Publishing Dynamic Media Assets publishing-dynamic-media-assets

CAUTION
AEM 6.4 has reached the end of extended support and this documentation is no longer updated. For further details, see our technical support periods. Find the supported versions here.

You publish your Dynamic Media assets by selecting the assets and tapping Publish. After your dynamic media assets are published, they are available to you for including in a web page via URL or by way of embedding.

You can also instantly publish assets that you upload—without any user intervention. See Configuring Dynamic Media - Scene7 mode.

In the Card View, a small globe icon appears directly below an asset’s name to indicate that it is published. In the List View, a Published column indicates which assets are published or which are not.

NOTE
If an asset is already published, then you use AEM to move the asset to another folder, and re-publish from its new location, the original published asset location is still available, along with the newly re-published asset. The original published asset, however, is “lost” to AEM and cannot be unpublished. Therefore, as a best practice, unpublish assets first before you move them to a different folder.

If you intend to publish video assets immediately after encoding them, make sure encoding is completely done. When videos are still being encoded, the system lets you know that a video processing workflow is in progress. When video encoding is done, you should be able to preview the video renditions. At that point, it is safe for you to publish the videos without incurring any publishing errors.

See also Embedding the Video Viewer on a Web Page.

NOTE
  • Assets must be published in order to use the URL. If the assets are not published, copying and pasting the URL into a web browser will not work.
  • Image presets and viewer presets must be activated and published for live delivery.

For detailed information on publishing a set or asset, see Publishing Assets.

HTTP/2 delivery of Dynamic Media assets http-delivery-of-dynamic-media-assets

AEM now supports the delivery of all Dynamic Media content (images and video) over HTTP/2. That is, a published URL or embed code for the image or video is available to be integrated with any application that accepts a hosted asset. That published asset is then delivered by way of HTTP/2 protocol. This method of delivery improves the way browsers and servers communicate, allowing for better response and load times of all your Dynamic Media assets.

See HTTP/2 delivery of content frequently asked questions to learn more.
