At RebelMouse, we believe that flat media is dead. The concept of what qualifies as content is constantly evolving. That's why we want to arm our creators with the right editorial tools to make sure every article is full of relevant, dynamic content.
One of the primary features of our Entry Editor is the Add Media Bar, which makes it easy to embed media into your content from your device or popular third-party sources, including Unsplash, Google Images, and GIPHY.
Add Media Button
When creating a draft in Entry Editor, use the ⨁ icon that appears to the left of the content body to add media to your post. From there, you can upload or insert media a few different ways.
Upload Images/Videos from your device
Use the camera icon to upload images or videos from your device locally through the Add Media Bar. Supported image formats include JPG, JPEG, PNG, and GIF.
Media Search
There is a search bar with a drop-down menu. This menu will allow you to search for media using several different third-party sources
Library
Search for content in your RebelMouse-powered digital asset manager.
Click the Filters option to left and underneath the search box to filter your Library by tags, users, and dates (please note that we cannot change the default filters in the add media bar).
Google Images
Perform an image search using Google directly from the Add Media Bar.
YouTube Video
Search through YouTube videos for relevant media to add directly to your article's body.
GIPHY
Search for GIFs to add character to your content.
Posts
Search for previously published posts on your site to add to your current article with help from our Particle Assembler.
JW Player
If you're using our JW Player integration, you can search for videos directly from the Add Media Bar.
Related Posts
You can add a Related Posts section to the bottom of your post that consists of a selection of existing posts on your site that you choose to surface. Easily search for those articles with this option.
Embed Media
Click the < > icon next to the search bar to embed any code snippet into your article:
Once clicked, you will see a box appear that allows you to paste in your embed code. RebelMouse accepts shortcodes to embed content into posts, and uses simple parameters to format embeds properly and securely.
Upload Media via URL
Similarly, you can click the link icon to add media from a specific URL.
Paste your URL in the text box that appears and click the arrow to the right to upload the media from the URL.
Note: It's best practice to upload media via a URL instead of through an embed code. Embed codes will not render properly in publishing formats like Facebook Instant Articles and Google's AMP.
Insert a Shortcode
The [ ] icon will prompt you to select and insert a previously created shortcode into your article. Click here to learn more about how to create and manage shortcodes.
Once clicked, you will see a drop-down menu of available shortcodes.
Upload a File
Using the paperclip icon, you can choose to upload Excel, PowerPoint, Word, PDF, and/or CSV files.
Once uploaded, you will see the file's name appear in the body of your post. You can also change the filename in the shortcode if needed.
AI Images
We have integrated Stable Diffusion to allow you to add AI generated images to your article.
JW Video Uploader
You can upload JW Player Videos.
Full Screen Mode
The four brackets icon will expand the Add Media Bar into full-screen mode. You can click the same icon to collapse the Add Media Bar back to its original size.
