Most brands already have good video: a TV commercial, an Instagram reel, a TikTok or product footage. But a video made for a phone or TV rarely works on a roadside screen as it is. It's too long, it depends on sound, and it's the wrong shape.
That's where video editing for SMD screens comes in. We take what you already have and turn it into outdoor-ready ads for SMD screens, digital streamers and LED trucks.
Why TV and social videos fail on SMD screens
| TV or social video | Outdoor SMD / LED video |
|---|---|
| 30–60 seconds long | 10–15 seconds |
| Relies on dialogue and music | No sound at all |
| 16:9 or 9:16 frame | Screen-specific: very wide, tall or square |
| Small text is fine | Text must be large and held on screen |
| Logo only at the end | Logo early and often |
What our SMD video editing includes
- Cutting down long ads to the strongest 10–15 seconds
- Re-framing and resizing to each screen's exact resolution
- On-screen text to replace dialogue and voice-over
- Brand placement, so the logo is visible throughout
- Colour and brightness correction for bright LED screens in daylight
- Urdu and English versions from the same footage
- City or offer variations, for example a different price for Islamabad and Faisalabad
Video editing for mobile LED trucks
Mobile LED trucks are watched differently. Crowds in markets, at universities, events and rallies look for longer, so truck videos can be:
- Longer loops, several minutes made of multiple spots
- Event-specific, with the venue, date and a call to action
- Ready for live messages, with slots for announcements during roadshows and election campaigns
We edit and put together the full playlist, so the truck is ready on day one.
What to send us
- Your original video files, in the highest quality available
- Logo files, product photos and brand colours
- The message, offer or call to action
- Which screens or trucks you're booking
Why edit with the screen owner?
GillANi’s runs the screens, so we know each one's exact format. Your edited video goes live without file errors, black bars or stretched frames. Want something brand new? See SMD screen animation and video ads.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use my TV commercial on an SMD screen?
Yes, after editing. It needs to be cut to about 10 to 15 seconds, resized to the screen's resolution, and given on-screen text in place of sound. GillANi’s does this editing for every booking.
What video length works for LED trucks?
LED trucks can run longer loops than roadside screens, often several minutes built from multiple short spots, because audiences at markets and events watch for longer.
Do you make Urdu and English versions?
Yes. We can produce Urdu and English versions, and city-specific or offer-specific variations, from the same footage.
What video format should I send?
Send the highest-quality original files you have, plus your logo in vector format. We handle the conversion and resizing for each screen.
