Product Updates
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
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
