Settings common to all Dynamic Media Classic components settings-common-to-all-scene-components

Although configuration options vary, the following are common to all Dynamic Media Classic components:

You set these configuration options by opening (double-clicking) a Dynamic Media Classic component, for example, when you open a Zoom component:

Zoom zoom

The HTML5 Zoom component displays a larger image when you press the + button.

The asset has zoom tools at the bottom. Select + if you want to enlarge; select - if you want to reduce. Tapping the x or the reset zoom arrow brings the image back to the original size it was imported as. Select the diagonal arrows so you make it full screen. Select Edit so you can configure the component. With this component, you can configure settings common to all Dynamic Media Classic components.

Flyout flyout

In the HTML5 Flyout component, the asset is shown as split screen; left the asset in the specified size; right the zoom portion is displayed. Select Edit so you can configure the component. With this component, you can configure settings common to all Dynamic Media Classic components.

Image image

The Dynamic Media Classic Image component lets you add Dynamic Media Classic functionality to your images, such as Dynamic Media Classic modifiers, image or viewer presets, and sharpening. The Dynamic Media Classic Image component is similar to other image components in Experience Manager with special Dynamic Media Classic functionality. In this example, the image has the Dynamic Media Classic URL modifier, &op_invert=1 applied.

Title, Alt Text - In the Advanced tab, add a title to the image and alt text for those users who have graphics turned off.

URL, Open in - You can set an asset from to open a link. Set the URL and in Open in indicate whether you want it to open in the same window or a new window.

Viewer preset - Select an existing viewer preset from the drop-down menu. If the viewer preset you are looking for is not visible, you must make it visible. See Manage Viewer Presets. You cannot select a viewer preset if you are using an image preset and conversely.

Dynamic Media Classic Configuration - Select the Dynamic Media Classic configuration you want to use to fetch active image presets from SPS.

Image preset - Select an existing image preset from the drop-down menu. If the image preset you are looking for is not visible, you must make it visible. See Manage Image Presets. You cannot select a viewer preset if you are using an image preset and conversely.

Output Format - Select the output format of the image, for example, jpeg. Depending on the output format you select, there are additional configuration options. See Image Preset best practices.

Sharpening - Select how you want to sharpen the image. Sharpening is explained in detail in Image Preset best practices and Sharpening best practices.

URL Modifiers - You can change image effects by supplying additional Dynamic Media Classic image commands. These commands are described in Image Presets and the Command reference.

Breakpoints - If your website is responsive, you want to adjust the breakpoints. Breakpoints must be separated by commas ( , ).

Image Template image-template

Dynamic Media Classic Image Templates are layered Photoshop content that was imported to Dynamic Media Classic, where content and properties were parameterized for variability. The Image template component lets you import images and change the text dynamically in Experience Manager. In addition, you can configure the Image template component to use values from client context, so that each user experiences the image in a personalized way.

Select Edit if you want to configure the component. You can configure settings common to all Dynamic Media Classic components and other settings described in this section.

File Reference, Width, Height - See settings common to all ScDynamic Media Classicene7 components.

Title, Alt Text - In the Dynamic Media Classic Image Template tab, add a title to the image and alt text for those users who have graphics turned off.

URL, Open in - You can set an asset from to open a link. Set the URL and in Open in indicate whether you want it to open in the same window or a new window.

Parameter Panel - When importing an image, the parameters are pre-populated with information from the image. If there is no content that can be dynamically changed, this window is empty.

Change text dynamically changing-text-dynamically

To change the text dynamically, enter new text in the fields and select OK. In this example, the Price is now $50 and shipping is 99 cents.

The text in the image changes. You can reset the text back to the original value by tapping Reset next to the field.

Change text to reflect the value of a client context value changing-text-to-reflect-the-value-of-a-client-context-value

To link a field to a client context value, select Select to open the client-context menu, select the client context, and select OK. In this example, the name changes based on linking the Name with the formatted name in the profile.

The text reflects the name of the currently logged in user. You can reset the text back to the original value by clicking Reset next to the field.

Video component video-component

The Dynamic Media Classic Video component (available from the Dynamic Media Classic section of the sidekick) uses device and bandwidth detection to serve the right video to each screen. This component is an HTML5 video player; it is a single viewer that can be used cross channel.

It can be used for adaptive video sets, a single MP4 video, or a single F4V video.

See Video for more information on how videos work with Dynamic Media Classic integration. In addition, see the Dynamic Media Classic Video component versus the Foundation Video component.

Known limitations of the video component known-limitations-for-the-video-component

Adobe DAM and WCM shows if a primary source video is uploaded. They do not show these proxy assets:

When using an adaptive video set with the Dynamic Media Classic video component, you must resize the component to fit the dimensions of the video.

Dynamic Media Classic content browser scene-content-browser

The Dynamic Media Classic content browser lets you view content from Dynamic Media Classic directly in Experience Manager. To access the content browser, in the Content Finder, select Dynamic Media Classic in the touch-optimized user interface or the S7 icon in the classic user interface. Functionality is identical between both user interfaces.

If you have multiple configurations, Experience Manager by default displays the default configuration. You can select different configurations directly in the Dynamic Media Classic content browser in the drop-down menu.

Browse content in the touch-optimized UI browsing-content-in-the-touch-optimized-ui

You can access the content browser either in the touch-optimized or classic UI. Currently the touch-optimized has the following limitation:

Browse Dynamic Media Classic assets by selecting Dynamic Media Classic from the third drop-down menu. Dynamic Media Classic does not appear in the list if you have not configured Dynamic Media Classic/Experience Manager integration.

In addition, you can browse resolution information, size, days since modification, and file name by hovering over the asset in the browser.

Search for Dynamic Media Classic assets with the content browser searching-for-scene-assets-with-the-content-browser

Searching for assets in Dynamic Media Classic is similar to searching for assets in Experience Manager Assets. However, when you search you are actually seeing a remote view of the assets in the Dynamic Media Classic system, rather than importing them directly into Experience Manager.

You can use either the classic UI or the touch-optimized UI to both view and search for assets. Depending on the interface, how you search is slightly different.

When searching in either UI, you can filter by the following criteria (shown here in the touch-optimized UI):

Enter keywords - You can search assets by name. When searching, the keywords you enter is what the file name starts with. For example, typing the word “swimming” would look for any asset file names that start with those letters in that order. Be sure to press enter after you type the term to find the asset.

Folder/path - The name of the folder that is seen is based on the configuration you have selected. You can drill down to lower levels by tapping the folder icon and selecting a subfolder, then tapping the checkmark to select it.

If you enter a keyword and select a folder, Experience Manager searches that folder and any subfolders. However, if you do not enter any keywords when searching, selecting the folder only shows the assets in that folder and does not include any subfolders.

By default, Experience Manager searches the folder selected and all subfolders.

Type of Asset - Select Dynamic Media Classic to browse Dynamic Media Classic content. This option is only available if Dynamic Media Classic has been configured.

Configuration - If you have more than one Dynamic Media Classic configuration defined in Cloud Services, you can select it here. As a result, the folder changes based on the configuration you have chosen.

Asset type - Within the Dynamic Media Classic browser, you can filter results to include any of the following: images, templates, videos, and adaptive video sets. If you do not select any asset type, Experience Manager, by default, searches all asset types.

Publish Status - You can filter for assets based on publication status: Unpublished or Published. If you do not select any Publish Status, Experience Manager by default searches all publish statuses.
