Adding Media to a Maestro Template or Item
If your template includes a container for an asset, you can add media assets (such as images and video clips) to a template. Designated areas for assets are indicated by fields that display “Drag & drop image here” or “Drag & drop clip here”. These messages appear if no default image is defined in the template. If you see a spinning wheel, the system is in the process of loading the image. If you see an endless spinning wheel, it indicates that the image cannot be found or the configuration is invalid.
In this release of MediaCentral Cloud UX, you can use assets from a MediaCentral Asset Management system or assets contained in the Media folder of the Maestro News database.
To add media to a Maestro template or item:
1. Load a Maestro News template or item into the Asset Editor.
2. Use the Browse or Search apps to find the media asset that you want to add to your graphic.
3. Drag and drop the selected media into a designated area of the graphic in the Asset Editor.
After you drop the asset into the graphic, a representative thumbnail of the asset is displayed in the Viewer Panel.
4. (optional) You can click the Render button in the Graphics tab to create an animated preview of the graphic with the new media.
5. Save the graphic element by doing one of the following:
If you are working with a template, use the Drag button to drag the template to a Newsroom Management story or sequence. For more information, see

If you are working with an item, click the Save button in the Graphics tab to save the changes to the item.
