February Product Updates: an extensive list of new features
This month, we’re introducing dedicated Page statistics, a brand-new Contact form component in Page Builder, smarter tag management, extended API capabilities, and major performance improvements in Schedules. We’ve also improved publishing clarity, strengthened automatic design adaptability, and resolved several important issues affecting media display.
New features
New: Page statistics for Page Builder
- Total page views
- Known users (when logged in)
- Unknown users (for public pages)
- Downloads made directly from media added via Page Builder components
This makes it easier to understand engagement with show pages, campaign pages, or other custom-built sections in Media Center.
Note: Download tracking currently applies to downloads triggered within Page Builder components (not downloads made directly from Mediabank collection views)
These statistics are available for all pages you may build in the Page Builder, except for the page you have set as your homepage. Homepage traffic is currently not included in Page Statistics. For homepage insights, customers using Google Analytics can access that data in their own GA setup.
Where to find it: Media Center → Pages → Open three dot menu on a Page → Statistics
New: Contact form component in Page Builder
We’ve introduced a brand-new Contact form component in Page Builder — replacing the legacy form solution previously used in Websites and older Pages.
You can now:
- Add contact forms directly to any Page Builder page
- Define a recipient email (submissions are sent directly via email)
- Customize confirmation messages
- Use predefined fields (Name, Company, Email, Message)
- Add custom fields as needed
- Mark fields as mandatory
- Add forms in both public and access-controlled setups
Clipsource does not store or process submissions — they are delivered directly to the defined recipient.
Where to find it: Media Center → Pages → Edit page or create a new one → Add component (Basic) → Contact Form
New: Contact cards on Page Builder
As per popular request, we have added a new component where you can display contact cards on any landing page you create.
- Select the contacts you want (as many as needed)
- Choose alignment (center, left or right)
- Add a header if needed
- Change the spacing and background color (also now fully UI adaptable, like other automatic components)
As mentioned in our last update, your contact cards will also be displaced nicer, by having a new and upgraded view, so all your contact card images look the same in a cohesive way.
Where to find it: Media Center → Pages → Edit page or create a new one → Add component (Basic) → Contact Cards
Improvements & Updates to existing features
Improvement: Merge tags when renaming
Managing large tag libraries just got easier. When renaming a tag, if the new name already exists, you’re now prompted to merge the tags.
If confirmed:
- All connections are automatically moved
- Duplicate tags are eliminated
- Content structure becomes cleaner
This helps prevent long-term tag fragmentation and keeps filtering structured and professional.
Where to find it: Admin → Tags → Edit a tag → Rename to an existing tag name
Improvement: Publish tab clarity for Posts & Events
We’ve added an information panel in the Publish tab for Posts and Events. Before publishing, you now see a clear summary of:
- Access control settings
- Notification choices
- If the post is scheduled for publishing
This gives editors a final confirmation of what will happen once content is published — reducing mistakes and increasing confidence. The panel is only shown for unpublished content.
Where to find it: Media Center → Open Post or Event → 5. Publish tab (visible before publishing)
Upgrade: Extended news API
The News API has been expanded with additional structured data.
Newly supported fields:
- Publisher and author information (relevant for Book customers)
- Tags
Including tags in the API makes it easier to build structured external news pages, menus, or categorized sections on your own website using Clipsource data.
Where to find it: Available via News API endpoints (for customers using API integrations)
Improvement: Searchable channel selector (Schedules)
The channel dropdown in Admin → Schedules now supports search.
Start typing to instantly filter channels — especially helpful for customers managing many channels. This improves navigation speed and reduces friction in schedule management.
Where to find it: Admin → Schedules → Channel selector dropdown
Improvement: Schedule (EPG) Admin performance
We’ve significantly improved loading performance in the Admin Schedule view.
- By optimizing validation logic and rebuilding how the list is generated:
- Page load times are noticeably faster
- Large schedule datasets are handled more smoothly
- The overall experience is more responsive
For customers working with heavy EPG data, this is a major usability improvement.
Where to find it: Admin → Schedules
Improvement: Adaptive UI colours in Automatic components
Automatic components in Media Center now adapt to background colours automatically.
When you change a background color:
- Text switches between light and dark tones
- Buttons adapt
- Icons adjust
- Labels maintain contrast
- Borders and frames adjust where applicable
This works across all automatic components (e.g. Latest Posts, related content components, etc.). The result:
- Improved readability
- Better accessibility support
- Greater design flexibility
- Consistent visual hierarchy across branded backgrounds
Where to find it: Media Center → Pages → Automatic components (background colour settings in any automatic component.
Other fixes
Fix: Photographer metadata display
Photographer information is now consistently shown in the image preview modal. Previously, this metadata was missing in some views.
Where to find it: Media Center → Open image preview modal
Fix: External video as poster in Media Center
Resolved an issue where external videos (e.g. YouTube embeds) could not reliably be saved as poster thumbnails.
External media now:
- Saves correctly as poster
- Persists after editing
- Displays consistently in published view
Where to find it: Media Center → Post → Related Media → Set external video as poster
And that's all folks! As always, if you have any questions we've got your back over 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. 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.

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.

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.

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
