Standard media blocks

Image, Video, Video Lightbox, and Video Background blocks in the ArtInStack page editor—traits and layout options.

Reference for Page Editor → Media blocks. All four support picking assets from Media (and external video URLs where noted).

Core architecture & fields

BlockMedia sourcePrimary traits
ImageMedia picker or URLAspect ratio, object-fit, width/height, alt/title, opacity, scale, lazy load, optional link
VideoMedia video or URLAspect ratio presets, poster image, hosted (Bunny) vs external URL
Video LightboxMedia + posterAspect ratio (e.g. 16:9), poster frame, opens focused player on click
Video BackgroundMedia video + posterLoop, autoplay, muted (recommended for browsers), overlay content droppable inside section

Image

Displays one responsive still. Attributes include:

  • Aspect ratio — presets (auto, square, portrait, landscape, etc.) with editor sync to canvas.
  • Object fit — cover, contain, and related crop behavior.
  • Alt text and title for accessibility and SEO.
  • Opacity and scale for subtle design adjustments.
  • Choose image opens the Media library modal.

Best for: editorial inserts, team photos, diagrams between text sections.

Video

Embeds an inline HTML5 player (standalone-video). Attributes include:

  • Video URL from Media or paste external link.
  • Poster thumbnail from Media or auto from video record.
  • Aspect ratio — wide and other presets; respects max height on page content.
  • Video type — platform-hosted vs external stream.

Best for: embedded showreels, lesson clips, process demos inside a column.

Video Lightbox

Shows a poster/thumbnail on the page; click opens a full-focus playback experience. Attributes include:

  • Video URL and poster from Media.
  • Aspect ratio for the thumbnail frame (e.g. 16:9).

Best for: cinematic previews without loading a heavy player until the visitor engages.

Video Background

A section-level block: looping video behind foreground content you drop inside the section (headlines, buttons, columns). Attributes include:

  • Video URL and poster from Media.
  • Autoplay, loop, and muted toggles (muted autoplay is standard for browser policies).
  • Minimum section height for hero-style bands.

Best for: landing page atmosphere behind typography—pair with short, compressed MP4 or hosted video.

System restrictions & guardrails

  • Very large source files slow editor preview and live LCP—prefer compressed video and reasonable image dimensions.
  • External video URLs must be reachable by visitors; broken URLs show empty players after publish.
  • Video Background is not a substitute for accessible inline captions; add visible copy in the overlay layer.

Verifying your setup

  • Each block type tested once on a draft page with Media selection confirmed in Attributes.
  • Image alt text filled on hero or above-the-fold stills.
  • Video Lightbox and Video tested on mobile tap/click.
