using the device selector

or switch from portrait to landscape using the rotate orientation button

And like in the single size view for banner ads that we saw earlier

you can set a custom viewport size

by selecting custom from the device selector

And then you can freely resize your viewport

There's one other mode which is available for these document types

which is the desktop mode

And this mode simulates just a general large desktop size display

You'll see there's no size controls for this preview viewport

it just fills up the available area

but you can resize your browser window to change it

Documents with Parallax components

can be previewed in a special preview mode

which simulates a scrolling web page

that's got enough room for you to test scrolling your ad

completely in and out of the viewport

and test the parallax behavior

otherwise this mode has all the same controls as the mobile mode

And for very simple fixed-size banner ads

with no responsive or dynamic features

the preview page will simply not show any controls

And like before you can preview templates directly from the template gallery

by selecting the template and clicking the Preview button

That's it for this tutorial and thanks for watching

Leaked Emails Show Fox News Feeding Scripts To Trump Officials - Duration: 3:35.

It's no secret that Fox News is in bed with the Trump administration and in fact actually

parts of Fox News are quite literally in bed with the Trump family, but a lot of us didn't

quite realize how deep the connection between Fox News and the Trump administration went

until some leaked emails obtained by the Sierra Club via a Freedom of Information Act request

were released this week and that was leaked.

Emails showed that producers at Fox News, specifically for Fox & Friends, we're actually

working with Trump administration officials and their spokespeople to edit scripts, edit

questions, and basically make sure that any segment these people appeared on was 100 percent

administration friendly.

And they even let the officials direct where the conversation was going to go.

Specifically, the emails obtained by the Sierra Club relate to Scott Pruitt, the former administrator

of the EPA, and they show that the, uh, spokespeople for the EPA, the director's not Pruitt, but

the other directors who were working for him would go back and forth with Fox News producers,

edit scripts, change up questions, get them approved by the officials in the Trump administration

to make sure that these people were walking into friendly territory and that they were

able to say whatever the hell they wanted to say regardless of whether or not it was

true.

For example, Pruitt's people once pitched an idea and then had Pruitt on to talk about

the fact that their EPA is doing so much more for the forgotten communities, uh, that the

Obama administration completely ignored.

First and foremost.

There's no truth to that whatsoever.

But that's what Scott Pruitt and his EPA wanted to push out.

And Fox & Friends was more than happy to oblige.

And then one time Pruitt was actually blind sided by a guest host on Fox & Friends who

did not stick to the Trump administration approved script and started asking Pruitt

about his scandals.

Here's the thing, it's not uncommon to do pre interviews with guests that that's a given

that happens all the time.

But to let a guest come in and edit your script, to let a presidential administration changed

the questions, change the script, put it to their liking.

That is absolutely unheard of.

Fox News, I mean, they're not journalistic in any way whatsoever, but they are very clearly

committing journalistic malpractice here by allowing the administration and their officials

to dictate the terms of interviews.

And this shows you that anytime you see a Fox, uh, uh, excuse me, a White House representative,

a White House official, go on Fox News.

Do not trust a word that they say they knew in advance what they were going to be asked.

They likely approve the script for the interview themselves and they knew exactly where they

wanted to take the conversation.

Fox News has 100 percent become state run media.

And in exchange, they get boosted ratings for having a no, nothing president tweet them

out every day and tell the world how great Fox News truly is.

It is a truly great relationship between those two, but unfortunately, that really great

relationship is actually horrible for everybody else in this country.

If you're not working in the White House or working for Fox News.

Florence, Alabama Mid Century Modern House | Great Estates | Southern Living - Duration: 4:43.

I said I didn't like this room,

but now I'm saying more of it, and I love it.

(upbeat electronic music)

Okay so, we are looking at a lake house,

in Florence, Alabama.

It's on six and half acres, almost 12,000 square feet.

It's got two docks because one is not enough,

two pools, again one not enough, a helipad,

and it's at the low low price of 3.9 million dollars.

What a steal.

What a steal.

Woo, groovy!

It is groovy.

I love it.

Doin pass, and your like (snaps fingers) that's my house.

Is that what you'd do? Yep, that's what...

Finger guns?

Finger guns!

Oh the outdoor pool.

Outdoor pool, because that must mean there's...

You gotta distinguish.

A lot of houses with pools,

you miss out on the backyard for the pool.

And this you get the best of both worlds.

Yeah.

Ten of ten would swim in there.

And there's God's swimming pool.

The lake.

The lake. (laughs)

So pure.

But the lake experience overall, no sharks.

You don't have to clean the boat afterwards.

These people have it made.

Lakes are, I'm a lake person.

Oh my gosh!

Okay, I thought for a second that was the indoor pool.

Oh good, I thought so too.

But I think that's just a design on the floor.

But that looks like party central.

Is that a little kitchen over in the corner?

Maybe a little bar, action.

A little bar, to go with your pool table,

and incredibly scenic views.

It needs some low slung cocktail couches.

It's lush and green.

Yeah, it looks like a courtyard.

Oh, look at that fireplace.

How chic is that?

Oh, that's so fun with the little,

what are those called?

I actually don't know.

Fireballs, great balls of fire.

That's what those are called now.

Flora, fauna and funk.

Our aesthetic.

That's the name of our show now. (laughs)

We're changing it.

Flora, Fauna and Funk.

I mean, I just love all the light,

Me too.

If you can't be outside, then this is the next best thing.

Retro in a wonderful way, I think.

Yes, tell me, lay out your plan for this room.

Well, obviously the bed would go,

where the built in headboard shelving situation is.

I like the lights.

Those are fun, funky.

I love the lights.

Maybe you could put some little chairs

to curl up and read in over by the window.

And that view is, really killer.

Oh my gosh!

Okay, I remember seeing this online.

I love this bathroom!

I know you do, and I feel like that's a hot take in itself.

Aren't most people like,

"Eww pink bathrooms, gross, get away."

Yeah, I feel like I'm just out here alone right now.

I love a really gross retro, a mauve or a light pink,

or a pastel blue, or a pastel green,

any gross color tile, I love it for some reason.

I love this small tile, I think it makes it,

It's an easier...

I get this more.

I gotta be honest,

I'm not loving the inside the tube tile.

I'm a little...

That just look comfortable.

Also it seems, yeah.

Maybe it's just on the sides?

Surely.

I'm just kinda thinking...

And cleaning that, pass.

Look at this funky bedroom.

This is funky fresh.

I don't know, this one is making me a little sad.

I don't know maybe it's cause,

I can't see the window or something. (laughs)

I assume there's a window.

Outlook bleak.

As much as I like a funky wall,

that wall might be a little too funky for me.

If all the walls looked like that,

I'd be into it. (laughs)

Sometimes more is more.

I'm just kinda confused by that wall paneling situation.

I don't love it. I do love the desk.

I feel like I would get lots of reading and writing done.

When you're at the lake?

Well, in my dreams, Betsy, I'd be...

Are you sure you're the one,

who sits there inside and writes poetry,

while everyone else is having a big time on the boat?

Maybe, I have feelings.

Love a wet bar.

Yeah, I love this.

I'd actually probably leave it as is.

Go for it.

Get some retro bar ware, put that in there.

Would that be fun?

Whew, eee.

Yup, this is gonna have to change.

Again, great windows.

Great windows.

Probably would want to swap out...

Everything.

[Katherine] Everything else.

Also, you're at the lake,

really you're gonna be making sandwiches,

throwing them on the boat, getting out of the house.

That's so true, unless you want to sit inside

and write poetry all day.

That's pretty awesome.

You're on this little point. That's amazing!

So green!

I bet it's so quiet.

On a cove.

Heck, if I could have all that,

I wouldn't even care about the kitchen.

I would just leave it.

I would leave those ugly walls.

Heck.

Heck.

Me too.

I mean look at that, that's why you go.

No, it is, yeah.

You're not there for the kitchen

or the weird stuff in the bedroom wall.

Nope, your there to be on the water.

Your there to be on the water, and it's winning at that.

Yup.

Dividends vs Buybacks: Which Should Investors Prefer? - Duration: 2:27.

Jason Moser: "I have a question about the war on cash podcast from November 19th, 2018.

Jason and Matt mentioned that they like the buybacks of Visa, but are OK with small dividends

to fund future growth. I'm confused.

Don't both buybacks and dividends decrease the amount of cash to fund future growth?"

He goes on to say he would personally prefer dividends over buybacks.

That's cash in the pocket.

But on the other hand, increasing dividends generally represents a much stronger commitment

by management in the faith of the business because companies generally do not like to

cut the dividend, and dividends provide a more direct reward to shareholders.

Landon, you make a very good point here.

Regardless of whether it's a dividend or a buyback, the company has to fund that one way or another.

When you have a business like Visa, or MasterCard for that matter, that is as big as they are,

and have very high-margin business models, as they both do, the nice thing about that

type of investment opportunity for investors is that while the growth is going to be there,

the growth will generally be organic, and it'll be tied to general consumer spending.

These are business models that generate a lot of surplus cash.

They have to do something with it.

There's only so much they can reinvest in the business before they start getting a little bit

outside of their circle of competence, and you start seeing some deteriorating returns

on those investments.

So, you reward your shareholders either through a dividend or share repurchases.

I tend to prefer dividends, just because, like you said, Landon, they are cash in the pocket.

But by the same token, these companies do know that material buybacks over the course

of time can play out on the share price.

The fact of the matter is, when you reduce that number of shares outstanding,

that's going to give you a little bit of a different look on the value of those shares.

It should, in theory, make them a little bit more expensive over time.

All in all, we like to see a healthy mix there, and feel like, with Visa and MasterCard,

perhaps the opportunity there is to grow that dividend a little bit more substantially over time.

That's what we'll be hoping that they do.

Parallax Overview - Google Web Designer - Duration: 6:59.

NIVESH: Hi my name is Nivesh and I'm a developer on Google Web Designer.

In this video I'm going to give you an overview

of using the parallax component

to create parallax animations

As I scroll the page up or down

the foreground and background images

move at different speeds creating an illusion of depth

The parallax component relies on the ad publisher's site

to forward the page scroll events to the ad

In response to the scroll events

the parallax component animates the images.

You can find some other examples of parallax animations

in our File, New from template...

in the Parallax for Display & Video 360 category

Here are what these parallax examples look like in the browser

You'll notice that the images move vertically

as well as horizontally as I scroll the page

Now let's create our own parallax animation

Go to File, New

The environment has to be Display & Video 360 for parallax component

To add the parallax component to your project

open the Components panel

and drag the parallax component

from the interaction folder onto the stage

You can configure the parallax component

by going to the properties panel

and clicking on the Images control

or you can double click on the component itself

You start by adding images to your parallax animation

You can add images by dragging files

from your file system onto the stage

or layers panel

Or you can click on the plus button in the layers panel

and add images from the file system

You can reorder the layers by dragging

and dropping them in the layers panel

The order of the layer determines which layers display in front of each other

the higher layers display in front of the lower layers

You can also show and hide the images

by clicking on the thumbnail area

or you can click on the eye icon

to show and hide all the images

Hiding a layer can make it easier to work on another layer

For example I'm going to hide all the layers

except for the product, the text, and this big leaf

The settings dialog has three tabs

Start, End, and Preview

You configure the parallax animation

by positioning each layer where it should appear

at the start and the end of its animation

The start position is when the component first comes into view in a webpage

This part when the component is first coming into view

and the end position is

when the component has just left the viewport

So let's configure in the start position

I'm going to hide the big leaf again and I'm going to move this using

my mouse the product to the center

I can also use arrow keys

and I can hold down the shift key

to move them by 10 pixels at a time

or I can actually directly type into the layer properties panel

And in the end position, to quickly copy the values from the start position

you can click on the match position button here

Let me reposition the big leaf in the start and end position

Now I can hold down the shift key to constrain the movement

as I drag my mouse

and I'm going to move this leaf far away at the end position

And I can turn on show ghost option in the advanced properties

and this will display a translucent image of the other tab

whichever tab you're not currently editing

Ghosts are for your reference and won't show in the preview

or in the published file

Now let's preview

You can scroll up and down

and see how the visible layers behave in the sample mobile device

You can click the start or end tab to continue editing the file

so in this case I'm going to change the easing option to Ease-in-out

and I'm going to fade in the text from 0.3 to 1

and now let's preview that again

You can also set the width and height of the layers

I'm going to change the leaf's width to 250 pixels

And since the aspect ratio is locked

the height updated automatically

Note that the layer remains the

specified size at both the start and the end

That is the sizes will not be animated

When you're satisfied with the component

click Save and you'll return

to the normal Google Web Designer interface

To save time I'm going to go back to the template file

that has all the animation already set up

and we're going to go to the properties panel

and go to the scroll factor section here

This scroll factor property is used for display on Google Web Designer stage only

You can see what the ad would look like with different scroll factors

by updating this value

You can preview your ad in the browser as well

when you preview in browser

the preview page emulates how the ad displays on a web page

with enough content for you to scroll above and below the component

You can see what the parallax animation looks like

in the context of the overall ad

such as with your CTA button and exit actions

Amazon Pay is Growing Fast – Should PayPal and Apple Pay Be Worried? - Duration: 8:41.

Jason Moser: Let's kick right off here talking about Amazon.

There are a few different points to this discussion we want to get to.

We're talking primarily about Amazon's effort to gain more share in the payments space.

That's through Amazon Pay.

We can couple this discussion also with the fact that according to Adobe Analytics,

Black Friday pulled in a record $6.22 billion in online sales, which was up almost 24% from a year ago.

It was the first day in history to see more than $2 billion in sales stemming from smartphones.

That's where I really want to pick this conversation up here.

Not only are we living in an e-commerce world, we're certainly living in a mobile world, as well.

For a lot of us, Amazon Pay probably isn't top of mind, yet we're reading now that they're

really making efforts to gain share, it seems like initially with companies that are not

necessarily direct competitors, like gas stations or restaurants or what have you.

It does seem like they're trying to take a little bit more of that role in the transaction,

much like we've seen Apple do to date with Apple Pay. But it's also not just Apple.

There are all these payments companies out there, trying to get a little piece of that transaction.

Talk a little bit about your experience with Amazon Pay.

Give us a little bit of your perspective here as to what the endgame is with Amazon.

Matt Frankel: I was on a certain retailer's website.

I can't tell you what I bought, or who I bought it from, because it was an anniversary gift

for my wife, who listens to the show. Moser: Oh, so you really can't.

I was going to say, "You can't, or you won't?" But it's both.

Frankel: I really can't.

It was a small business, something you would see featured on Shark Tank.

It struck me as somewhere that gets most of their sales from Amazon to begin with.

This was directly on their website.

I went to check out, they were having a great Black Friday sale.

I went to their website, selected my products, and went to the checkout.

And there were two buttons. There was a PayPal button and an Amazon Pay button.

I was curious, because I had never seen that on a merchant's website.

Amazon really hasn't pushed it until recently.

So, I clicked Amazon Pay, and it took me right to my Amazon checkout, where I have my Amazon

credit card already set up. It was just like checking out for a normal Amazon purchase.

It took me about two clicks. It was very easy.

I was actually going to use PayPal, and I like this alternative because it lets me keep

all my purchases in one place.

I'd say about 50% of what my wife and I order is already through Amazon.

It lets me organize my purchases into one payment portal.

I actually think PayPal might have something to worry about here.

Moser: That's a good perspective there.

I want to ask you, the initial thing that comes to mind here where I think they may

have a little bit of a challenge, we know that to date, the U.S. consumer isn't necessarily

all that digital-wallet-focused yet.

That's still something that we're in the very nascent stages of, and I think it's going

to take a while for that behavior to really change.

You look at something like Apple Pay, for example, as clever as that is, consumers still

aren't embracing that wholeheartedly.

Whether it's Apple Pay or Google Pay or Amazon Pay, the digital wallet, there's a big opportunity there.

That explains why Amazon is pursuing this.

The one hang-up here I have with Amazon and the process that you just described, it sounds

like there's a little bit more friction in there vs. if I go somewhere, whatever website

it may be, and I have the option to pay with Apple Pay. When it says, "Do you want to use Apple Pay?"

And you can just use your thumbprint to verify the transaction, as opposed to having to go

to another website and verify that purchase.

What I'm getting at here is ultimately, it feels like Apple, and to a degree Google,

have a hardware advantage that Amazon doesn't have to date.

Does that make sense? Frankel: Yes, but here's my perspective on that.

I don't necessarily think this will steal any market share from people who are already

on Apple Pay or PayPal. Both of those are, like you said, very easy portals.

They both have hardware advantages over Amazon.

But there are a lot of people who are not using digital wallets yet who are already

comfortable with Amazon's checkout process.

I don't necessarily think they're going to steal market share or steal existing customers

from any of the other ones, but I do think it gives them an advantage recruiting

new adopters to digital wallets. Moser: Probably, you're right.

We talk about this all the time, this is not a zero-sum game. It's not as if one wins and everybody else loses.

This is a massive opportunity out there. At the end of the day, money is going everywhere.

That's what dictates everything, basically, is money getting from point A to point B.

Pursuing even just a small piece of that pie makes a lot of sense, particularly in Amazon's case,

because really, you have to figure for them, this is a very easy bet to make.

The business certainly isn't hinging on it. At the most, they get a tiny scrape of that transaction.

When Apple Pay is used, Apple gets a very, very tiny scrape of that transaction.

It's not terribly meaningful.

It becomes meaningful if you have a billion people using it on a consistent basis.

And obviously, we're not to that point yet.

But even beyond the financial implications, I would imagine that a company like Amazon,

as smart as they are about using data and doing things with that data, just gleaning

the data from transactions like these would be seen as a reasonable pay-off.

Frankel: Right, and that seems to really be what they're after here.

I've actually read that Amazon is subsidizing the swipe fees for merchants -- not swipe fees,

but whatever the swipe-fee-equivalent of digital wallet fees are.

They're actually subsidizing the fees to get retailers to put the Amazon Pay button on

their website at a lower cost to them.

It's fair to say Amazon's not making money on this, but it's expanding their reach.

Anything that expands Amazon's reach, data-wise, customer-wise, merchant-wise, is good for

the long-term business. Moser: Makes sense to me.

I don't think Amazon's going to ever going to have a hardware advantage at least on the

smartphone side. They tried with the Fire phone.

They were late to the game, tried to do something a little bit different, but there was nothing

terribly compelling to get someone to switch, particularly if you're already used to a certain operating system.

I'm also skeptical when it comes to incorporating things like voice assistant technology into

actually paying for things. With all that said, things change very quickly.

Technology is evolving seemingly on a daily basis.

I'm going to be interested to see where Amazon takes this.

Amazon Pay has been around for a while, they just haven't done much with it.

Perhaps we're entering this stage now where consumers are going to be a bit more open

to adopting digital payments and digital wallets and whatnot.

If that's the case, clearly we can see there's a lot of market share there to pick up.

For Amazon to try to be a part of that makes perfect sense.

Frankel: To be perfectly clear, PayPal, Amazon Pay, and Apple Pay all have tremendous growth runways.

PayPal's growth rate could go from 20% to 19%. I'm not saying they're going to really suffer.

To be clear, I still love PayPal on a long-term basis.

Moser: Gotcha!

We want to make sure we respond to the inevitable e-mail we're going to get.

We're not saying, "Short PayPal, long Amazon." You're probably saying go long on both, right?

It's reasonable to just diversify your portfolio, own shares in both companies.

Frankel: Right. Both companies are going to be winners.

I could just see the tweetstorm going off in my head when I was saying that.

Moser: Well, we'll get out in front of it if that does happen.

How to use Google Analytics - Track important behaviors! How to setup events in Analytics - Duration: 4:35.

In this video let's talk about how you can actually set up

events.

Now there are numerous ways to do this in Google Analytics and

we're talking about things like this.

Where you come into your analytics you go to your top

events in the events report which is under your behavior

reports here and you can go through and you can see the

different actions that are coming through the different

categories that are coming through in this case we're

looking at a Contact Us form on that Google Merchandise Store.

So these are all the specific behaviors that are being stored

by your Google Analytics but how do you get that information in

there where there's multiple ways to do that?

One is using Tag Manager.

If you are not using that, definitely beyond the scope of

this video, but Tag Manager is a must use tool for you.

It's amazing.

It gives you as a marketer immense power to be able to

track very specific behaviors things like did they interact

with my video.

Did they play?

Did they watch half my video or 25 percent of my video did they

finish my video?

You could also tracks things like scroll rate or if they

became a lead like so many great things you can do it.

Google Tag Manager and then you tell Tag Manager, hey send an

event to Google Analytics and then Google Analytics will store

it in the events report.

That's it gets there.

There were also plug ins that you can use this for.

So you've got different wordpress plugins that are out

there is a couple of them that you can see here on the screen

but these are plugins that will automatically send events into

your Google Analytics assuming you set them up to do that.

There are ways to manually do this but this is one that I

wouldn't recommend.

While you can manually tag this it requires you to go back into

the code and update it.

If you're a developer and you're used to that, that's great but

it makes it really hard to change later if you want to do

that.

I would instead recommend using Tag Manager absolutely

incredible tool if you're not using it.

That's the way that I would do this and I would also skip the

custom implementation again unless you are at a skill level

that makes a lot of sense for you tag manager probably will

just be the way that you're going to go.

I'd even skip the plugins instead of using the plugins i

would use Google Tag Manager

That's sort of the mechanisms that you would do.

Then you want to think about how you actually create this event

and the way that you do it is you think about in terms of

hierarchy.

It is the little Russian nesting doll.

So first you start with the category.

So in that example we showed we had this contact us as a

category that was showing in the Google Merchandise Store.

Underneath that it was the type of interaction which in that

case they were they on site click.

And then after that it was like okay which type of on click and

they showed phone on site click an email on site click and you

walk through this just real quickly we can see here.

So first I go to my top top level.

So I'm going to go to our top events I'm looking at all of our

top events and I just want to see the categories in this case

so top events are categories.

So this is at the category level.

We go back here's the category level and you go into analytics

to click on the Contact Us.

So now I'm going to basically drill down so I'm just looking

at the next stage case in this case we're coming down to

actions to categorize the action and the action is on site click.

And if I drill down and go further down now I'm at the

event label which you can see here now I'm and the label and

that's where I see email or phone.

So it's levels of information that you get and ultimately you

can associate a value to that as well.

If you would like.

So that's sort of the way that you would structure your events

in Google Analytics.

Finally I want to show you just one other very quick way to use

your events reports in Google Analytics and that is through

this page's report and what this is showing is pages that are

actually being recorded by Google Analytics.

But that also had events on them.

So in this case some I'm in the Merchandise Store. I'm going to

click on the redesigned bags page.

If I click into that, now I'm going to see the different event

categories that reported on that page.

I can see 39 people 18 unique events I should say here.

So 18 unique events were triggered on the contact us, on

that page.

Now how powerful is that.

Again, you can drill down and see on site clicks and then

whether or not they were phone or email clicks that were coming

through. But it really gives you an idea. Starting, looking at

your events and analyzing your events from this pages report is

unbelievably powerful.

So if you are not using events it's a huge section of Google

Analytics that you are not taking advantage of.

Definitely be sure you are.

And if you do have events coming through take a look at the

different ways you can access the events including the events

flow report the top events the overview and the pages report.

Because you are sure to be able to grab insights that you would

not find in any other way.

I would love to know how you're actually using this information

to improve your own marketing efforts.

So if you leave a quick comment below to let us know that would

be outstanding.

Also if you'd like topics around Google Analytics be sure to like

this video and subscribe to the CXL channel.

That we are notified when new videos are available.

Submit Your Sightings on eBird Mobile - eBird Essentials - Duration: 4:31.

(Music)

With eBird Mobile,

birding has never been easier.

This mobile app helps you to quickly enter checklists

and keeps track of your exact birding route,

letting you just enjoy the birds.

When you're ready to start birding,

the first thing to do is start your checklist.

Next, you'll need to select your location.

There are a couple ways to do this.

The simplest is to choose a location from a map.

Once the app locates your position on the map,

select a nearby hotspot,

or create your own personal location

using the prompts on the screen.

When you're happy with your location, hit Next.

Typically, you'll be entering a checklist in real time,

so the app knows the date and time you're starting.

I want to record my track, so I'll leave that on.

Tracking is a great feature that allows eBird

to fill in where you're birding,

how far you travel,

and how long you're birding for.

It keeps track so you don't have to.

All right, you're all set.

Now click Start New Checklist.

eBird provides a list of expected species

that are likely to be at your location

at that time of year.

You'll fill in this checklist as you go.

Once you've found a bird you know by sight or sound,

the fastest way to add it is to type right here

in the quick entry bar.

Let's start with two Mallards out on the pond.

Type the number of birds, two,

and the species, Mallard,

then select the species from the checklist.

And you're all set.

It's that easy.

Let's enter a few more sightings the same way.

Here's five Canada Geese foraging in the grass.

Sounds like there's a Red-tailed Hawk calling nearby.

(Red-tailed Hawk calling)

And there's an Osprey eating a fish.

And a Great Blue Heron flying overhead.

You can see all the birds you've already tallied

by switching to the checked view.

This is particularly helpful for adding more sightings

to a species.

For example, you see three more Mallards.

Tap the number three times, and you're all set.

You'll notice some birds have these icons

next to their names.

These show whether a bird is infrequently

reported or unreported for that region

and time of year.

By tapping a species name,

you can make changes to your tally

or add comments about the bird's field marks,

it's behavior, the habitat you saw it in,

or anything else you find interesting.

This is especially important

for those rare and unusual sightings.

You can see where you've been by clicking here

to review your track.

When you're finished birding,

tap Review and Submit.

If you have an active track,

eBird will ask you if you're done birding.

Tap Stop track to confirm.

Before you can submit,

eBird asks if you're submitting a complete checklist

of the birds you were able to identify.

Complete checklists are eBird's way of knowing

you've identified and reported all of the birds

you saw or heard to the best of your ability.

It's not possible to detect every single bird.

Nobody can do that.

As long as you've listed all of the species

you could identify,

then check Yes.

Next is info about your birding outing.

This is what makes eBird tracking great.

Tracking has already defined your checklist type

based on whether you were moving or stationary.

Tracking also fills in the duration and distance traveled.

You can change your checklist type

and edit the other fields if you need to.

You can also enter comments about your birding experience.

You can document the weather,

other animals you saw,

or any other fun memories.

Last, but not least,

you can review the species you reported.

When you're ready, click Submit.

Congratulations, you're an eBirder.

You're now part of the largest birding community

in the world.

Explore Merlin Bird ID App - eBird Essentials - Duration: 3:17.

(music)

Merlin is a free app

that uses five simple questions

to identify the birds you find,

providing real-time bird ID guidance,

right in the palm of your hand.

This is such a cool app,

you'll just have to see it in action.

Let's say we're out birding,

and we see a mysterious small bird perched on a fence.

Time to put Merlin to work.

Start Bird ID and Merlin asks, where did you see the bird?

You can choose your current location,

choose a position on a map,

or simply type in a place or postal code.

For this, I'm going to type in Ithaca, New York.

Next question, when did you see the bird?

Today's date will automatically appear first,

so July 23rd works for me.

Question three, what size was the bird?

Okay, Merlin uses a ruler

based on some common types of birds.

Was the bird sparrow-sized or smaller?

Goose-sized or larger?

Or somewhere in between?

Sometimes this is hard,

especially if the bird moves too quickly,

but give it your best guess.

I think our bird is slightly larger than a sparrow

and smaller than a robin,

so I'll choose between sparrow and robin.

On to number four, what were the main colors?

Again, this may be difficult depending on the bird

and the time of day you see it,

but try to choose up to three

of the most obvious colors you saw.

I saw some blue on its back, orange on the throat,

and some buffy brown on the belly.

Finally, what was the bird doing when you saw it?

Eating at a feeder, swimming?

No, and it wasn't on the ground.

A-ha, on a fence or wire.

And that's it.

These deceptively simple questions

are at the core of all bird ID.

Next, we'll get our results.

Merlin provides a list of birds you are most likely to see,

based on your description

and eBird data for that location and time of year.

And here's our list.

Hey, that's it, it's a Barn Swallow.

You can check out photos of the species,

listen to songs and calls,

and browse the rest of the list to see other similar birds.

Once you've identified your bird,

be sure to help Merlin learn by choosing This is My Bird.

If you're able to get a photo of the bird you see,

you can also use the incredible Merlin Photo ID feature.

Select an image from your phone or snap a new one.

Zoom in so the bird fills the frame, then click next.

Confirm the location and the date and hit Identify.

Like magic, Merlin analyzes the photo

and gives you a list of most likely species.

Yep, that's a Barn Swallow.

Thanks to cutting edge computer vision technology,

Merlin Photo ID is more than 90% accurate

for thousands of species of birds.

Isn't that amazing?

Reporting Unusual Birds on eBird Mobile - eBird Essentials - Duration: 2:33.

(music)

There are times

when birds turn up somewhere unusual,

either by themselves, or in huge flocks.

And if you have the chance to see them, that's amazing.

These can be some of the most magical moments of birding.

In these special cases, eBird will need

some additional information from you,

to confirm your sightings

before you can officially submit.

Let's walk through some scenarios.

Let's say you're out birding at Cape May,

on the New Jersey coast, in October.

You're excited to come across a Fork-tailed Flycatcher.

You go to add it to your checklist,

and see an R next to it.

This is eBird's way of noting

that the bird is rare in that location.

How cool is that?

You finish your birding trip, and go to submit,

when suddenly, you receive this message.

One or more birds on this list require confirmation,

which normally means that either the bird is rare,

or the count is unusually high.

Please check to be sure that all birds

on this checklist are confirmed.

Please include comments for each.

Tap OK, and look at your species list.

Notice the box to the right of the Fork-tailed Flycatcher.

Tap this box to confirm your sighting.

Next, you'll need to add some comments about your sighting.

Simply tap the bird's name, and add details about the bird,

and how you identified it.

Describe the field marks you saw,

its color, pattern, shape, and size.

You can also note the bird's behaviors,

the habitat you saw it in,

and any other details that may support your sighting.

Even better, did you get a photo,

or audio recording of the bird?

Make sure to upload your photos and sounds

on the eBird website, to support your checklist.

Another reason you may receive this message,

is that you've documented an unusually high count

for a species for that location and time of year.

This will give you an exclamation mark,

to notify you that what you reported was unusual.

Like with rare species, we recommend that you add comments

about how you counted the birds.

Now that you know some basics

on how and why eBird may ask you

for more information on your data,

you're good to go.

Let's go find some rare birds.

Elementalist Build Guide - Dragon Age Inquisition Multiplayer 2018 - Duration: 8:00.

Greetings in this video we're gonna be going over my build for the Elemenatlist in Dragon Age Inquisition Multiplayer

So my name is DanteofGagamor and I play RPGs like Dragon Age

Mass Effect and the Elder Scrolls, and I also play FIFA

Be sure to stick around to the end of the video and I'll give and I'll show you

How to use this build in combat and give you some more tips, but let's get into it. So

For the abilities, we're gonna start with the

Destruction line so you have to start off with Immolate, which is

Like a fire explosion over a certain area

I got the add on the Wildfire add-on which just means it burns hotter and has a shorter cooldown time allowing you to use it

More often. And then you have to get all the all these passive abilities, Conductive Current

Flashpoint, Clean Burn,

Pyromancer. So these will

sometimes give you willpower or magic

They are essential in order to get to these two

So let's start off with Energy Barrage

Which is where you shoot out numerous projectiles based on your staffs magic so that could be fire

It could be frost could be electricity. And I also got the add-on which is Energy Bombardment

So each hit from Energy

Barrage

Lowers the targets resistance to your staffs magic for a short period of time so whether that's you know that's Spirit, Electricity, Frost, Fire

Whatever. And then this is without a doubt my favorite

power my favorite active ability in multiplayer

Firestorm it's where you summon flaming meteors that are great

If you're in a bind if you're if you're at at a choke point or crowd control

These are excellent. And then you also want to get these passive abilities, Death Siphon combine this with the Life Drain ring

We're going to go through inventory in just a bit

but combine this with Life Drain and you're gonna be regaining health at a very quick pace, so this

At every time an enemy dies nearby you regain both health and mana. Okay, and then Stormbringer is a

Lightning bolt that periodically comes to your aid zapping a random nearby enemy

So I didn't get those two, but I got this one here Control of the Elements all staffs effects that you inflict last longer

I did this so these spells a little bit more umph plus you also get magic as well

And then you're gonna want to get Defiant which is where you get Magic and Cunning

I like this because it's gives you two, Magic and Cunning for one passive ability. So it's like a two-for-one :)

And then if we go over to the Control tree line

You have to get Winter's Grasp and then you have to get all of these, Peaceful Aura makes you less aggressive

Enemies are less likely less likely to attack you. You also get Willpower. Winter Stillness

You stand still and it will restore your mana at and enhanced rate and reduces all your cooldown times. You also get Willpower

And you also get for the next one Guardian Spirit

This is this has saved me so many times when you're about to die

If an enemy lands a killing blow instead this barrier will pop up and that has to be depleted before you can die

Which gives you a chance to get out of there. Then you also get a Barrier

This is also very important. This is like another health bar

And I also got the add-on for that, Elegant Defense which just reduces the cooldown time by about 4 seconds

Strength of Spirits is the passive ability after that which is when you your barriers draw on magic of the fade

To absorb more energy before they deplete so this that's just a barrier bonus. I also got the passive ability of Veiled Riposte

So whenever you have a barrier active enemies to attack you take damage or return. This also gives you magic

This is helpful if you find yourself surrounded or if your Barrier is starting to deplete.

Or you're having trouble wearing down an enemy. All of this helps, right? It deals damage

20% of the damage they inflict on you is returned

And then I also got the passive ability of Gathering Storm

This is when each basic attack shortens your active cooldown times. It also gives you 3 willpower

So the Firestorm has a 60 second cooldown. They may not seem like a lot but in a fight

Every second counts right if you if you're surrounded by

Tons of enemies you want your your big powers to come back quickly and this is crucial for that

All right. So that's my ability list how you map them is up to you

it doesn't really matter and then

For this build I can play on Threatening and Perilous provided you have a good team and you play smart

Beyond that it doesn't really depend on your build or even what staff you have

Or armor it all depends on your core stats, would you improve by promoting characters.

FYI

Ok, so let's go through the inventory

So for the weapon, I have the Staff of Stasis and I have the Superb Spirit Rune on it

The weapon isn't crucial to the build and but that just depends or that will dictate what damage you deal

what type of damage and the armor I have the Drake Scale you get that when you hit one million xp with the mages and

Then accessories. Okay. So let's start with the belt.

I don't havae the Superb Belt of Melee Defense because you want to stay back with Mages in general and with this build

You don't want to be caught in

Melee exchanges you want to stay back and rain down damage from a distance. Belt of Health is what I have.

As my health as you can see isn't

You know too high to begin with. And then the Rings I have is the Enhanced Immolate Ring.

Which just increases the ability duration by about 30% and then I also have the Life Drain Ring on. Now

this combined with Death Siphon. Very useful.

So this gives me 2 percent heal on kill and then for the amulet I have the Amulet of Magic which just boosts

My magic capabilities which makes my spells more powerful. Alright, so you made it to the end

Let's go into a quick match and I'll show you

How to use this build in combat. Okay, so

Look everyone. Okay, so you're in combat here. That would I

What I would prioritize first is Barrier you want to get that cast. So keep your distance. "This is quite amazing" Then take him down.

You can take this guy down. So he's gonna charge at me, right?

If I can just kind of navigate around him and use Immolate, and he's dangerous at a distance.

So that was that passive ability, right?

Which allowed me to use it twice in quick succession?

Okay, now I just want to show you the firestorm look when there's a group of them

Here so that was again that lightning bolt coming to my defense

Okay, so there's both three of them here two warriors. I probably won't be able to get to all of them.

So what I'll do is I will call this down and that's going to knock em down.

I can fall back a little bit and then, going to take them down.

So just like how you map your abilities will depend on how you play so will how you use them so

If you like to get into

melee more

Then then just tweak it to fit your playing style

This is a build guide right, you guys can make it your own you can tweak it you can get different passive abilities

But this is my build and it's worked quite well for me. He's by far my favorite character and I definitely
