Using media fields in block templates

How to add a media field to a block template in Blockz and how to use it to attach clips, graphics, and audio in Cuez Rundown.

A media field in a block template allows users to attach a clip, graphic, still image, or audio file to a block in Cuez Rundown. This article explains how to add a media field to a template and how to interact with it.
​

Adding a media field to a template

  1. Open the template in the Blockz editor (must be in 'Editing' mode)

  2. Click '+ Add Field' at the bottom of the canvas

  3. Select 'Media' (Videos, images, and audio)

  4. Give the field a name, for example: VT/clip, Graphic, or Studio still

  5. Set whether the field is 'Required'

  6. Optionally, choose a 'Media integration' for the field


​

How media fields display

Media fields are displayed in a dedicated panel on the right of the canvas, not in the same field grid as text and label fields.

How producers add media

When a producer opens the block in a Cuez Rundown episode and clicks the media field, the 'Add media to block' dialog opens.

A 'Current library' dropdown lets them choose where to get the media from:

  • Direct Upload: Upload to Cuez - drag and drop a file, or click ‘Select file’ to browse their computer

  • Media Libraries: any connected library for the organization - browse and select an existing item

Prerequisite: media library configuration

For a media library to appear as an option in the ‘Current library’ dropdown, it must be set up and connected in Cuez Admin by an organization owner. Without this, only ‘Upload to Cuez’ (direct upload) is available.
