Servers
On account creation, Adobe Dynamic Media Classic automatically provides the assigned servers for your company. These servers are used to construct URL strings for your web site and applications. These URL calls are specific to your account.
See also Test the Secure Testing service.
-
Published Server Name - This server is the live CDN (Content Deliver Network) server used in all system-generated URL calls specific to your account. Do not change this server name unless you are instructed to do so by an Adobe Dynamic Media Classic support technician.
-
Origin Server Name - This server is used for quality assurance testing only. Do not change this server name unless instructed to do so by an Adobe Dynamic Media Classic support technician.
- Test&Target Server Name - Your Test&Target URL, up to and including .com. For instructions about obtaining this URL, see Integrating Adobe Dynamic Media Classic with Adobe Target Standard/Premium.
-
iOS Streaming Server Name - The URL to your Adobe Dynamic Media Classic iOS streaming server. This server delivers streaming video to iOS-based devices using HTTP protocol.
-
Progressive Video Server Name - The URL to your Adobe Dynamic Media Classic progressive video server. This server delivers progressive video using HTTP protocol.
-
Show URL for unpublished assets - Select this option if you want Adobe Dynamic Media Classic to display a URL when previewing any asset, whether it is published or not. If the asset is not published, the URL does not work. However, you can use the URL for planning or organizational purposes.
-
CDN Invalidation Template - Specifies the template that is used for invalidating the CDN (Content Delivery Network) cache.
For example, suppose you enter an image URL (including image presets or modifiers) referencing
<ID>, instead of a specific image ID as in the following example:https://sample.scene7.com/is/image/Company/<ID>?$s7product$If the Template just contains
<ID>, then Adobe Dynamic Media Classic fills in thehttps://<server>/is/image, where<server>is the Publish Server Name that is defined in General Settings.Setting the CDN Invalidate Template, select an image named Backpack_B, and then go to File > Invalidate CDN results in the following generated URL in the CDN Invalidate interface:
https://sample.scene7.com/is/image/Company/Backpack_B?$s7product$In the URL list box, select Continue to clear the cache for that specific image URL call. You can also add URLs by typing or pasting them into the URL list box; you do not need to set the Template beforehand.
After you have selected your CDN Invalidation Template, and made an Invalidate CDN request, an indicator pops up in the user interface. It gives you an estimate of how long it takes to clear the cache.
Similarly, if multiple images are selected within Adobe Dynamic Media Classic when you go to File > Invalidate CDN, each image is referenced in the saved Template URL. Therefore, you can define a CDN Invalidate Template referencing each URL that is referenced on your Web site (such as product detail and search results). Then, when you select one or images for invalidation from cache, the URLs automatically populate the interface.
See Content caching.
Browse
-
Show Projects - Determines whether Projects are available as a means of organizing your Adobe Dynamic Media Classic assets. See Organize your work with Projects.
-
Show Sample eVideo Content - Turn on or off the display of eVideo sample content.
-
Show Generated Content - In folders, shows content generated from an asset. For example, when a PDF file is rasterized as it is uploaded, Adobe Dynamic Media Classic creates one image for each page in the original PDF. If Show Generated Content is selected, each image generated when the original PDF was uploaded appears along with the PDF in the folder to which the PDF was uploaded.
-
Show Encoded Videos - Deselected (off) by default.
To quickly search and browse for videos in Adobe Dynamic Media Classic without having to navigate through numerous encoded derivatives of the same video, leave this option deselected (default). Only the Primary Video thumbnail (the source video you uploaded and used to create the derivatives), and the “parent” Adaptive Video Set thumbnail (which contains the “child” derivatives of the encoded video set), are displayed.
You can, however, still access individual encoded videos from the Primary Video or the Adaptive Video Set. To do so, double-click the video thumbnail image to open Detail View. Then select Encoded Videos in the right panel so you can access all the “child” videos.
You can also go to File > Reprocess to create more encoded “child” videos directly from an Adaptive Video Set. Adobe Dynamic Media Classic automatically finds the “parent” Primary Video of the Adaptive Video Set and uses that as the source video for transcoding. When you save the new individual encoded videos, however, they are not seen when you search or browse. However, they are still accessible from the Encoded Videos tab in Detail View.
See Upload and transcode videos.
To continue the ability to access all your encoded video derivatives when you search and browse, select Show Encoded Videos.
There are certain actions on the Build menu that only work, or optionally work, with individual videos. This functionality makes it necessary to show all the encoded video derivatives that you can select from, regardless of how you set Show Encoded Videos. The Build actions that over-ride the Show Encoded Videos setting include Adaptive Video Sets, and eCatalogs.
note note NOTE If you did not use Adobe Dynamic Media Classic to upload and encode your video assets, Adobe Dynamic Media Classic shows all your individual encoded videos, even is this option is deselected. -

Overwrite Images - Adobe Dynamic Media Classic does not allow two files to have the same name. Each item’s Adobe Dynamic Media Classic ID (the image name minus the filename extension) must be unique. Because of this rule, the Upload dialog box has an Overwrite option. The exact effect of this option depends on the specified Overwrite Images option. These options specify how replacement images are uploaded: whether they replace the original images, or become duplicate images. Duplicate images are renamed with a “-1” (for example, chair.tif is renamed chair-1.tif). These options affect images uploaded to a different folder than the original or images with a different filename extension from the original (such as JPG, TIF, or PNG). See Use the Overwrite Images option.
-
Overwrite in current folder, same base image name/extension - This option is the strictest rule for replacement. It requires that you upload the replacement image to the same folder as the original, and that the replacement image has the same filename extension as the original. If these requirements are not met, a duplicate is created.
-
Overwrite in current folder, same base asset name regardless of extension - Requires that you upload the replacement image to the same folder as the original, however the filename extension can be different from the original. For example, chair.tif replaces chair.jpg.
-
Overwrite in any folder, same base asset name/extension - Requires that the replacement image has the same filename extension as the original image (for example, chair.jpg must replace chair.jpg, not chair.tif). However, you can upload the replacement image to a different folder than the original. The updated image resides in the new folder; the file can no longer be found in its original location
-
Overwrite in any folder, same base asset name regardless of extension - This option is the most inclusive replacement rule. You can upload a replacement image to a different folder than the original, upload a file with a different filename extension, and replace the original file. If the original file is in a different folder, the replacement image resides in the new folder to which it was uploaded.
-
-
Retain Publish - Specifies whether a replacement image uploaded to Adobe Dynamic Media Classic retains the Ready to Publish setting of the image it is replacing, or the setting is specified on upload.
-
Default Color Profiles - Specifies the color profiles applied as part of Default Color Profile Options when adding CMYK images.
-
Default Upload Options - Opens the Upload Job Options dialog box, where you can specify default upload options. For information about these options, see Upload options.
Image Map Editor (to Application)
-
Default Image Mapping HREF - Defines the default URL that is used for the HREF column in image mapping. This URL is the default URL that you see when you create Image Maps.
-
Default Image Mapping Template - Defines the default JavaScript for the HREF template in image mapping. You can set custom code here to be run whenever you select an image map.
Other Settings (to Application)
- Trash Can Clean Up Warnings - Assets in the Trash are automatically removed within seven days. Select “Send emails before trash items are automatically deleted” if you want notifications sent to company administrators when assets that are in the Trash are four days away from being permanently deleted. See Manage the Trash folder.
Use the Overwrite Images option using-the-overwrite-images-option
Adobe Dynamic Media Classic does not allow two files to have the same name. Each item’s Adobe Dynamic Media Classic ID (the image name minus the filename extension) must be unique. Because of this rule, the Upload dialog box includes Overwrite Images options. The exact effect of this option depends on a setting for each company’s Adobe Dynamic Media Classic Internal Settings.
If you previously uploaded images and then changed the original files (or replaced them), the chosen Overwrite option specifies how Adobe Dynamic Media Classic replaces the images. No information about the image changes, but the new image replaces the old one. If the folder also contains images that are not already in Adobe Dynamic Media Classic, these images are added.
Use this option if images that you have uploaded have changed in some way (image has been altered) but the reference to the image remains the same. Overwrite is also helpful when uploading and ripping Adobe® PDFs. To fine-tune how Adobe Dynamic Media Classic rips the image, adjust the ICC color profile options in the Upload dialog box and reupload using the Overwrite feature.
The Adobe Dynamic Media Classic IDs that are used to access images from the production servers are derived from the image filenames. The use of uppercase and lowercase characters in the filename is important, both in the replacement of existing files and for the Adobe Dynamic Media Classic IDs used to access the image. Be sure the use of uppercase and lowercase characters in filenames is correct before uploading into Adobe Dynamic Media Classic to avoid Adobe Dynamic Media Classic IDs that differ only in case for the same image.
If you deselect this option, all images with the same filenames as existing images are treated as duplicates and are not added.
Image Presets image-presets
The Image Presets screen is for creating and editing Image Presets. Image Presets enable Adobe Dynamic Media Classic to deliver images dynamically at different sizes from the same primary image. Each Image Preset represents a predefined collection of sizing and formatting commands for displaying images. When you create an Image Preset, you select a size for image delivery. You also select formatting commands so that the appearance of the image is optimized when the image is delivered for viewing.
Administrators can create presets for exporting assets. Users can choose a preset when they export images, which also reformat images to the specifications that the administrator specifies.
To open the Image Preset screen, on the Global Navigation bar, go to Setup > Image Presets.
See Smart imaging.

Image Preset options image-preset-options
The Add Preset and Edit Preset screens offers these options for creating and editing Image Presets:
-
Preset Name - Enter a descriptive name without any blank spaces. To help users identify this Image Preset, include the image-size specification in the name.
-
Width and Height - Enter in pixels the size at which the image is delivered.
-
Format - Select a format from the menu. Choosing the GIF, JPEG, PDF, or TIFF format brings up more options:
-
GIF Color Quantization Options
-
Type - Select Adaptive (the default), Web, or Mac. If you select GIF With Alpha, the Mac option is not available.
-
Dither - Select Diffuse or Off.
-
Number Of Colors - Drag the slider to enter 2-255.
-
Color List - Enter a comma-separated list. For example, for white, gray, and black, enter
000000,888888,ffffff.
-
-
JPEG Options
-
Quality - Controls the JPEG compression level. This setting affects both file size and image quality. The JPEG quality scale is 1-100.
-
Enable JPG Chrominance Downsampling - Because the eye is less sensitive to high-frequency color information than high-frequency luminance, JPEG images divide image information into luminance and color components. When a JPEG image is compressed, the luminance component is left at full resolution, while the color components are downsampled by averaging together groups of pixels. Downsampling reduces the data volume by one-half or one-third with almost no impact on perceived quality. Downsampling is not applicable to grayscale images. This technique reduces the amount of compression useful for images with high contrast (for example, images with overlaid text).
-
-
PDF and TIFF options
- Compression - Select a compression algorithm.
-
-
Colorspace - Select a color space.
-
Sharpening - Select the Enable Simple Sharpening option to apply a basic sharpening filter to the image after all scaling takes place. Sharpening can help compensate for blurriness that can result when you display an image at a different size.
For more information about sharpening, resample modes, and unsharp masking, see Sharpen an image. See also Sharpening training video.
-
Resample Mode - Select a Resampling mode option. These options sharpen the image when it is downsampled:
-
B-Linear - The fastest resampling method; some aliasing artifacts are noticeable.
-
Bi-Cubic - Increases CPU usage on the Image Server, but yields sharper images with less noticeable aliasing artifacts.
-
Sharp 2- Can produce slightly sharper results than the Bi-Cubic option, but at even higher CPU cost on the Image Server. -
Tri-Linear - Uses both higher and lower resolutions, if available; recommended only when aliasing is an issue. This method reduces JPEG size due to reduced high-frequency data.
-
Unsharp Masking - Choose these options to fine-tune sharpening:
-
Amount - Controls the amount of contrast applied to edge pixels. The default is 1.0. For high-resolution images, you can increase it to as high as 5.0. Think of Amount as a measure of filter intensity.
-
Radius - Determines the number of pixels surrounding the edge pixels that affect the sharpening. For high-resolution images, enter from 1 through 2. A low value sharpens only the edge pixels; a high value sharpens a wider band of pixels. The correct value depends on the size of the image.
-
Threshold - Determines the range of contrast to ignore when the unsharp mask filter is applied. In other words, this option determines how different the sharpened pixels must be from the surrounding area before they are considered edge pixels and are sharpened. To avoid introducing noise, experiment with values between .02 and 0.2. The default value of 6 sharpens all pixels in the image.
-
Color Space - Determines whether the image uses the space in which the image was created, usually RGB (Original) or a luminance space (Intensity).
-
Color Choose these options:
-
Output Color Profile - Select Use Default or one of the ICC color profiles available on the Adobe Dynamic Media Classic.
See also ICC profiles.
-
Rendering Intent - Select an option if you want to override the default rendering intent of the color profile. Use this option when one of the default ICC profiles is the target color space of a color conversion. Or, an output device (printer or monitor) is characterized by this profile, and the specified rendering intent is valid for this profile.
-
Embed Profile - Select this option so that, if you open this image in Adobe® Photoshop®, it uses this profile.
-
Print Resolution - Select a resolution for printing this image; 72 pixels is the default.
-
URL Modifiers - If you prefer to specify the URL modifiers that define your Image Preset, rather than the settings, enter the modifiers here.
-
Sample Image URL - Lists the “raw” URL string that the Dynamic Media Image Server uses to deliver images with the Image Preset you are adding or editing. This URL string encodes all the format settings that you select in the Add Preset or Edit Preset screen.

Activate or deactivate adaptive video presets activating-or-deactivating-adaptive-video-presets
Adobe Dynamic Media Classic offers Adaptive Video encoding presets. It is a primary list of presets that combines both 16:9 Adaptive Video presets and 4:3 Adaptive Video presets into one group. These predefined presets reflect the most common encoding settings and are optimized for playback on target mobile devices, tablets, and desktops.
Only “Adaptive Video” encoding presets are activated (enabled or “turned on”) by default. You can deactivate it, if desired. Inactive Adaptive Video presets do not appear as a selectable option in the eVideo section of the Upload Job Options dialog box.
See also Video presets training video.
To activate or deactivate adaptive video presets:
- Near the upper-right corner of Adobe Dynamic Media Classic, go to Setup > Application Setup > Video Presets > Adaptive Video Presets.
- On the Adaptive Video Presets page, deselect the check box next to a preset name to remove the preset from the eVideo Options list in the Upload Job Options dialog box.
- Select Close.
Video presets for encoding video files video-presets-for-encoding-video-files
To select an encoding preset, in the lower-right corner of the Upload page, select Job Options. In the Upload Job Options dialog box, expand eVideo Options and select the video encoding presets you want.
-
Select from the following adaptive video encoding or single-encoding presets:
-
16:9 Adaptive Video - Create 16:9 aspect ratio videos for delivery to desktops, mobile (iPhone, iPad, Android™), and tablets (iPad, Android™), optimized with the resolution and bit rate that best matches the viewer’s connection speed.
-
4:3 Adaptive Video - Create 4:3 aspect ratio videos for delivery to desktops, mobile (iPhone, iPad, Android™), and tablets (iPad, Android™), optimized with the resolution and bit rate that best matches the viewer’s connection speed.
-
Adaptive Video - A single-encoding preset that works with any aspect ratio to create videos for delivery to mobile, tablet, and desktop. Uploaded source videos that are encoded with this preset are set with a fixed height. However, the width automatically scales to preserve the video’s aspect ratio.
This flexibility of having an “Auto-scale” is also available by default when you create your own custom video encoding preset.
-
Adaptive Video Encoding (16:9 or 4:3) - Create both 16:9 and 4:3 aspect ratio videos for delivery to desktops, mobile (iPhone, iPad, Android™), and tablets (iPad, Android™). All optimized with the resolution and bit rate that best matches the viewer’s connection speed.
-
Single Encoding Presets
note note NOTE To deliver video to iPads, you can select a Mobile encoding preset or a Tablet encoding preset. Tablet presets are designed especially for the iPad, typically with higher resolution and quality to take advantage of the larger screen size and bandwidth connection. Delivering video files encoded with a Tablet preset requires you to include device-detection code on your mobile site or application. This code switches between an iPhone or iPad video experience, depending on the playback device. Choosing a Mobile preset for delivering video files to the iPad is a more simplified workflow. The reason is because you can use the same video file for both iPhones and iPads. However, the quality is standardized to the lower resolution iPhone experience. - Under the Encoding Presets group, in the Sort Encoding Presets drop-down list, select Name, or Size to sort presets by name or resolution size.
- Select an encoding preset based on the resolution size and bandwidth with which you plan to play the video.
- You can select Adaptive Video Encoding and one or more encoding presets per video. For example, you can encode a file for both desktop and mobile in one upload job.
-
After you select Start Upload, the original primary video file is uploaded and encoded files are generated from the primary file.
About encoding preset options about-encoding-preset-options
Parameters of the encoding preset options are the following:
-
Target connection speed - The Internet connection speed of the targeted end user.
-
Encoded file suffix - The suffix that is attached to the encoded video file for identification purposes.
-
Video bit rate (data rate) - The amount of data that is encoded to make up a single second of video playback (in kilobits per second).
-
Pixel Width/Height - The width dimension of the screen image, in pixels; the height dimension of the screen image (in pixels).
-
Frame per second (fps) - The number of frames, or still images, for each second of video. In the United States and Japan, most video is shot at 29.97 fps; in Europe and Asia (excluding Japan), most video is shot at 25 fps. Film is shot at 24 fps.
-
Audio bit rate - The amount of data that is encoded to make up a single second of audio playback, in kilobits per second.
The following tables show you recommended best practices for selecting video presets and the naming conventions that are used to designate encoded files.
Adaptive Video (default) adaptive-video-default
An encoding preset that works with any aspect ratio to let you create videos for delivery to mobile, tablet, and desktop. Uploaded source videos that are encoded using this preset (the default and a best practice) are set to a fixed height while the width automatically scales to preserve the video’s aspect ratio.
Adaptive Video (default)
Adaptive Video Encoding (16:9 or 4:3) video presets adaptive-video-encoding-or-video-presets
These adaptive video encoding presets combine a series of individual encode presets that are automatically selected for you based on the aspect ratio of the video that you uploaded. For example, if you upload a 4:3 video, it is automatically encoded using all five 4:3 presets found within the primary preset list in the Adaptive Video Encoding (16:9 or 4:3) option.

Viewer Presets viewer-presets
A Viewer Preset is a collection of settings that determine how users view rich-media assets on their computer screens and mobile devices. As an administrator, you can create Viewer Presets. Settings are available for an array of viewer configuration options. For example, you can change the viewer display size, zoom behavior, color schemes, borders, and fonts.
As a best practice, use Adobe Dynamic Media Classic HTML5 Video viewers. The presets used in HTML5 Video viewers are robust video players.
By combining into a single player the following:
- The ability to design the playback components using HTML5 and CSS.
- Have embedded playback.
- Use adaptive and progressive streaming depending on the browser’s capability.
You extend the reach of your rich media content to desktop, tablet, and mobile users, and ensure a streamlined video experience.
See About HTML5 Viewers in the Adobe Viewers Reference Guide.
See Adobe Dynamic Media Classic Viewer Preset compatibility matrix.
See Best practice: Using the HTML5 Video viewer.
Depending on the viewer, you can add community features. Community features include an Embed button, E-mail button, Link button, and Visit Site button. These buttons let people that use the viewers share the viewer with others or open the Adobe Dynamic Media Classic web site.
See also Adobe Viewers Reference Library Examples.
Viewer support for responsive-designed web pages viewer-support-for-responsive-designed-web-pages
Different web pages have different needs. Sometimes you want a web page that provides a link that opens the HTML5 Viewer in a separate browser window. In other cases, it is necessary to embed the HTML5 Viewer directly on the hosting page. In the latter case, the web page likely has a static layout. Or, it is “responsive” and displays differently on different devices or for different browser window sizes. To accommodate these needs, the HTML5 Viewers that come with Adobe Dynamic Media Classic support both static web pages and responsive-designed web pages.
For more information on how to embed responsive viewers onto your web pages, see About Responsive Image library, Use Responsive Image Library, and Command reference - Command attributes.
Viewer Preset types viewer-preset-types
Administrators can create and customize the following types of Viewer Presets:
-
eCatalog Viewer - Simulates the experience of reading a printed catalog. You can move from page to page, zoom in and out of items on a page, use image maps to see more information about items on the page, or search the catalog. You can also include an Info Panel to display detailed information and an image-mapped item if the map area has a valid rollover_key attribute. To include an Info Panel, specify an Information Server URL in the Info Panel Settings panel of the eCatalog Viewer Preset window.
-
Swatch Set Viewer - Displays an image in a different color, material, texture, finish, or fabric. Users select a thumbnail to see the variations in the image.
-
Mixed Media Set Viewer - Displays different types of media in one viewer. You can include Swatch Sets, Spin Sets, images, and videos. You can set up tabs to contain different types of content, such as a tab for image sets and a tab for videos. Videos played back from a Mixed Media Set use a standard video viewer with a timeline and video controls, such as Stop, Pause, Rewind, and Play. When you set up a Mixed Media Set Viewer preset, you specify which viewers you want to use for the different types of assets in your Mixed Media Set. You can also use the Grid Viewer or Carousel Viewer to view a Mixed Media Set.
-
Spin Set Viewer - Provides multiple views of an image so users can turn the object to examine the different sides and angles.
-
Video Viewer - Displays videos using the resolution dimensions of the source file or a custom size. Adobe Dynamic Media Classic comes with many predefined Viewer Presets for playing video, and if you are an administrator, you can create custom Video Viewer presets. There are more than 12 different settings for configuring the Video Viewer. You can configure its size, foreground and background color, video and audio controls, progress bar, user-interface skin, social features, and Help.
-
Zoom Viewers - Offers a choice of three types of zoom viewer:
-
Zoom Viewer - Lets users zoom into the area by selecting it. They can select controls to zoom in, zoom out, and reset the image to its default size.
-
Zoom Viewer: Fly-out - Displays a second image of the zoomed area next to the original image. There are no controls to use, users simply move the selection over the area they want to view.
When determining the complete bandwidth usage for this viewer, consider that both the main image and the flyout image are served in the viewer. The main image size (Stage Width and Height) and the Zoom Factor determine the flyout image size. To keep the flyout file size from becoming too large, balance these two values: if you have a large main image size, lower the Zoom Factor value. (The Flyout Width and Flyout Height determine the size of the flyout window, but not the size of the flyout image that is served into the viewer.)
For example, if your main image size is 350 by 350 pixels, with a Zoom Factor of 3, the resulting flyout image is 1050 by 1050 pixels. If your main image size is 300 by 300 pixels, with a Zoom Factor of 4, the flyout image is 1200 by 1200 pixels. Depending on the JPEG quality setting (recommended settings are between 80-90), you can decrease the file size significantly. Recommended zoom factors are 2.5 to 4, depending on the size of your main image.

Add and edit Viewer presets adding-and-editing-viewer-presets
Besides adding viewer presets by using Add in the user interface, you can also use Export to add a viewer preset. You simply export an existing HTML5 viewer preset, and then use that as the basis for the new preset.
See Export an HTML5 Viewer preset.
See also Viewer presets training video.
To add and edit Viewer presets:
-
Near the upper-right corner of Adobe Dynamic Media Classic, go to Setup > Viewer Presets.
You can filter on the list of presets. For example, to see only presets for Video Viewers, select Video Viewer from the Viewers drop-down menu on the toolbar directly above the table.
-
In the Viewer Presets page, add or edit the Viewer Preset on the Viewer Presets screen.
-
Add - On the toolbar, select Add. In the Add Viewer Preset dialog box, select a platform, and select a rich-media asset type.
code language-none Select **Save As** when you have finished creating the Viewer Preset. -
Add by starting from an existing Viewer preset - In the table, select a Video Viewer Preset, and then select Edit on the toolbar.
code language-none After you reconfigure the Video Viewer, select **Save As** to save the preset using a different name in the Preset Name text field. -
Edit - Select an existing Viewer Preset, and then select Edit.
-
-
In the Configure Viewer page, in the Preset Name field, enter, or edit the preset name.
-
Set the remaining options that you want.
note note NOTE Select Same As Source to automatically size the Video Viewer to the resolution size of the encoded video itself. If you select this option, you cannot enter the Stage Width and Stage Height. Instead, these options come from the video itself. If you select Same As Source, set the Margin Size option to reflect the skin dimensions outside the video playback area. This margin size is the pixel height and width of the video controls. You can use the following image to help you determine the margin sizes that you want to use.* 
-
Do one of the following:
- Select Save As if you added a Viewer preset by starting from an existing preset.
- Select Save if you added or edited a Viewer preset.
Export an HTML5 Viewer Preset exporting-an-html-viewer-preset
You can export an existing HTML5 Viewer Preset to use as the basis for creating an HTML5 Viewer Preset. This export option is useful because you do not have to create the viewer from scratch. Instead, you export a preset that looks and behaves close to what you want, then you can use that as a starting point to make design adjustments.
All default, out-of-box Viewer preset CSS files in Adobe Dynamic Media Classic use relative image-serving paths that point to assets on Scene7SharedAssets. For example, the following is a relative path to an image asset in a Viewer preset CSS file on
Scene7SharedAsset: .s7videoviewer .s7fullscreenbutton[state][selected] { background-image: url(/is/image/Scene7SharedAssets/FullScreenButton_dark_sprite?scl=1&fmt=png-alpha); }
However, if you host Viewer CSS files on your own site, you must resolve these relative image paths by using an explicit path to the Image Server in your own environment. For example, if you updated the relative path above to an explicit path, it could look like the following, where https://s7d1.scene7.com is the direct path to your image server: https://s7d1.scene7.com/is/image/Scene7SharedAssets/FullScreenButton_dark_sprite?scl=1&fmt=png-alpha
To export an HTML5 Viewer Preset:
.s7videoviewer .s7fullscreenbutton[state][selected]
{ background-image: url(/is/image/Scene7SharedAssets/FullScreenButton_dark_sprite?scl=1&fmt=png-alpha); }
https://s7d1.scene7.com/is/image/Scene7SharedAssets/FullScreenButton_dark_sprite?scl=1&fmt=png-alpha
-
Go to Setup > Viewer Presets.

Metadata Views metadata-views
Metadata is standardized information about an asset. You can use metadata to streamline your workflow, organize your assets, and improve searching. Adobe Dynamic Media Classic supports the IPTC (International Press Telecommunications Council) standard and the XMP (extensible metadata platform) standard. Before users view or enter metadata about an asset in Detail View, they can open the Metadata Views menu. From there, they can select the set of metadata fields that they want to view or use to describe the asset.
Adobe Dynamic Media Classic comes with pre-defined Metadata Views, and administrators can create their own Metadata Views for users to choose when they enter metadata.
Create a Metadata View creating-a-metadata-view
-
Go to Setup > Application Setup > Metadata > Metadata Views.
-
Select Add.
-
In the Preset Name text field, enter a name for the view.
-
(Optional) Check Make Default to make this view the one that users see when they open the Metadata panel in Detail View.
-
(Optional) Select Include UDF to include user-defined fields in the view. User-defined fields appear at the top of the Metadata panel in Detail View.
-
Select the fields that you want for the view (select Select All to select all the fields).
-
Select Save.
The selected categories and fields for the view appear in the Preview panel.
Manage Metadata Views managing-metadata-views
-
Go to Setup > Application Setup > Metadata > Metadata Views.
-
Do any of the following:
- To preview a view, select it. The fields in the view appear in the Preview panel.
- To edit a view, select it and then select Edit. Then select or deselect field names on the Preview panel, and select or deselect the Include UDF option.
- To delete a view, select it, and then select Delete.
- To make a view the default, select it, and then select Make Default. The default view is the one that users see when they open an asset in Detail View and go to the Metadata panel.
Metadata Presets metadata-presets
Metadata Presets give administrators a way to control and regulate metadata that is assigned to assets. In Detail View, a user can enter metadata about an asset in fields provided for that purpose. For example, a user can enter an owner name, copyright description, and address. To make sure that users enter this information accurately and completely, you can create Metadata Presets. Choosing a Metadata Preset in Detail View populates metadata fields with pre-defined values. For example, an owner name, copyright description, and address are entered automatically.
Create a Metadata Preset for each set of metadata values you want users to be able to enter automatically in Detail View to describe an asset.
Create or edit a Metadata Preset creating-or-editing-a-metadata-preset
-
Go to Setup > Application Setup > Metadata > Metadata Presets.

User-Defined Fields user-defined-fields
A Media Portal Administrator or a Company Administrator can create custom, user-defined metadata fields. Custom fields can help you organize assets in Adobe Dynamic Media Classic. You can mark the fields as Active, as necessary. When activated, the names of these custom metadata fields appear in the Metadata panel in Detail View. Users can enter information in user-defined metadata fields to describe assets. Users can also make a user-defined metadata field a criterion in searches.
One effective use of user-defined metadata fields is to delay the activation time of an asset for a specific launch or sale. You define an “activation” field, based on the type Date. Then, using the Metadata panel in Detail View or File > Edit Info, you can specify when the asset is activated. Adobe Dynamic Media Classic checks the publish status of an asset, and the publish history. If it is not within the activation time, the publish status shows as “Not Published”.
Create a user-defined metadata field creating-a-user-defined-metadata-field
-
Go to Setup > Application Setup > Metadata > User-Defined Fields.
-
Select Add
-
In the Custom Field dialog box, set the options you want.
-
Name - Enter a name for the metadata field.
-
Type - Select an option that defines the type of information that users can enter in the metadata field:
-
String - A text string.
-
Int - An integer.
-
Float - A floating-point number.
-
Yes/No - A yes/no Boolean value.
-
Date - A date. The MM/DD/YYYY format is accepted.
-
Filename - The name of a file.
-
Color - The name of a color.
-
Dimension - The width and the height of the asset.
-
Untyped - For backwards-compatibility. Do not select this option.
-
Default Value - Optionally, enter the value users are most likely to enter in the field. The value you enter becomes the default value for the field you create.
-
Applies To - Optionally, select an asset type if you want the metadata field to apply only to a specific type of asset.
note note NOTE Select an Applies To option carefully because you cannot change the Applies To option after you create a user-defined field. Adobe Dynamic Media Classic lets you edit the name, type, and default value of a user-defined field, but not the Applies To setting. *
-
-
Select Save when you finish creating the metadata field.
Manage user-defined fields manage-user-defined-fields
The User-Defined Fields screen offers commands for managing custom, user-defined metadata fields.
Only a Media Portal Administrator or a Company Administrator can manage user-defined fields.
To open this screen, go to Setup > Application Setup > Metadata > User-Defined Fields.
-
Edit a field - Select the field, and then select Edit.
-
Delete a field - Select the field, and then select Delete.
-
Activate field - Select or deselect the Active option next to the name of a field. If you are in a company administration role, this option is not shown. Because this option is related to MediaPortal, you must select (turn on) Show MediaPortal Features in Personal Setup to see the activated fields.
Optimize Files optimize-files
As you upload files to the Adobe Dynamic Media Classic, the system optimizes them for storage and publishing. If the upload process is interrupted, however, some images cannot be optimized. In this case, you see the “Image not yet optimized” message. You can, however, optimize these files if you are an administrator.
Adobe Dynamic Media Classic searches through your files and optimizes only those images that were not fully optimized before.
-
Go to Setup > Application Setup, and then select Optimize Files.
-
Enter information for the optimization job and select Submit.
If you are working with more than one company, optimize files belonging to different companies separately.
Batch Set Presets batch-set-presets
Use the batch set presets to automatically create image sets or spin sets while a job is running to upload assets to Adobe Dynamic Media Classic.
Company administrators first define naming conventions for the assets that they want to group in a set. You can then create a batch set preset to reference these images. Each preset is a uniquely named, self-contained set of instructions that defines how to construct the set using images that match the defined naming conventions in the preset recipe.
All active batch set presets for a company are listed on the Upload Job Option dialog box, so you can specify which preset you want applied during each upload session. Company administrators see all active and inactive batch set presets. When you upload files, Adobe Dynamic Media Classic automatically creates a set with all files that match the defined naming convention in the active presets.
Default Naming default-naming
The company administrator creates a default naming convention that is used in any batch set preset recipe. The default naming convention selected in the batch set preset definition may be all that is needed by your company to batch-generate sets for all websites. A batch set preset is created to use the default naming convention you define. You are able to create as many Batch Set presets with alternate, custom naming conventions needed for a particular set of content in cases where there is an exception to the company-defined default naming.
Setting up a default naming convention is not required to use batch set preset functionality. However, Adobe best practice recommends that you use a default naming convention to define as many elements of your naming convention that you want grouped in a set. Doing so helps to streamline batch set creation.
-
Go to Setup > Application Setup > Batch Set Presets > Default Naming.
-
Select View Form or View Code to specify how you want to view and enter information about each element.
You can select the View Code check box to view the regular expression value building alongside your form selections. You are able to enter or alter these values to help define the elements of the naming convention, if the form view limits you for any reason. If your values are unable to be parsed in the form view, the form fields become inactive.
note note NOTE De-activated form fields do not indicate invalid regular expression. There is no validation that your regular expressions are correct. You will see results of the regular expression you are building for each element after the Result line. The complete regular expression is visible at the bottom of the page. -
Expand each element as necessary and enter the naming conventions you want to use.
-
As necessary, select Add to add another naming convention for an element. Or, select Remove to delete a naming convention for an element.
-
Select Save As and type a name for the preset. Or, select Save if you are editing an existing preset.
Alternately, you can use View Code with no form fields available. In this view, you create your naming convention definitions entirely using regular expressions.
Two elements are available for definition, Match and Base Name. These fields let you define all elements of a naming convention and identify the part of the convention used to name the set in which they are contained. A company’s individual naming convention could use one or more lines of definition for each of these elements. You can use as many lines for your unique definition and group them into distinct elements, such as for Main Image, Color element, Alternate View element, and Swatch element.
Create a batch set preset creating-a-batch-set-preset
Adobe Dynamic Media Classic uses batch set presets to organize assets that share some common information or content into sets of images for display in viewers. The batch set preset recipes automatically run alongside the asset import jobs you schedule in Adobe Dynamic Media Classic.
Use Batch Set Preset to create, edit, and manage your batch set presets. You can create as many presets as necessary to cover all asset ingest jobs you require. There are two forms of batch set preset definitions: one for a default naming convention that you have set up, and one for custom-naming conventions that you create on the fly.
You can use either the form field method to define a batch set preset or the code method, which lets you use regular expressions. As in Default Naming, you can select Code View at the same time you are defining in the Form View and use of regular expressions to build your definitions. Alternately, you can uncheck either view to use one or the other exclusively.

See also 2D spin set training video.
To create a batch set preset:
-
Go to Setup > Application Setup > Batch Set Presets > Batch Set Preset. View Form, as set in the upper-right corner of the Details page, is the default view.
-
In the Preset List panel, select Add to activate the definition fields in the Details panel on the right-hand side of the page.
-
In the Details panel, in the Preset Name field, type a name for the preset.
-
In the Batch Set Type drop-down menu, select a preset type.
To autogenerate a 2D Spin Set, select Multi-Axis Spin Set from the Batch Set Type drop-down list.
-
Do one of the following:
- If you are using a default naming convention that you previously set up under Application Setup > Batch Set Presets > Default Naming, expand Asset Naming Conventions, and then in the File Naming drop-down list, select Default.
- To define a naming convention as you set up the preset, expand Asset Naming Conventions, and then in the File Naming drop-down list, select Custom.
-
For Sequence order, define the order for the images after the set is grouped in Adobe Dynamic Media Classic. By default, your assets are ordered alphanumerically. However, you can use a comma-separated list of regular expressions to define the order.
-
For Set Naming and Creation Convention, specify the suffix or prefix to the base name you defined in the Asset Naming Convention. Also define where the image set is created within the Adobe Dynamic Media Classic folder structure.
If you define large numbers of image sets, keep these sets separate from the folders that contain the assets themselves. Many customers create an Image Sets folder and redirect the application to place batch set generated sets here.
-
Select Save in the Details Panel.
Create a batch set preset for the auto generation of a 2D Spin Set creating-a-batch-set-preset-for-the-auto-generation-of-a-d-spin-set
You can use the Batch Set Type Multi-Axis Spin Set to create a “recipe” that automates the generation of 2D Spin Sets. The grouping of images uses Row and Column regular expressions so that the image assets are properly aligned in the corresponding location in the multi-dimensional array.
See also Create a batch set preset.
There is no minimum or maximum number of rows or columns that you must have in a multiaxis spin set.
As an example, suppose you want to create a multiaxis spin set named spin-2dspin. You have a set of spin set images that contain three rows, with 12 images per row. The images are named as follows:
spin-01-01
spin-01-02
…
spin-01-12
spin-02-01
…
spin-03-12
With this information, your Batch Set Type recipe could be created as follows:
Grouping for the shared asset name part of the spin set is added to the Match field (as highlighted). The variable part of the asset name containing the row and column is added to the Row and Column fields, respectively.
When the Spin Set is uploaded and published, you would activate the name of the 2D Spin Set recipe that is listed under Batch Set Presets in the Upload Job Options dialog box.
To create a batch set preset for the auto generation of a 2D Spin Set:
-
Go to Setup > Application Setup > Batch Set Presets > Batch Set Preset. View Form, as set in the upper-right corner of the Details page, is the default view.
-
In the Preset List panel, select Add to activate the definition fields in the Details panel on the right side of the page.
-
In the Details panel, in the Preset Name field, type a name for the preset.
-
In the Batch Set Type drop-down menu, select Asset Set.
-
In the Sub-Type drop-down list, select Multi-Axis Spin Set.
-
Expand Asset Naming Conventions, and then in the File Naming drop-down list, select Custom.
-
Use the Match and, optionally, Base Name attributes to define a regular expression for the naming of image assets that make up the grouping.
For example, your literal Match regular expression could look like the following:
(\w+)-\w+-\w+ -
Expand Row Column Position, and then define the name format for the position of the image asset within the 2D Spin Set array.
Use the parenthesis to embrace the row or column position in the file name.
For example, for your row’s regular expression, it could look like the following:
\w+-R([0-9]+)-\w+or
\w+-(\d+)-\w+For your column regular expression, it could look like the following:
\w+-\w+-C([0-9]+)or
\w+-\w+-C(\d+)Remember that these expressions are only examples. You can create your regular expression however you want to suit your needs.
note note NOTE If the combination of regular expressions in rows and columns cannot determine the position of the asset within the multi-dimensional spin set array, that asset is not added to the set, and an error is logged. -
For Set Naming and Creation Convention, specify the suffix or prefix to the base name you defined in the Asset Naming Convention. Also define where the image set is created within the Adobe Dynamic Media Classic folder structure.
If you define large numbers of image sets, keep these sets separate from the folders that contain the assets themselves. Many customers create an Image Sets folder and redirect the application to place batch set generated sets here.
-
Select Save in the Details Panel.
-
Upload and publish your Spin Set as usual making sure you activate the name of your 2D Spin Set in the Job Load Options dialog box, under Batch Set Presets.
