Amazon AI Rufus: Product Discovery Explained

Why Amazon Rejects Your UGC (And the Split-Screen Fix)


Listen Later

Your UGC library is full of content that converts. Amazon is rejecting all of it — because it's the wrong shape.


Why does Amazon reject portrait video, and what's the fastest way to fix it?

 

Amazon requires 16:9 landscape for both listing videos and Sponsored Brand Video ads. Portrait UGC gets rejected outright — no cropping, no reformatting. The fix is a split-screen template: portrait UGC on one half, branded panel on the other. One afternoon to build it. Every piece of UGC you've ever shot now has an Amazon application.

 

In this episode, you'll learn:

  • Why Amazon's video spec rejects all portrait UGC — and exactly what the upload system does with it
  • How the split-screen format makes any 9:16 clip compliant for listing video and SBV ads without reshooting
  • Why UGC outperforms polished brand video on watch time and click-through, and how to stop leaving that conversion lift on the table

 

Most brands are running two separate content pipelines when they only need one.
