image or video in the main track (the Music track is the only
exception).
• Element — an element can be a transition, title, object, or any
piece of media. It is a way of describing the individual pieces used
to build a template segment.
• Attributes — the properties that you assign to template elements
that determine their behavior.
• Placeholder — an attribute that is assigned to temporary media
that will be swapped out for user media. Placeholders are
repeatable by default (to accommodate the unspecified number
of media that a user can add to a template).
Optional is an attribute you can assign to a placeholder if you feel
that the element is not required if there is not enough user
content. For example, you can apply Optional to a placeholder in
the main video track if the segment can be dropped when user
content runs out (rather than repeat user content to complete the
sequence).
• Static — an attribute assigned to a template element that you
want to keep in the current position. When the media in the main
video track is marked as static, the segment won’t repeat in the
sequence—it will display only in the current position (for example,
in a beginning or end segment).
