Fitting Amazon Nova Reel output into YouTube ad formats

Amazon Nova Reel publishes one resolution, one frame rate and a length that moves in six second increments up to two minutes. It is the length in this register that behaves as a multiple rather than a range or a menu, so an ad either divides by six or gets rewritten. As of 2026-09-22.

Inclusion rule. Formats from Google's own help page, matched only against limits the tool vendor publishes. Where either side does not state a value, the row says so rather than estimating. Order. Shortest format first, as on the placements page.

1How much each tool puts in writing

Inclusion rule. Tools with a sheet on this site, counted by how many separate output limits their own pages state. A limit mentioned only in a launch post is not counted. Order. Alphabetical by tool name.

Inclusion rule. Tools publishing output limits on their own product pages. A tool silent on this particular limit keeps its row, marked hollow. Order. Alphabetical by tool name.

2Six seconds is the grain, and a minute is one request

The model table gives duration as six second increments up to two minutes, and a separate line says that reaching past six seconds requires the v1:1 model ID. Read together, those two sentences describe something none of the scene generators here offer: a single request that returns a full minute of picture, already cut into beats.

That reverses the usual problem. On a tool with a fifteen second ceiling, a minute is four separate jobs and the editor inherits three joins. Here the joins are inside the request, made by the model, and what the advertiser gives up is the ability to place them. A bumper is one beat; a sixty second non-skippable is ten beats the model decides the shape of.

3One resolution, and no shape named anywhere

1280x720 sits in the table as the single resolution and 24 frames per second as the single frame rate. Neither is a ladder, so there is no tier to buy up to and no cheaper rung to fall back on, which is unusual on these sheets and makes the row read as a fixed format rather than a configurable one.

The aspect ratio column stays empty for this entry. A 1280 by 720 frame is widescreen by arithmetic, but the page names a resolution and never names a shape, and a register that converted one into the other would be publishing its own inference as a vendor statement. The practical consequence is that a vertical placement cannot be planned from this page at all.
