Hi Team — need advice on bulk video reprocessing and republishing (5k+ assets)Background: I need to reprocess videos across multiple folders. I have two options:Run CURL commands in batches (preferred — keeps processing external to platform; Adobe recommended this). Run a Groovy script inside AEM.Questions / requests:Republishing strategy — recommended batch size, pacing, and concurrency controls? Reprocessing is async, so what safe concurrency limits or delay patterns have you used to avoid overloading Dynamic Media/encoders? Is there an OOTB AEM workflow or pattern to trigger bulk video republishing across folders (e.g., adapt DAM Update Asset, Workflow Launcher, or Dynamic Media jobs)? If yes, can it be run cross-folder and at scale? Error handling & idempotency — advice on retry/backoff strategy, transient vs permanent error handling, and marking completed assets to avoid double-processing? Any known platform limits, performance caveats or recommended throttling values (per min

Hi Team,I am serving video through dynamic media, and I want to customize one of the OOB “Subtitles & Audio tracks” Tab, when you upload a video There is an option comes where we can upload the subtitle and Audio tracks, I want to rename the Tab “Subtitles & Audio tracks” → “Video Details”And let suppose if we upload a subtitle’s then I can customize the Language dropdown -example: If I want to keep only few in dropdown So can anyone please guide me1- How can I Rename the Subtitles & Audio tracks  to→ Video Details2- I want to provide only specific language under language dropdown. Thanks ​@kautuk_sahni  ​@arunpatidar  ​@lukasz-m  ​@BrianKasingli 

We currently manage podcasts and audio with external platforms (Brightcove, Libsyn, etc.) and use AEM Assets only for storage. AEM supports basic audio files today, but we need clarity on Adobe’s plans for richer audio capabilities and player functionality tied to Dynamic Media. Specifically, we’re looking for info on:Native audio player and embeddable player components (web & mobile) using Dynamic Media Streaming support (HLS/DASH, adaptive bitrate) and CDN integration for audio delivery Rendition and derivative management for audio (bitrates/encodings) mapped to source assets Metadata and enrichment: ID3/chapters, transcripts, speech‑to‑text, search indexing Podcast features: RSS hosting, platform syndication (Apple, Spotify), episode feeds Analytics: plays, downloads, listener geography, referrers, playback events (play/pause/seek) APIs, webhooks, and recommended integration patterns with Brightcove/Libsyn Interim workarounds and reference architectures until native features arr

I’m exploring whether AEM data can be connected directly to Power BI for reporting and visualization.Our initial thought is to present the data in a Power BI dashboard, as that would be more digestible and useful than sharing raw data exports. I recall a similar question being asked several years ago (around 10 years back), and at the time the options were fairly limited.Has anyone implemented this more recently? Is there now a supported or practical way to connect AEM data to Power BI (e.g., via APIs, connectors, or intermediate data stores)? Any lessons learned or recommended approaches?

!--startfragment>I want to use the AEM List Folder module in Workfront Fusion to fetch subfolder data. However, while creating the connection I keep getting a 400 error.To troubleshoot, I went to the Adobe Developer Console, created a project, and added the AEM Assets Author API. But when I try to configure authentication, there is no option available for Server-to-Server OAuth.Because of this limitation, I am unable to connect the module.Could you please advise how to solve this problem, or if there is any alternative solution to connect Fusion with AEM Assets for listing folders?!--endfragment>

I am trying to have the Dam Metadata Writeback workflow set some attributes in a custom namespace back to a .NEF file (Nikon RAW camera file), but it’s not recognizing it. It does work for png and jpg files, interestingly enough. What might be the config that manages this in AEM? This is for AEM as a Cloud Service (SDK, running locally for now.)Thanks!

I am working on AEM Assets(AEMaaCS) with AEM Sites(AMS), where I have connected AEM Assets to AEM Sites via the Dynamic Media Open API. I added the Image V3 component to a page, and in the Smart Cropping section, I see a list of ratios. The issue is that this list is coming from the Image V3 component and is hardcoded. However, I want this list to be generated dynamically from AEM Assets. How can I achieve this?      

I am investigating linking our Creative Cloud libraries to AEM as a cloud. I found the video linked below. My question is this:If I copy an asset into a Creative Cloud library am I still able to track its use? If someone uses an asset from a library via InDesign or Express will I see that usage for the asset in AEM?  https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/experience-manager-learn/assets-essentials/creative-cloud

Hi i created a collectionLucene under oak index for /content/dam/collections path now it's blocking deletion under the path /content/dam/ *  with the status missing for guid to remidiate this I deleted the node collectionLucene but now the navigation in assets is experiencing a performance delay for every action of moving through the folders and all.   

Hi, I am planning to leverage Adobe scene7 video player for our application and want to analyze the downsides ahead of implementation.Parameters to analyze:1. Accessibility of the player (When we performed proof of concept 1.5 yrs. back, player was not fully accessible)2. Ease of customization with backward compatibility. 3. Performance on low bandwidth networks. Thanks,Vishal

We currently have users uploading their assets to the linked AEM folder in Workfront, which then syncs to AEM/Content Hub. If an error is identified on an asset, it must be manually deleted in AEM and then again in Workfront.Is there a report available that can identify whether users have deleted an asset from the linked AEM folder? Additionally, do teams typically have a governance process in place for when this occurs?

How do I rebrand and configure the default WKND search page?

Where is Content Hub pulling schema data from and can we modify it?  Lots of available metadata fields there that are not in our production schema in AEM assets.  I do see our custom schema, so it is pulling our fields correctly.  There are maybe a hundred other field names showing as available in Content Hub when adding fields to a section in Configuration.  Any access to it all? 

We are just beginning to use folder metadata schemas, but we have thousands of folders that were created without one. Is there a way to allow users to apply a schema to a folder that originally did not have one? I am aware of the way to do it as an Administrator, but it would be nice if users could add one as well. 

Currently, if you delete an asset via new Assets UI [1] this will end up in the trash folder. From here, you are able to restore it easily.Although CF are stored below /content/dam this functionality is not there for CF! Why is that. CF are holding same important content (maybe more if delivered to different channels) like an asset. Why does Adobe not offer the function? Please implement the restore functionality for CF!  

Hi,We have Adobe Analytics and a Redshift instance where we put our web metrics, Qualtrics surveys, content inventories, etc. But we get constant requests for insights on what's going on inside of AEM.  List of pages with a specific value in a tag list. Can we get a list of pages that have “Payroll” in the product list tag?List of pages that have specific terms in the text. Can we get a list of all pages that contain the phrase “packaged solution” or “marketplace packaged solution”?List of pages with specific components. Can we get a list of pages that contain dynamic components?List of pages created by or modified by a person or list of persons.The following authors have left the company, and their content must be re-assigned to new authors.

Smaller, Smarter, Smoother: Optimizing Video Delivery with AEM Dynamic Media Adaptive Videos From immersive product showcases to engaging brand stories, video content drives user engagement and conversion. According to a 2025 study, 95% of marketers now use video as a core part of their digital strategy, and 93% report positive ROI from video marketing. However, delivering high-quality videos across diverse devices and fluctuating network conditions remains a challenge. In a study conducted way back in 2012, Sitaraman and colleagues found that each additional second of load time beyond ~2 seconds increases the probability of the viewer abandoning the video by approximately 5.8%. While this study dates to 2012, its relevance persists, especially in 2025, where viewer expectations for instant playback are even higher. In this blog, we will experience together, with a demo, how buffering impacts user experience and how AEM Dynamic Media addresses it. To be specific, we will

Query:In AEM, when using the Dimensional Viewer for 3D assets in DAM, we navigate to the asset's detail page, select Viewers → Dimensional Viewer, and see two buttons — URL and Embed. Clicking the URL button provides a link like https://s7.scene7.com.Where can I find the actual code or configuration responsible for generating these URL and Embed buttons, so I can modify the output URL to use https://abc.com instead of https://s7.scene7.com Regards,Srinivas

Within Asset UI/AEMaaCS/AEM Assets when filters are applied while searching, they are cleared after navigating away from the page or if a user refreshes the screen. It would be beneficial to the user experience if the filters remained applied so the user doesn't have to reapply the same filters. This isn't something that can be configured or controlled.

I have an OSGi service that uses the WorkflowService API to programmatically trigger the "Update Asset" workflow that's forever been found at:/var/workflow/models/dam/update_assetIt's missing in AEM Assets as a Cloud Service and I can't find clear documentation on triggering its equivalent. Does anyone here have advice on what needs to be done to trigger this or its equivalent from inside an OSGi service in Assets as a Cloud Service? Note: The workflow model still exists in the Quickstart Jar from Software Distribution, so everything works fine for me locally. For context: The reason why we're triggering the workflow is because we have custom OSGi code that pulls proprietary data from other systems and creates and updates both image Assets and Content Fragments. Updated images will create new Revisions of Assets through the AssetsManager API. The Update Asset workflow doesn't seem to fire the way it would if you manually made these same changes, so we're triggering the Update

Hi Team, Does anyone know the steps involved to make AEM Assets defined taxonomy (hierarchical tags) available in Content Hub? (as filters, upload metadata, and search)Although some tags related choices show in the selector, these are not our custom defined ones. The configuration panel is very well made and easy to understand. But it is somewhat surprising that this essential part is not directly available.Thanks for your insights.

HelloI would like to understand what all file formats does DM supports. I understand that DM is primarily for delivering media files like images, videos, audio etc. But can we use DM to deliver files like docx, xlx, ppt, pdf etc which are uploaded to AEM and synced with DM. Does that make any sense doing so?Thanks

We are looking for recommendations on how to effectively use the Asset Selector dialog in AEM with NextGen Dynamic Media and a large number of assets, like 1M+. We use Asset Selector with the AEM core components and the OOB search is very rudimentary: you can only search by keywords and filter by file and mime types. Folders aren't supported. In AEM it takes Log(N) number of clicks to drill down into the hierarchy and select an asset. With the Asset Selector it can easily take minutes, and it's way less intuitive. We understand that internally NextGen Dynamic Media uses a non-hierarchical storage where assets are keyed by UUID, but if the origin (AEM) supports hierarchies it would be great to support it in Asset Selector. Collections aren't supported either. There is a Collections tab in the dialog but it says "Collections not supported" no matter what.  The keyword search does not support all metadata fields, like IPTC, Camera Data and custom. It seems to support o
