Three wires, one search box
Every other AI video tool in this category starts from something you already made — your newscast, your catalogue, your uploads. MediaBlaze starts from the wire. If you hold an agency contract, you hold everything you need to run a channel.
What "integrated" actually means here
Not a link out to the agency portal. The wires are inside the product: you search them together, you see what each one has, and one click pulls the video in and creates the asset.
- One search covers all three. Type once; each agency answers in its own column and pages independently, so a slow wire never holds up the other two.
- Stage › is the whole import. The clip downloads into MediaBlaze and appears in staging. You stay on the feed, so you can work along a row.
- Credentials live in Settings, per team, with a Test Connection button that tells you now rather than at 3am.
- Health dots only for wires you hold. An agency you don't subscribe to shows nothing, rather than a permanently grey light.
- Nothing gets staged twice — an item another team already pulled reads Already in MediaBlaze instead of quietly duplicating.
- The queue holds ten. A hard limit, enforced server-side, that keeps a bulk-staging spree from burying the pipeline.
Footage that isn't from a wire
Your own uploads
MXF, MOV, MP4 and SCC. Files above S3's 5 GiB single-request ceiling upload in parts, with each part signed on demand so a long upload outlives its signature.
Finished segments
Something already cut elsewhere skips enrichment entirely: footage, review, deliver. MediaBlaze asks which path applies rather than guessing.
Production elements
Slates, bumpers, transitions, lower thirds and bugs are a first-class asset type, filed with a show tag and reusable across the channel.
