✦
Adaptive Theme SystemThree theme modes give you full control over how the component responds to the Framer canvas.
Auto — Follows the Framer canvas theme via the data-framer-theme attribute. Light on light canvas, dark on dark — automatically.
Light — Always renders in light mode regardless of canvas theme.
Dark — Always renders in dark mode regardless of canvas theme.
✦
Responsive TypographyBoth Title and Body font sizes scale automatically with the container width via a ResizeObserver. The 2px hierarchy gap between title and body is preserved at every breakpoint — the card never looks like an article regardless of size.
✦
Shimmer Loading StateA hardware-accelerated shimmer animation plays over the media well while the player initialises. A safety timeout of 8 seconds ensures the shimmer always clears even if the player event never fires.
✦
Scroll-Masked BodyBody content is constrained to a configurable number of visible lines. A gradient fade mask appears at the bottom edge when content overflows. The mask fades out smoothly as the user scrolls to the bottom.
✦
Visual DNA Controls•Tone: Light / Dark
•Surface: Flat / Elevated
•Radius control for brand alignment
•Hover lift for premium interaction energy
✦
Polished Loading Experience•Elegant animated loader while media prepares

Markdown Body Guide•**Welcome** → Welcome (bold)
•*Note* → Note (italic)
•[label](url) → link opens in a new tab
•\n → Creates a new line in rendered output
Escaping Markers
To display a marker character literally, prefix it with a backslash. For example: \* renders as *, and \[ renders as [. Useful for showing syntax examples inside the body itself.
Why MDX MediaStage?
MDX MediaStage is a premium Framer component by MODAX — a flexible content stage designed for media, headlines, and calls to action. It unifies YouTube, Vimeo, native video, and image media behind a single intelligent interface, with a composable layout system that lets designers build any card variation without writing code.
Every section of the card — Media, Title, Body, CTA, and Footer — can be toggled on or off independently from the property panel. This produces 32 distinct layout combinations from a single component instance.
