Start with Ready-made Formats for product video: the Sume Format catalog
TikTok carousel ad music: mp3 required, silent on Ad Network
TikTok carousel ads need an .mp3 of 2 s or more, up to 10M. Library music is silent on Ad Network placements, so upload your own file there.

TikTok's Global App Bundle image ads need 9:16 at 720x1280 or more, 16:9 at 1280x720 or more, or 1:1 at 640x640 or more, as JPG or PNG within 100 MB.

YouTube A/B testing three cuts: render the variants by API
YouTube Studio can test up to three cuts of a video. To make the cuts, trim one source three ways and render each with Timeline; here is what that costs.
