August Product Updates: Centralized Contact cards, public events & smarter search
We're back!✨ It's been a longer stretch than usual since the last Product Update with summer holidays and our code freeze got in the way, but of course we love to keep busy behind the scenes, so there's quite a lot new really cool updates we think will make your days easier!
New features
Centralized Contact cards across Media Center and Screening Room
Contact Cards used to live in Media Center only, while Screening Room had its own separate contact solution. That's now one single feature.
Contact Cards are managed from the Dashboard, and the cards you create there can be reused across both Media Center and Screening Room — added to Posts, Events and Screeners alike. Publish something in Media Center and something in Screening Room, and you get the same Contact Cards in both places. The same goes for the portal.
We've also made the admin experience much more scalable for those of you managing a lot of contacts:
Search instead of scroll.
Instead of showing every available card as a checkbox, you now search for and select Contact cards using the same selector we use for tags. Add one or several.
Connect a card to an Admin user.
When creating a Contact card, you can search for an existing Admin user and link to it — some of the details are then filled in for you. You don't have to connect a card to a user, though; creating one manually (for a shared "Press" contact, for example) works exactly as before.
Preview before you publish.
While managing, creating or editing a Contact card, you can see exactly how it will look using the preview in the upper right corner.
⚠️️️ Note: If you already have contacts configured in Screening Room, those keep working as before — nothing you have set up today disappears.
Where to find it: Left hand menu dashboard → Contact cards. To use them: any Post, Event or Screener → Scroll down to Contact cards section → search and select
Public Events
Events can now be published publicly, which brings their visibility options in line with Posts. This is something a lot of you have asked for, more than once.
Under access control, you decide whether an Event is:
- public
- available to all logged-in contacts
- restricted to groups or individual contacts
Public Events require no authentication and can be displayed in both Media Center and Website. A good use case: a save-the-date invitation to journalists for an upcoming press event showcasing your autumn premieres, published openly before you've locked in a date and a location — then updated with the details once you have them. Start and end times and the RSVP options all work exactly as before.
⚠️️️ Note: RSVP is still optional, and we'd recommend leaving it off for public Events — you can't collect confirmed attendees from an unauthenticated audience. If you do enable it on a public Event, the RSVP turns into an email form instead.
Where to find it: Media Center → Events → create or edit an Event → tab 3. Access control
Reusable brand colors
(Our head of marketing’s new favorite feature) The colors configured for your Media Center or Website are now automatically available as reusable color presets throughout the relevant editors.
So when you're picking a background, button or text color in Pagebuilder — or working with an image in Mediabank — you can choose straight from your own brand colors instead of hunting down and re-entering hex codes every time. You can see the hex code by hovering over each color, and if the same color appears several times in your setup, we only list it once.
Faster content creation, and much easier brand consistency across everything you publish.
Where to find it: Pagebuilder → any color picker (page background, buttons, text) → your brand colors. Also available in Mediabank when working with images and choosing background cropping colors.
Improved search across Media Center and Website
Search has been expanded and made a lot more consistent across both products.
Pages are now searchable. Pages built with Pagebuilder can be found through global search, based on their titles and their text content. Results show the date, the title and an extract of the text where your search term appears.
Images are in one place. Previously images were split across separate Image and Mediabank tabs. Everything now sits under a single Images tab, covering images stored in Mediabank as well as images used as related media. Existing access permissions are respected — you'll only find what you already have access to.
Search is back in Website.
Post search in Website now follows the same search and categorization model as Media Center.
Where to find it: Media Center or Website → global search
Safer image cropping when images are reused
We've changed how reused images are handled when you crop them.
Previously, if you pulled an image from Mediabank into a Post and a colleague later cropped that image in Mediabank, your Post got the cropped version too — sometimes changing the whole point of the image. Now, every time you use an image somewhere else in the system, we create a copy. Your crop belongs to where you made it.
So if you place a 16:9 image in a press release and a colleague crops the Mediabank original to 1:1, your press release keeps its 16:9. And you can still crop your own copy however you like, without it rippling out anywhere else.
Much safer image reuse, and considerably less risk of accidentally changing something you've already published.
Where to find it: Any Post, Screener or page → Related media → pull an image from Mediabank → crop as usual
Find recently added programs
Program Catalog now uses the date and time when program content is received through your integrations, which makes recently added content far easier to find.
Note that this is about when it arrived in Program Catalog, not whether it's a new show — which is what actually matters when you're marketing content, whether that's a brand-new series or a film you've just picked up the rights to.
Admins can filter Program Catalog by the last day, seven days, 30 days or year. The same filtering can also be enabled in Media Center, as part of the existing filter function, so that visitors can sort on added date alongside genre and alphabetical order.
Particularly useful for large, continuously updated catalogs, where finding what arrived overnight used to be genuinely difficult.
⚠️️️ Note: The Media Center filter is enabled on request rather than automatically. Get in touch if you'd like it switched on.
Where to find it: Admin → Program Catalog → filter by period. In Media Center: Programs → filter → Select time frame
Smaller improvements worth mentioning
Search and export in Statistics
Statistics for both Media Center content and Screening Room now include search and CSV export. You can search the underlying user and activity data — plays, related downloads and notifications — to quickly find what you're looking for, or export the complete dataset as CSV for further analysis. A much quicker way to works with your statistics when there's a lot of data to dig through.
Where to find it: Media Center or Screening Room → Statistics → search or export as CSV
Search in public Schedules
Visitors can now search program schedules directly from the schedule view. The search covers the full schedule, making it easy to find programmes without browsing day by day. Matching results are presented in a clear list with dates, times, channel and programme information.
Where to find it: Your public schedule page → search
Calendar view for Events in Pagebuilder
Event components can now use the Calendar View layout that's already available for Shared Premieres and Shared Live content — handy for a page collecting your upcoming press events.
Where to find it: Pagebuilder → Events component → layout → Calendar View
Select all when pulling from Mediabank
When you're adding related media to a Post or a Screener and pulling assets from Mediabank, you can now select all available assets instead of picking them one at a time. Mixed selections are sorted automatically, so a video, an audio file and an image all land under videos, audio and images respectively.
Where to find it: Any Post or Screener → Related media → Add media from Mediabank → Select all
Better discoverability for Pages
Published Pagebuilder pages are now included automatically in your sitemap.xml, which helps search engines discover more of your site content. Create a new page and the sitemap updates itself — and only public pages are included, of course.
And that's all folks!
Good to be back after the summer. As always, if you have questions about any of this, or want one of the on-request features switched on, we're at support@clipsource.com.

Clipsource Unwrapped 2025
First of all, thank you. Truly. Thank you for being with us, for trusting us, and for choosing Clipsource as part of your everyday work. When we look back at 2025, one word comes to mind: intense. But in the best possible way. It was a year filled with movement, decisions, learning, and progress. Not always easy, but always purposeful. In a time of uncertainty across the industry, we chose to focus on what we can control: building a better product and being close to the people who use it. We shipped many improvements this year, shaped by your feedback and real needs, all with one goal in mind: to make your work smoother. What that focus looked like in practice Throughout the year, Clipsource became a daily workspace for more teams than ever. Millions of assets were uploaded, shared, and managed on the platform, supporting everything from press launches to long-term content libraries. Usage grew steadily across markets, with more users, more published pages, and more media being accessed every month. Product highlights from 2025 Behind the scenes, a lot happened. Here are some of the biggest improvements and launches from the year. A brand-new Page Builder We launched a fully customisable Page Builder for Media Center homepages. Customers can now freely design their layout, choose from a growing list of components, and pull content from across the Clipsource platform with no developer help required. Smarter storytelling with new components New components like automated lists, live event blocks, book catalogs, and collection banners made Media Center pages more dynamic and expressive. Tags connect and link content across modules; posts, programs, screeners, and images. Each tag creates a dedicated page, automatically showing all related content. Media management, upgraded A new cropper: Crop images for different layouts with custom backgrounds all while preserving the original file. AI image flags: Customers can now identify AI-generated images, automatically or manually. Security and access, reimagined SSO support: Single Sign-On (SSO) is now available in Admin, enabling secure authentication through providers like Azure AD, Okta, and Google Workspace.

Smarter workflows, deeper integrations 2025 was all about helping our customers do more with less manual work. Automated post creation: RSS & Atom feeds can now generate draft posts directly in the Media Center. Auto-matching screeners: Screening Rooms now automatically update titles based on metadata from Program Catalog, saving time and improving accuracy. Streamlined push & pull: New UI patterns make it easier to copy/move/fetch content between for example Mediabank, Media Center, Screening Room, and Program Catalog with just a few clicks. Component automation: Pages built with dynamic components update automatically when new content is published. Together, these improvements make it easier to build powerful publishing workflows without the need for custom integrations or extra admin work. Company Updates Building a better product also meant strengthening the team behind it, especially where it matters most: supporting our customers, and showing up to listen, learn, and meet people across the industry.

Product Update – December 2025
Welcome to our final Product Update of 2025.

SSO is enabled per customer on request. Pagebuilder text editor: Highlight white text When background colours were introduced for components in Pagebuilder, many users began using white text, which could be difficult against the white editor background. inside Admin’s white text editor. To make white text easier to work with, we've introduced several ways to create contrast in the editor. You can add a background color before writing your text, and it will be reflected directly in the editor. I you're adding overlay text to an image or video, you can enable the background overlay (via the toggle in the image or video component) to visualize white text more clearly.
