Google Ads YouTube Ads Need a Business Name and Logo by October 12

A mid-size home goods brand running YouTube in-stream ads through Display & Video 360 got an unpleasant surprise last week. Their trafficking team tried to update a line item that had been running fine since spring, and the save button just would not go through. No error dialog explaining the real problem, just a quiet validation failure where a business name field used to be optional. Three days before October 12, 2026, that field stops being optional for every single advertiser running YouTube ads through DV360, and a second, related change hits anyone who manages ads through bulk uploads instead of the UI.

If you run YouTube campaigns through Google Ads or DV360 and you have never explicitly set a business name and logo for them, this is the post to read before Monday, and if you manage the broader creative pipeline behind those campaigns, Miraflow is worth having open in a tab while you work through the checklist below. Not next week. The deadline is genuinely three days out from today, and unlike a lot of "Google Ads changes something" posts, this one has a hard, specific, checkable failure mode: miss it, and your YouTube & partners line items stop accepting edits or stop serving correctly until someone fixes the asset.

TL;DR

Starting October 12, 2026, Google requires a business name and a square logo on every YouTube & partners line item in Display & Video 360, according to Google's own Display & Video 360 Help page. The same requirement extends to YouTube responsive ads created or updated through Ad Structured Data Files, the bulk upload format DV360 traffickers use to manage hundreds or thousands of line items at once, per Google's Ads Developer Blog post from August 27, 2026. Regular Google Ads video campaigns, meaning Video view campaigns, Video reach campaigns, Target frequency campaigns, YouTube Pause ads, and certain Reservation campaigns, already prompt for this at creation, so this change mostly closes the one remaining gap: the DV360 and bulk-upload paths where a business name and logo could previously be skipped entirely because Google just inherited them from whichever YouTube channel hosted the ad creative.

The fix takes five minutes once you know where to look. The spec is simple: a business name up to 25 characters and a square, 1 to 1 aspect ratio logo, at least 128 by 128 pixels, ideally 1200 by 1200, under 5120 KB. You can set this once at the advertiser level in DV360 so every new line item inherits it automatically, which is the move worth making this week even if you think your account is already covered, because "already covered" is exactly the assumption that broke the home goods brand above. Further down, this post also separates out a second, easy-to-confuse October change: Google relaxing a different business-name rule so some verified advertisers can use a brand name that differs from their landing page domain. That is the opposite kind of change, a loosening instead of a tightening, and conflating the two is an easy mistake to make this week given how close together they landed.

What's Actually Changing on October 12, 2026

Until now, DV360's own documentation is explicit about the old default: "the business name and logo were automatically taken from the YouTube channel hosting the ad creative." That worked fine as a fallback in the early days of YouTube advertising, when most advertisers running video ads were also the same entity that owned the YouTube channel the video lived on. It stopped matching reality a long time ago. Agencies run campaigns from house accounts that host creative on a shared or generic channel. In-house teams sometimes upload working creative to a test channel before it ever reaches the brand's own. White-label demand-side platform users route creative through intermediary channels entirely. In every one of those cases, the "business name" a viewer actually saw on the ad was whatever that hosting channel happened to be named, which had nothing to do with who was actually paying for the media or who the viewer was really buying from.

Google's fix is to stop inferring the business identity from the creative's hosting channel and instead require advertisers to state it directly, the same way Video view and Video reach campaigns already do inside standard Google Ads. The DV360 Help page states the new rule plainly: "Starting October 12, 2026, setting a business name and logo will be required for all YouTube & partners line items." Every word in that sentence matters. "All" means there is no small-account carve-out and no grandfathering of line items that have been running for years. "YouTube & partners" is the specific DV360 line item type this applies to, distinct from other DV360 inventory types like open-exchange display or audio. And "required" is not a soft nudge, it is treated like any other mandatory trafficking field: a line item missing it cannot save a new edit and a brand-new line item cannot launch.

The DV360 YouTube & Partners Rule

If your team traffics YouTube ad buys by logging into DV360 directly and building line items by hand, this is the part of the change that affects you first and most directly. Every YouTube & partners line item, new or existing, needs a business name and a logo attached either at the line item level or inherited from an advertiser-level default, covered in detail further down. Open any line item today, before the deadline, and check whether that field already shows a name and an image thumbnail or shows empty placeholder text. If it is empty, that line item is currently coasting on the old YouTube-channel fallback, and it will not save a future edit without a value in that field once October 12 passes.

One detail worth flagging because it surprises people: the requirement is enforced on edit and on creation, not retroactively on every already-running line item the instant the clock strikes midnight on October 12. A line item that is already live and that nobody touches might keep delivering on inherited channel data for a while past the deadline. That is not a safe plan, for two reasons. First, Google's own rollout language does not guarantee how long that grace period actually lasts in practice, since it depends on backend systems Google does not fully document publicly. Second, and more immediately, the moment anyone on your team needs to make any change at all to that line item, from a budget bump to a bid adjustment to swapping in new creative, the save will be blocked until the business name and logo fields are filled in. For a team running even a modest number of active YouTube & partners line items, "we'll deal with it when we touch that campaign next" usually means dealing with it the week you most need a quick budget change to work and least want to discover a blocked save screen.

The Bulk Upload (SDF) Rule

The second half of this change is the one that catches larger programmatic and agency teams off guard, because it touches a workflow most people never look at directly: Ad Structured Data Files, or SDFs, the bulk spreadsheet-like format DV360 uses to let you manage thousands of line items through upload and download instead of clicking through the UI one at a time. Google's Ads Developer Blog post, dated August 27, 2026, documents a parallel set of October 2026 changes to the DV360 API and SDF format, and the business name and logo requirement is part of that same wave. Any YouTube responsive ad created or updated through an SDF bulk upload after October 12 needs those fields populated in the file itself, the same way the DV360 UI needs them populated in the line item form, unless the advertiser already has defaults set at the account level, which the uploaded SDF then inherits automatically.

This matters more than it sounds like at first, because SDF-driven teams tend to manage creative at a scale where manually checking each line is not realistic. If your bulk upload template does not currently include business name and logo columns, or includes them but leaves them blank for most rows on the assumption that YouTube channel inheritance will cover it, every future upload touching YouTube responsive ads risks silent rejection or partial failure starting October 12. The advertiser-level default is the practical escape hatch here specifically because it means your existing SDF templates do not need to change at all. Set the default once at the advertiser level in DV360, and every row your bulk upload touches inherits it without a single new column.

Why Non-DV360 Advertisers Already Know This Drill

If you manage YouTube ads through standard Google Ads rather than DV360, you may be reading this wondering what the fuss is about, because you have already been typing a business name and choosing a logo every time you set up a video campaign. Google's own documentation for "How to add business name and logo in Video campaigns" confirms this: Video view campaigns, Video reach campaigns, Target frequency campaigns, YouTube Pause ads, and certain Reservation campaign types have required this field at creation for a while now, well before this particular October 12 deadline. When you build one of these campaigns, Google Ads shows you a "Business name" text field and a logo picker with four source options, your website or social profiles, a suggested image Google has already associated with your account, your existing asset library, or a fresh upload, and the campaign simply will not launch without both filled in.

If you are also tightening up how those existing video campaigns target and optimize, the breakdown of Performance Max's newer local customer optimization controls is a useful companion read, since it covers a different but related 2026 shift in how Google Ads surfaces video and Performance Max creative. That existing requirement is the reason this October 12 change is best understood as closing a gap rather than inventing something new. DV360 historically served a different, more programmatic audience than standard Google Ads video campaigns, agencies and advertisers who wanted direct, granular control over YouTube and partner inventory at scale, and that audience got a looser default behavior for years because DV360 could fall back to channel-level metadata in a way the standard Google Ads UI never did. October 12 is Google aligning the two systems so that "business name and logo are required for YouTube video ads" becomes one consistent rule across both products instead of a rule that applied in one and was optional in the other depending on which door you walked in through.

What Breaks If You Do Nothing

Concretely, here is what happens if a YouTube & partners line item has no business name or logo set, and nobody at your organization touches it before or shortly after October 12. Nothing breaks instantly at midnight for a line item that is already serving without interruption. What breaks is the next action anyone on your team tries to take on it. A pause-and-resume, a budget change, a bid strategy swap, a flight date extension, a creative refresh, an audience list update, any of these saves gets rejected by DV360's validation layer until the required fields are populated. For a bulk-managed account running an SDF upload on a schedule, whether that is a nightly automated sync or a manual weekly refresh, any row touching an affected YouTube responsive ad without the required fields (and without an advertiser-level default already set) risks the same rejection, potentially at a scale where one missing default means dozens or hundreds of line items fail the same upload simultaneously.

The practical risk is not that your existing, untouched campaigns vanish from YouTube overnight. It is that the very next routine optimization task, the kind marketing teams do constantly and barely think about, like nudging a budget up on a line item that is performing well, suddenly turns into a support ticket. Multiply that across every active YouTube & partners line item in an account that manages campaigns for multiple clients or multiple internal brands, and "add a business name and logo" stops being a five-minute task and starts being the thing blocking Monday morning's optimization pass for half the team. This is exactly why the advertiser-level default, covered in detail below, is worth setting proactively rather than reactively discovering the problem one blocked save at a time.

The Exact Asset Spec You Need

Before touching any account settings, prepare the two assets themselves so you are not scrambling for a correctly sized logo file the moment you sit down to fix this.

Business Name

Twenty-five characters is tight. "Acme Home Goods Co." fits with room to spare. "Acme Home Goods and Outdoor Living Supply Company" does not, and gets truncated in a way that can look unprofessional mid-word. If your full legal or marketing name runs long, decide now on a shortened version you are comfortable showing viewers, rather than letting DV360's character counter force an awkward mid-word cut the first time you try to save. Google's existing policy guidance for business names in standard search and display campaigns, which uses similar logic, explicitly disallows generic placeholders and promotional phrasing standing in for a real business name, so resist the temptation to use the 25 characters for a tagline or a sale callout instead of your actual brand identity.

Logo

The logo spec is unusually strict compared to most Google Ads creative assets, and it is strict specifically because this logo shows up as a small, square badge overlaid on a video ad, often at a tiny rendered size on a phone screen, where anything less than a clean, legible, properly cropped square mark reads as blurry or off-center. Square aspect ratio, exactly 1 to 1, is mandatory, not a loose guideline you can approximate with a landscape logo and some padding. The minimum is 128 by 128 pixels, which is genuinely the floor, not a safe working size. Google's recommended size is 1200 by 1200 pixels, and using something closer to that recommendation rather than the bare minimum is worth the extra few minutes, because a 128 by 128 source image upscaled or stretched to fill a badge slot on a high density phone screen looks noticeably softer than a properly sized 1200 by 1200 source does. File size tops out at 5120 KB, which is generous enough that compression almost never forces a tradeoff against resolution for a simple logo mark, so there is rarely a reason to size down just to hit the limit.

A detail that trips up a surprising number of teams the first time through: most company logos in the wild are not natively square. A wordmark lockup, a horizontal logo-plus-tagline combination, or a logo designed primarily for a rectangular banner placement all need to be re-cropped or redesigned into a square format before they will work here, not just resized with letterboxing or padding slapped on. A logo mark surrounded by awkward empty bars on two sides reads as a last-minute fix to anyone who notices it, and on a small video overlay badge, viewers notice more than you would expect. If your brand does not already have a clean, square icon-only version of its logo, treat preparing one as part of this task, not a separate problem for later.

What Doesn't Support This Yet

Not every YouTube ad format participates in this system. Ad sequences, audio ads, and Masthead placements do not currently support custom business names and logos at all, according to Google's own documentation, regardless of whether you set an advertiser-level default. If your account runs any of these formats alongside standard in-stream or Discovery-style YouTube & partners line items, do not spend time trying to attach a business name and logo to them specifically. The October 12 requirement applies to the line item types that do support the field, and Google's documentation is the source to check if you are unsure whether a specific, less common campaign type on your account is affected.

How to Check Your Account's Current Status

Do not assume your account is fine just because campaigns look like they are running normally today. The old channel-inheritance fallback means a line item can look completely healthy in performance reports while having zero explicit business name or logo set, right up until the first edit attempt after the deadline fails. A quick audit before October 12 beats discovering the gap the hard way.

In DV360, open each active YouTube & partners line item and look at its business name and logo fields directly rather than trusting that performance data looks normal. An empty or placeholder-only field here, even on a line item that has been serving fine for months, is the exact signal that it is currently riding on inherited channel data rather than an explicit value, and will need attention. For larger accounts managing many line items, check whether your account already has an advertiser-level default configured; if one exists and is itself populated correctly, every line item under that advertiser should already be covered without a line-by-line audit, which is the fastest way to confirm you are safe. If your team manages creative through SDF bulk uploads, pull a recent export and check whether the business name and logo columns are populated for the rows touching YouTube responsive ads, or whether they have been sitting blank this whole time because the advertiser default was quietly doing the work. Either way is fine as long as one of the two is actually true and verified, rather than assumed.

How to Set an Advertiser-Level Default (So You Only Do This Once)

Setting a default at the advertiser level is the single highest-leverage move available here, because every new YouTube & partners line item and every YouTube responsive ad created through a future SDF bulk upload automatically inherits it, with no per-line-item or per-upload work required going forward. Rather than fixing one line item at a time this week and then repeating that work every time someone spins up a new campaign next quarter, this closes the gap permanently for anything created afterward.

Inside DV360, this default lives at the advertiser settings level, above the individual campaign and line item layers. Navigate to the advertiser you want to configure, open its general or ad settings area, and look for the business name and logo fields there rather than inside any specific campaign. Enter your 25-character business name and upload your prepared square logo exactly as described above. Once saved, this becomes the fallback every new YouTube & partners line item under that advertiser will use automatically, unless someone explicitly overrides it at the individual line item level for a specific sub-brand or co-branded campaign that genuinely needs a different name or mark. This is also the setting that resolves the SDF bulk upload concern from earlier: a default set here means your existing bulk upload templates need zero changes, because every row inherits the advertiser default instead of requiring new columns.

One sequencing note worth planning around if you manage multiple advertisers or multiple brands under one DV360 seat, which is common for agencies: set this per advertiser, not once globally. Each advertiser entity in DV360 gets its own default, which is exactly what you want if your agency manages genuinely separate client brands, but it does mean an agency running ten client advertisers needs to visit this setting ten times, not once. Build a short checklist and work through every advertiser in the seat methodically rather than fixing the first one you think of and assuming the rest inherited something they did not.

Don't Confuse This With the Other October Change

Here is where this gets genuinely confusing if you only skim headlines this week, because Google shipped two business-name-related changes in roughly the same window that point in opposite directions. The requirement covered in this entire post so far is a tightening: Google now demands you explicitly state a business name and logo where it previously let you skip it. A separate, unrelated change loosens a different business-name rule, letting some verified advertisers use a recognized brand name that differs from the domain their ads actually point to, something that could previously get ads disapproved under Google's advertiser verification rules.

Under the older, stricter rule, still documented on Google's own Business name requirements policy page as of this writing, any advertiser who has completed Advertiser Verification is required to make their business name "strictly match the domain name or the name submitted during verification." That rule exists for a real reason: it prevents a bad actor from running ads under a trusted-sounding business name that points traffic somewhere unrelated and potentially unsafe. But it has a known, longstanding pain point for legitimate advertisers whose actual brand identity genuinely differs from the exact domain string a landing page uses, a franchise operating under a recognized consumer brand name while its booking pages live on a corporate-group domain, for instance, or a well-known brand that migrated to a new domain for technical reasons without rebranding.

Reporting from industry outlets tracking Google Ads policy changes, including coverage from Search Engine Roundtable and a detailed write-up from Relevant Audience, describes Google introducing a narrow carve-out around mid-October 2026 letting certain verified advertisers use a business name differing from their domain, specifically when three conditions all hold: the name accurately reflects the advertiser's genuinely recognized brand, a verified direct relationship exists between the advertiser and the domain owner, and the advertiser's actual offerings are sold directly through that destination domain rather than through a reseller or intermediary. That last condition comes with an explicit exclusion worth noting if you run affiliate or reseller accounts: third-party resellers, independent booking intermediaries, affiliate distributors, and secondary sellers are specifically carved out of this relaxation and still need to follow the stricter matching rule. As of this writing, Google's own live policy page for business name requirements has not yet been updated to reflect this relaxation in its public wording, so treat the exact qualifying criteria as reported by these outlets as the best available description right now, and check Google's own Advertising Policies Help center for the business name requirements page directly before relying on it for a specific account, since Google's own phrasing is the final word once it updates.

The reason this matters for this post specifically: if you are dealing with the October 12 business-name-and-logo requirement for YouTube ads and someone on your team mentions "didn't Google just loosen the business name rules," they are talking about this separate, unrelated change to domain matching for verified advertisers, not an exemption from setting a business name and logo on your YouTube & partners line items. Both are real, both landed in the same general window, and they solve completely different problems. One makes a field mandatory that used to be optional. The other makes a name-matching restriction more flexible for a narrow set of verified advertisers. Fixing your YouTube business name and logo situation this week is not optional regardless of what you have heard about the domain-matching change.

Common Mistakes Advertisers Are Making Right Now

A few specific failure patterns are worth naming directly, because they are the realistic ways this goes wrong even for teams who read this post and genuinely mean to fix it.

Assuming the old campaigns are fine because they are still serving. As covered above, an existing line item without an explicit business name and logo is currently running on inherited channel data, and looks completely healthy in reporting right up until someone tries to edit it. Checking performance dashboards tells you nothing about whether this field is actually populated.

Setting the business name and logo at the line item level, one at a time, instead of the advertiser level. This technically satisfies the requirement for whatever you touch today, but it means every future campaign under that advertiser needs the same manual step repeated, instead of inheriting a default automatically. For any account running more than a handful of YouTube & partners line items, the advertiser-level default is worth setting up front even if it takes a few extra minutes now.

Using a non-square logo and letting DV360's upload tool auto-crop or pad it. A rectangular wordmark center-cropped into a square frequently cuts off half the visual mark, and a padded version with visible white bars on two sides looks unfinished on a small video badge. Prepare an actual square icon version of your mark before uploading, not a resize of whatever logo file happens to already exist in a brand folder.

Treating the SDF bulk upload path as automatically covered without actually checking. The advertiser-level default does cover new SDF uploads automatically, which is genuinely good news, but only if that default is actually set correctly at the advertiser level first. A team that assumes "SDF probably handles this somehow" without verifying the advertiser default exists is making the exact same mistake as a team that assumes an individual line item is fine because it is still serving.

Confusing this requirement with the domain-matching relaxation covered in the previous section, and concluding that Google loosening one business-name rule means the business name and logo requirement is now optional too. It is not. These are two separate changes affecting two separate fields under two separate policy systems.

Forgetting ad sequences, audio ads, and Masthead placements do not support this field at all, and wasting time trying to attach a business name and logo to a format that structurally cannot hold one yet.

If your account is also juggling other recent Google Ads creative changes at the same time, the rundown of new Performance Max asset controls and the explainer on video ad dubbing through Asset Studio are both worth bookmarking alongside this one, since all three touch the same video asset pipeline from different angles.

Generating a Compliant Logo Fast With Miraflow

If your actual blocker here is not the settings, it is that you do not currently have a clean, properly square version of your logo ready to upload, this is a genuinely fast problem to solve rather than a design-team ticket that sits in a queue for two weeks. Miraflow's AI Image Generator supports generating a clean square badge-style mark directly at a 1 to 1 aspect ratio, and its image editing and inpainting tools let you take an existing rectangular logo file and rework it into a properly centered, evenly padded square icon instead of a crude crop. For a brand that wants a polished badge treatment rather than a bare logo on a plain background, the same tool handles a simple branded background or frame around an existing mark, which can look considerably more finished on a video overlay than a flat logo file dropped onto a blank canvas.

If your team also handles thumbnail creative for the same YouTube campaigns this business-name-and-logo requirement touches, Miraflow's YouTube Thumbnail Maker is worth having open in the same work session, since both assets, the ad's required logo badge and the video's clickable thumbnail, are part of the same overall branded-ad package a viewer sees. Generating both in one sitting, right after confirming your account's business name and logo status, is a reasonable way to turn a compliance fix into a small creative refresh instead of a pure chore.

For teams running a copy-paste prompt through Miraflow's image generator to get a clean square badge fast, a specific, directive prompt works far better than a vague one. See the prompt below.

A clean, minimal square brand logo badge for a video ad overlay, centered composition with even padding on all four sides, simple bold icon-style mark with no surrounding text, solid or subtly gradient background color that reads clearly at a small rendered size on a phone screen, crisp vector-like edges with no photographic texture, no drop shadows that would look odd when cropped into a 1:1 frame, no watermark, no placeholder text, designed to look sharp and legible even when scaled down to a small overlay badge.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this apply to Performance Max campaigns that include YouTube placements?

This specific October 12 requirement, as documented by Google, is framed around DV360 YouTube & partners line items and the standard Google Ads video campaign types named above, Video view, Video reach, Target frequency, Pause ads, and certain Reservation campaigns. Performance Max campaigns have their own asset requirements and have historically required a business name and logo among their asset group inputs already, since Performance Max assembles ads across multiple surfaces including YouTube from the assets you provide. If you run Performance Max, check that your asset groups already include a business name and logo, since this has generally been required there for longer than the DV360-specific change covered in this post.

What happens to an ad that fails review because of this business name or logo?

Google's own documentation on the business name and logo field notes that both assets go through standard ad review alongside the rest of your creative, and if either the name or the logo is disapproved, the entire ad is disapproved, not just that one element. You then need to edit the offending asset and resubmit for review before the ad can serve again. This is one more reason to prepare a clean, policy-compliant square logo and a straightforward business name up front rather than uploading something hasty just to get past the save button, since a disapproval after the fact costs you review time on top of the work you already did.

Can I use a different business name and logo for different line items under the same advertiser?

Yes. The advertiser-level default is a fallback, not a lock. You can override it at the individual line item level for a specific sub-brand, a co-branded campaign, or a seasonal promotional identity that genuinely needs its own name and mark, while every other line item under that advertiser continues inheriting the default automatically.

Is there a grace period after October 12 for line items that are already running?

Google's documentation does not describe a defined grace period, and the safest assumption is that enforcement applies at the point of creation or edit rather than retroactively tearing down already-running line items the instant the date passes. That said, "no documented grace period" is not the same as "this is safe to ignore," since the first routine edit to an unconfigured line item after the deadline is where teams actually hit the block. Treat this as a this-week task, not a someday task.

Does setting an advertiser-level default retroactively fix line items that are already missing the field?

An advertiser-level default is designed to apply going forward to line items and ad creation that would otherwise have no value set, which is exactly the safety net this post recommends setting up. But given how specific and field-by-field DV360's validation can be, the safest practice is still to directly check your existing high-value or long-running line items rather than assuming a newly set default automatically back-fills everything retroactively. When in doubt, open the line item and confirm the field actually shows your business name and logo, not just a blank field you are hoping inherits correctly.

Does the domain-matching relaxation mean I can skip setting a business name and logo?

No. These are separate systems covering separate fields. The domain-matching change discussed above affects whether your business name text needs to exactly match your landing page domain under Advertiser Verification rules. It has nothing to do with whether a business name and logo field needs to be populated at all for YouTube & partners line items, which is a separate, mandatory requirement regardless of what name you ultimately use.

Conclusion

Three days is a tight window, but this is also one of the rare Google Ads changes with an unusually clear, bounded fix. Prepare a 25-character business name and a clean, properly square logo at 1200 by 1200 pixels if you can manage it, set both as an advertiser-level default inside DV360 so every current and future YouTube & partners line item inherits them automatically, and spend ten minutes confirming your existing high-value line items and your SDF bulk upload templates are not quietly relying on the old YouTube-channel fallback that goes away on October 12. Keep that completely separate in your head from the unrelated business-name-versus-domain relaxation covered above, since conflating the two is the easiest mistake to make this week.

If your actual bottleneck is simply not having a square logo asset ready to upload, that part does not need to take long. Miraflow's AI Image Generator can produce a clean, properly cropped square badge in minutes, and pairing that same work session with Miraflow's YouTube Thumbnail Maker for the actual video thumbnails your campaign is running alongside turns a compliance deadline into a quick creative refresh instead of a scramble. Whatever platform you manage your video campaigns through, treat this as a this-week task rather than a someday task, since the cost of waiting is not a dramatic shutdown, it is every routine optimization on an unconfigured line item quietly turning into a blocked save the first time anyone tries to touch it after Monday.

For more on how Google's video ad ecosystem has been shifting through 2026, see how Demand Gen campaigns now default to video-only VTC bidding, what changed when call-only ads were retired in favor of call assets, how Gemini's Omni Asset Studio is reshaping video ad creative, what to know about opting out of PMax's automatic video resizing, and how Google's real-time policy review process actually works when an asset like a logo gets flagged. And whenever your next step is actually producing the creative itself, from a square logo badge to a full campaign's worth of thumbnails, Miraflow keeps the whole asset pipeline, image, video, and thumbnail, in one browser-based workspace instead of scattered across separate tools.
