Image Alt Attribute

Enter a brief image description to identify the image for SEO purposes or if the image cannot be displayed. 

Image Action

Selecting an Image Action triggers an action after the image is clicked. The Image Action can be used to:

  • Lead a visitor to a custom Landing Page
  • Lead to a sale by going to a Checkout Page
  • Encourage your audience to download a file
  • Lead to any website page with a URL link
  • Open a Two-Step Optin Popup
  • Act as an anchor link to lead to a section of the page

Open In New Tab

Select Open In New Tab to perform your specified Image Action in a new tab of your visitor's browser when the image is clicked.

State

Selecting the State of your Multi-Video Launch Block is a crucial step when setting up a Multi-Video Launch Section in order to create a seamless experience for your visitors. Customize your Multi-Video Launch Block to be ClickableActive, or Locked.

Clickable

If you set up your Image Action, select Clickable to trigger your specified Image Action when the image is clicked:

Active

The Active State means the image is in a static state (unclickable), but the image retains its color, differentiating itself from Locked. You will also notice that your Multi-Video Launch Block thumbnail is surrounded by a thin, colored border to signal to your visitors that the video is Active.

Tip:
Change the border color of your Active Multi-Video Launch Block by changing the primary color of your page.

This State is best used to communicate to your visitors that the Main Video Block on the page is the Active Multi-Video Launch Block when used with the Multi-Video Launch Section. To set this up, use identical Thumbnail images for your Active Multi-Video Launch Block and your Video Block:

Locked

Selecting Locked will make your image unclickable and greyed out. This is a great way to create teasers or anticipation with the Block:

If you choose to Activate a Locked Multi-Video Launch Block, simply switch out the Thumbnail Image and Video uploaded into your main Video Block to match the Multi-Video Launch Block you choose to Activate. Then, change the State of your Multi-Video Launch Block to Active.
