Video Templates, Story Formats and Blocks

FoxCue templates set a video's look, formats set its story, blocks add animated pieces and checks keep quality. See the built-ins and supported aspects.

In FoxCue, a template (also called a style or recipe) sets how a video looks, a format sets the story it tells, blocks are reusable animated pieces, and checks are quality rules. Pick a template and format when you create a video from a script. Find them all in Create → Library.

Hook reelA 40–50 second vertical Short cut from a long video: a hook card, three or four moments (problem, stakes, fix) and an end card

Blocks

Blocks are reusable animated pieces you add to scenes from the editor's Library panel (Blocks). Browse them by category: Interface, Feedback, Text, Showcase, Data and Motion.

Checks

Checks are quality rules (margins, word counts, contrast, timing and pacing) that the editor's Checks panel runs against your video. The built-in Motion craft check reviews motion quality.
