Implementation Steps
Mixpeek analyzes video content to identify optimal ad insertion points (scene breaks, topic transitions) and matches contextually relevant ads

Identify Optimal Insertion Points
Find viewer-friendly ad placement moments
const insertionPoints = await client.ads.findInsertionPoints({video_id: videoId,constraints: { min_spacing: 300, avoid_action_scenes: true, prefer_transitions: true },target_density: 'medium'});
Match Contextual Ads
Select ads matching video context
