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.
Accessibility, done right
- We’ve rolled out improvements aligned with WCAG 2.1, including consistent icon tooltips, keyboard navigation, alt text fields, and more. More to come in 2026.
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.
On that note, we hired Linda 🎉In September, we hired Linda Bernström as our new CRO, to head our Sales efforts and strengthen how we support both new and long-standing customers.
Where we showed up
- IBC – Connecting with the global broadcast and streaming community
- DPP Conference – Engaging in conversations around mediaworkflows,technology, and the future of content distribution.
- TV-dagen – As usual, packed with interviews, panel discussions, and presentations.
- KTH – Gave a talk at KTH Royal Institute of Technology for Media Students about Clipsource and our views on the entertainment Industry
Giving Back ❤️
In times of global need, we remain committed to making a difference. This year, we’ve chosen to support the campaign to purchase evacuation ambulances named “Oksana II” for the 38th Independent Marine Brigade defending Ukrainian territory. The initiative helps fund lifesaving medical transport on the frontline. This equipment can mean the difference between life and death for wounded defenders and civilians alike. You can see the fundraiser journey here donio.sk
As a team we’re proud to contribute to this effort and stand with communities facing extraordinary challenges.
That’s all folks!
From everyone at Clipsource, thank you for being on this journey with us. We thank all our employees for their hard work and we wish you a great holiday season and a fantastic New Year. Here’s to another year of smoooother PR!

Latest news
Product Update – December 2025
Welcome to our final Product Update of 2025. As we wrap up the year, we’re closing strong with updates that improve security for enterprise teams, streamline content workflows, and make everyday editing in Admin a little smooooother. Here’s what’s new this month. Single Sign-On (SSO) – now available in Admin Support for Single Sign-On is now live in Admin for customers using external identity providers such as Azure AD, Okta or Google Workspace. Login is handled entirely through the customer’s own authentication system, improving security, access control, and onboarding. With SSO enabled: Users simply login with their existing corporate credentials, no new username or password needed Password and account management stay fully within the customer’s IT team Users automatically gain access to all authorised accounts SSO and traditional email/password login can run in parallel This update strengthens security, streamline user management, and helps customers meet internal IT policies and compliance standards. 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. Pull From Program Catalog – New Selector We’ve rebuilt the interface for pulling content from your Program Catalog into Media Center posts and Screening Room assets. The new selector gives you: Faster navigation Better search A clearer overview of available videos and assets A smoother way to add content or send as a screener This update makes it much easier to build posts and work with catalog content at speed. That’s a wrap for December! We’re already working on new improvements for early 2026, and we can’t wait to share what’s next.

May Product Updates: New Components, Smoother Layouts, and Smarter Tools
Another May, another slay. We're back with another round of product updates. This release focuses on improving discoverability, video layout options, and everyday usability—plus some long-awaited system automations. Let’s dive in!
Product updates: Media Center search, components and more...
Dear Customers,We’ve been busy this spring, and it’s time to share what’s new in Clipsource. From a powerful new search in Media Center to fresh components for Page Builder and smarter subtitle handling — this update brings improvements you’ll notice right away. Let’s take a look. Faster, smarter search in Media CenterYou may have noticed that we’ve rebuilt the search experience in Media Center. Instead of listing all results on a single page — which could be slow and overwhelming — results are now organized into tabs based on content type. You’ll find separate tabs for Posts, Screeners, Images, and more. This makes it easier to focus your search and, most importantly, it’s much faster.We’ve also started refreshing the design of the result views to make them cleaner and easier to browse. And this is just the beginning — coming updates will include tab-specific filters and other features to make search as accurate and effortless as possible.Improved search in MediabankWe’ve also updated the search in Mediabank to help you find images, videos, and audio files faster. You can now search across all content directly from the top level — no need to click into each workspace or collection to locate the right file.New Page Builder component for book releasesWe can’t help but talk more about our new Page Builder. For our book publishing customers, we’ve just released a new Automatic component that makes it easy to showcase book releases.With this component, you can display a slider or grid of newly released or upcoming titles. You can choose to show all books, filter by publisher, or highlight a specific type of book — for example, hardcover, e-book, or audiobook. Once published, the component updates automatically as you add or schedule new titles — no manual work needed.Smarter headings for automatic componentsWe’ve added a small but useful improvement to some of our automatic components: you can now choose to include a built-in heading.Previously, you had to add a separate header component — but since automatic components are access-controlled, the header could sometimes appear even when the actual content was hidden. With the new built-in heading, the title only shows when the content does, keeping everything consistent and clean for your visitors.This update applies to the Latest Posts, Screeners, Books, and Upcoming events components.More flexible schedule change postsSince we introduced Schedule Changes as a separate post type in Media Center, some customers have asked for the option to create a “clean” post — without any recorded changes. This is useful when you want to share general scheduling-related news that isn’t tied to a specific channel or program.By default, the channel and date pickers are active as usual. But now, there’s a toggle in Media Center that lets you disable them and publish a post without any linked data. Consistent typography with updated font settingsWe’ve improved font handling in the text editor, used across the system. Admin users now have access to an updated set of font options that better reflect the typography used on their site.Since many of our customers use custom font families, this change ensures that headings and text in the editor more accurately match the look and feel of the published site — especially for fonts with dedicated headline styles. The result is more consistent, on-brand content with less manual styling. Other minor improvements: Fixed an issue that sometimes prevented subtitles from appearing in Program Catalog videos. Added support for SRT and STL subtitle formats, in addition to VTT. Supported in both Screening Room and Program Catalog, via manual upload or integration. - The Clipsource Team
Launching Page Builder – Create pages with more flexibility
Hello from slightly sunny Sweden!We're now starting the rollout of Page Builder, a brand-new tool for creating and managing pages in the platform. With Page Builder, you design pages using flexible components – deciding for yourself how the content should look and function, no technical skills required.
Sneak Peek: COMING SPRING 2025 – NEW Page builder ✨
Sneak peek Our new Page builder is launching in Spring 2025, making it easier than ever to create stunning and professional pages. Designed from the ground up based on customer feedback, the new Page builder is made to be integrated with the Clipsource ecosystem, giving you a new way to create, with more flexibility, and more ways to showcase your content. With intuitive components, you can browse and add content directly from your Posts, Mediabank and Program Catalog, ensuring your pages always have the latest content, staying ever fresh and dynamic. Stay tuned for the launch and get ready to build better pages! Got questions? We have your back at support@clipsource.com Other recent tweaks and bug fixes We’re continuously refining the platform to improve your experience. Here are some of the latest fixes and enhancements: We’ve removed the forced center alignment of preamble text in post, event, and schedule change notifications. Now, the text will follow the alignment setting defined in the admin panel, just like the body text. Fixed an issue where removed contacts remained in the pending access list with an accepted/denied status, preventing them from reapplying. Now, they will be fully removed from the system. - The Clipsource Team

The resilience and adaptability we've seen across the industry give me great confidence in what's to come.”- Dan Willstrand, CEO Giving Back In times of global need, we remain committed to making a difference.

NOT a Black Friday Email, rather a product update
Dear Customers, Over the past few months, we have been working intensively to develop a new search function to make your work more efficient. With the new search function, finding the right content is now easier and faster than before. The first place where this is being implemented is the Program Catalog for admins. When you log in to the Program Catalog, you will see that the homepage has been replaced with a new search-focused page. Where possible, we also provide search suggestions to help you find content even faster. So, how does the new search work? Unified search: You can now find all programme content in a single search, without needing to navigate through different categories. Everything is now in one place, making it more efficient and easy. Search suggestions: As you type, you will now receive suggestions that help you find what you are looking for faster. Sorted tabs: By default, all results are displayed, but you can also choose to view only, for example, series or movies in specific tabs, making it easier to quickly focus on the content you are interested in. Improved matching: Forgot the exact title? No problem. Our new search function helps you find a programme regardless of spelling or variations like 'The Program' or 'Program, The'. Comprehensive search: Our search covers titles, descriptions and cast information ensuring nothing is missed. ID search: Find content by searching for series, season, episode, or media IDs. For now, you can still use the old search function available under each programme tab, but the new search function provides faster and more comprehensive results, potentially saving you valuable time and making your work smoother. We would greatly appreciate it if you could try the new feature and let us know what you think. If you have any feedback, don't hesitate to reach out! - The Clipsource Team
