Distribute Assets
Delivering multimedia experiences across devices and channels without reducing the quality of visual content is a challenge. Dynamic Media in AEM enables you to automatically scale and deliver rich visual merchandising and marketing assets across web, mobile, and social sites without affecting quality. You can also share the dynamic assets with external clients using Brand Portal.
After completing this module, you should be able to:
- Crop assets using Smart Crop.
- Apply image and metadata profiles to assets.
- Deliver Dynamic Media assets.
- Publish assets to Brand Portal.
Learning scenario
A peripheral digital agency has asked the DAM administrator to provide a square-cropped image of size 500x500 to use in upcoming digital campaigns.
Demo 5.1: configure a smart crop image profile
In this demonstration, the instructor (with administrator privileges) will update the Smart Crop image profile to include a 500x500 crop for the digital agency. This will help DAM users apply the profile to any folder and gain access to a square crop.
Now that you've learned about configuring a Smart Crop image profile, let's learn about cropping assets for different business requirements.
