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.
Built-in templates
| Template | Look | Aspects |
|---|---|---|
| Classic deck | A narrated presentation built from a slide deck: title, agenda, section, points, quote, stat and call to action | 16:9 |
| Feature teaser | A 20–60 second feature teaser or ad: a scroll-stopping hook, the problem, the reveal on the real product, three benefits, one promise | 16:9, 9:16 |
| Product lesson | A faceless software lesson: open on the result, one action per step with the real screen | 16:9, 9:16 |
| Screen lesson | Faceless course style: flat royal-blue cards with orange display headlines and chevron points, centered takeaways, real product screens | 16:9, 9:16 |
| Studio lesson | Presenter-led course style: blue-to-lavender motion graphics between talking-head segments | 16:9, 9:16 |
Built-in formats
| Format | Story |
|---|---|
| Software tutorial | How to get one job done in a product, step by step on the real screen, with the result at the end |
| Concept explainer | Explains one idea so a newcomer can repeat it: name it, define it, break it into parts, show it in the real world, land the takeaway |
| Course lesson | One lesson of a course: where it sits in the module, a framework taught part by part with evidence, a recap and the next lesson |
| Hook reel | A 40–50 second vertical Short cut from a long video: a hook card, three or four moments (problem, stakes, fix) and an end card |
| Teaser | A 20–45 second hook for social or a landing page: one tension, one reveal, one proof, one call to action |

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.
