Attention

Heatmaps ​

In short

The heatmap colours the parts of your creative that are predicted to draw the most attention. Red is the strongest attention in this creative, then orange and yellow; uncoloured areas receive little. It shows where, not when.

What it shows ​

The heatmap is a colour overlay of the predicted attention map on your creative. It colours the parts the model expects to draw the most attention: red marks the strongest attention in this creative, then orange and yellow. Areas that stay uncoloured are predicted to receive little attention.

Heatmap colours are relative to the creative itself: the hottest spot is always red.

What feeds it ​

The predicted attention map of your creative, based only on what is visible. If you chose a platform, the map is predicted on your creative inside that platform's screen, and the heatmap is drawn on the framed view.

How it's built ​

The heatmap is a direct rendering of the attention map. Colours are relative to the creative itself: the hottest spot is always red, even in a creative where attention is spread thinly. Low-attention areas are left transparent rather than painted in a cool colour.

The heatmap is cumulative: it sums up where attention is likely to land over a short look. It does not show order.

Scale and direction ​

There is no numeric scale. Red is this creative's maximum; uncoloured is its lowest level. The heatmap itself has no benchmark; the scores derived from the same map, such as Focus, Spread and Clarity, do.

Image vs video ​

Images get one heatmap overlay. Videos get a heatmap video you can play alongside the original. Each video frame is scaled on its own, so colours are relative to that frame.
