Spin Sets spin-sets

Upload your images for multiple views.

At minimum, you need 8-12 shots of an item for a one-dimensional Spin Set and 16-24 for a two-dimensional Spin Set. The shots must be taken at regular intervals to give the impression that the item is rotating and being flipped. For example, if a one-dimensional Spin Set includes 12 shots, rotate the item 30 degrees (360/12) for each shot.

Create Spin Sets.

To create a Spin Set, select Create > Spin Set and then name the set, choose the assets, then sort the images in the order they will appear.

See Working with Selectors.

Set up Spin Set Viewer presets, as needed.

Administrators can create or modify Spin Set Viewer presets. To see your Spin Set with a Viewer preset, select the Spin Set, and in the left-rail drop-down menu, select Viewers.

See Tools > Assets > Viewer Presets to create or edit viewer presets.

See Adding and editing viewer presets.

Viewing Spin Sets.

You can view and access sets created by way of batch set presets in three different ways. (Sets created using batch set presets, do not appear in the user interface.)

Preview Spin Sets.

Select the Spin Set and you can preview it. Rotate the Spin Set. You can choose different viewers from the Viewers menu, available from the left rail drop-down menu.

Publish Spin Sets.

Publishing a Spin Set activates the order in which images appear in a spin set matter. Be sure to order them so that the spin is a smooth 360 degree view.URL and Embed string. In addition, you must publish the viewer preset.

Link URLs to your Web Application or Embed the Video or Image Viewer.

AEM Assets creates URL calls for Spin Sets and activates them after you publish the Spin Sets. You can copy these URLs when you preview assets. Alternatively you can embed them on your web site.

Select the Spin Set, then in the left rail drop-down menu, select Viewers.

See Linking a Spin Set to a web page and Embedding the Video or Image Viewer.

In Assets, navigate to where you want to create a spin set, tap Create, and select Spin Set. You can also create the set from inside a folder that contains your assets.

On the Spin Set Editor page, in the Title field, enter a name for the Spin Set. The name appears in the banner across the Spin Set. Optionally, enter a description.

When you create the spin set, you can change the spin set thumbnail or allow AEM to select the thumbnail automatically based on the assets in the spin set. To select a thumbnail, tap Change thumbnail. Select any image (you can navigate to other folders to find images as well). If you have selected a thumbnail and then decide that you want AEM to generate one from the spin set, select Switch to Automatic thumbnail.

Do either one of the following:

• Near the upper-left corner of the Spin Set Editor page, tap Add Asset.
• Near the middle of the Spin Set Editor page, tap Tap to open Asset Selector.

Tap to select assets that you want to include in your Spin Set. Selected assets have a checkmark icon over them. When you are finished, near the upper-right corner of the page, tap Select.

With the Asset Selector, you can search for assets by typing in a keyword and tapping Return. You can also apply filters to refine your search results. You can filter by path, collection, file type, and tag. Select the filter and then tap the Filter icon on the toolbar. To change the view, near the upper-right corner of the page, tap the View icon then tap Column View, Card View, or List View.

See Working with Selectors.

When you add assets to your set, they are automatically added in alphanumeric order. You can manually re-order or sort assets after you add them. If necessary, drag an asset’s Reorder icon to the right of the asset’s file name to re-order images up or down the set list.

(Optional) Do any of the following:

• To delete an image, select the image, then tap Delete Asset.
• To apply a preset, near the upper-right corner of the page, tap Preset, then select a preset to apply to all the assets at once.

Tap Save. Your newly created Spin Set appears in the folder in which you created it.

When opening the properties of an individual asset. Properties indicate what sets the selected asset is a member of (under Member of Sets). Tap the name of the set to see the entire set.

From a member image of any set. Select the Sets menu to display the sets that the asset is a member of.

From search, you can select Filters, then expand Dynamic Media and select Sets.

The search returns matching sets that were manually created in the user interface or automatically created through batch set presets. For automated sets, the search query is conducted using Starts with search criteria which is different from AEM search which is based on using Contains search criteria. Setting the filter to Sets is the only way to search automated sets.

• Hover over a Spin Set asset, then tap Edit (pencil icon).

  If you delete the image that AEM uses for the thumbnail by replacing it with another image, the original asset still displays.
