Adobe Experience Manager Assets

If you're managing digital assets for a real estate project - think property images, floor plans, brochures, virtual tour videos - Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) Assets can play a surprisingly powerful role in your off-page SEO strategy.I've been working on optimizing visibility for a residential project (Assetz Codename Sublime) and wanted to share how AEM Assets helps us earn backlinks, social signals, and brand mentions that directly impact search rankings.Why Off-Page SEO Needs Strong Asset ManagementOff-page SEO isn't just link building anymore. Google rewards brand authority, which means your images, videos, and downloadable content need to be:Consistently branded across syndicated platforms Embedded with proper metadata (EXIF, IPTC, schema) Fast-loading when shared on external sites or portals Traceable when picked up by third-party real estate listing sitesAEM Assets handles all of this natively.Practical Workflow We UseRenditions for external portals - We configure AEM to auto

Hi, I am trying to learn more about AEM Assets Power users. How should we define and manage AEM Assets Power User roles, permissions, and enablement (bulk edits, custom workflows, rendition controls) to maximize productivity while preventing governance drift, security risks, and performance bottlenecks?Do we mandatorily require this license seats since most of day to day operation is covered in basic user license?

I’m looking to learn from others who may have a similar setup or have solved a comparable challenge.Currently, our video workflow runs through Workfront, where metadata is captured and then pushed into AEM. However, the actual video files themselves are stored externally in Brightcove rather than in AEM.We’re exploring ways to improve the end-user experience in Content Hub by:Displaying video metadata coming from AEM Including a video thumbnail for visual context Providing a direct external link (stored in Workfront/AEM) so users can easily access the video in BrightcoveQuestion for the community:Have you implemented a similar approach where metadata lives in AEM (or another CMS), but the actual asset is hosted in a different platform?If so:How did you structure the integration? How are you surfacing the asset in your content hub or discovery layer? Any lessons learned or best practices you’d recommend?Appreciate any insights or examples you can share!

Hello awesome community guys, I found one missing tool in AEM MCP arsenal. Ended writing a custom mcp server that runs on AIO AppBuilder as runtime action.Explained here https://medium.com/@bsaravanaprakash/one-missing-tool-in-aem-mcp-registry-and-how-to-build-it-on-aio-902cc13b1afaWith this learnt experience, I quickly identified couple more tools usecases on my custom mcp server.Optimized product image search - tool will first hit PIM to resolve to more accurate tags and then hits DAM querying customized tags. Returns accurate product images Taxonomy Resolver - our DAM is massive (3.4M) and taxonomy follows rules. freetext image search mostly timesout due to volume. So custom tool, that runs taxonomy rules, narrows dam folder path and then run Adobe MCP asset search using querybuilder.  Is there any more usecases you are able to find? Tool example, that is difficult with Adobe MCP registry, and qualifies for its own custom server?  Please do share, ready to flex my muscles.

Last October, I had looked into a course through adobe (Adobe Experience Manager - Manage and Deliver Digital Assets Using AEM ). It was a 2 day course, this got put on the backburner at work. I have now come back to look for it and I cannot get this link to load no matter what (I get stuck in a never ending loop of “Unable to sign you in. Something went wrong while signing you in. Please try again. Log in again”) nor can I find any info on the course anymore. Course Link: https://learning.adobe.com/courses/adobe_experiencemanager/cours000000000090761.html#accordion-e49b3a35f2-item-d61e35014aIs this course still available? Why can’t I see it anymore? The only other adobe course I can find with a similar name is a 2 hour self-guided one, that does not seem equivalent.Thanks in advance!

Hi All, We have used sling:resourceType="cq/gui/components/authoring/dialog/fileupload" have in our AEM components along with enableNextGenDynamicMedia as “true” to connect to Remote DAM instances. Our Polaris URL for video is of the format as below - https://delivery-p123456-e98765432.adobeaemcloud.com/adobe/assets/urn:aaid:aem:a64f4a64-0af2-4991-ghg4-68542aae43e4/as/1f605fcd-xyz-Jumpstart.mp4Directly hitting on browser gives 404 - {"type": "https://aem.api.adobe.io/problems/not_found","title": "Not Found","status": 404,"detail": "Item doesn't exist"}But if I transform the URL by stripping “/as/1f605fcd-xyz-Jumpstart.mp4” and appending “/play” makes it work on the browser by loading the “Dynamic Media Video Player”.How we render it in our DOM is FED based on ReactJS takes the URL and renders the DOM as below - <div class="video-container"> <span data-component="BannerVideoModal" data-props="{ videoUrl: https://delivery-p123456-e7654321.adobeaemcloud.com/adobe/assets/ur

Many thanks to Senior Product Manager Mayank Gaur and Computer Scientist Priyank Modi for showcasing the power and possibilities of AEM Dynamic Media! If you weren’t able to attend live – or want to revisit any part of the session – we’ve compiled a summary, session materials and additional resources below!  Session SummaryThe session focused on how AEM Dynamic Media helps organizations move from managing assets to activating personalized, governed digital experiences at scale. Using a coffee product launch example, the presenters demonstrated how Dynamic Media enables automated image and video optimization, AI-assisted asset activation through the Content Optimization Agent, secure and governed delivery controls, and scalable personalization through Dynamic Media Templates. The event also covered reporting capabilities, upcoming roadmap enhancements, and customer Q&A. Session MaterialsSlide Deck PDF Webinar Recording Additional ResourcesEvaluate Dynamic Media with the new Snapshot

Hi, We have a requirement in our project to delete, move, and merge tags. However, I’m facing some challenges in understanding how the taxonomy functionality behaves in these scenarios.1. Delete:When a tag is deleted, it is not removed from the associated asset properties. It appears that the tag must be explicitly removed from each asset, or handled through backend implementation.2. Move/Merge:When a tag is moved to a different folder or merged to a new tags, the changes are not reflected in the asset properties unless the tag references in the assets are manually updated.Could you please clarify why the system behaves this way? Is there any recommended approach to delete, move, or merge tags such that the changes are automatically reflected in asset properties, without requiring additional backend implementation?Thanks

Hi Community,We recently encountered an issue with Dynamic Media Video Viewer Presets on our AEM 6.5.21 and wanted to share our findings in case others run into something similar.IssueIn the Dynamic Media component, one author was able to see all custom Video Viewer Presets, while another author could see only a subset of the available presets.The behavior was inconsistent across users even though the presets existed and were correctly configured.InvestigationAfter comparing permissions and user groups, we found that the affected user was a member of the Administrators group.While authoring the Dynamic Media component, errors were appearing in the logs. The issue was traced to:/libs/dam/components/scene7/common/viewerpresetdatasource/viewerpresetdatasource.jsp  The JSP iterates through the preset nodes and attempts to retrieve:preset.getNode(Node.JCR_CONTENT)For administrator users, the iteration also includes the rep:policy node because they have permission to view it. Since rep:polic

Has anyone implemented a solution to ingest assets from a Google Cloud Storage (GCS) bucket into AEM Assets that works across both AEM 6.5 AMS and AEM as a Cloud Service?We're looking for an approach that is portable between the two platforms and avoids maintaining separate ingestion solutions.I'd love to hear from anyone who has experience with:GCS → AEM asset ingestion architectures Custom services, middleware, ETL tools, or Adobe-supported integrations Metadata mapping and updates during ingestion Incremental synchronization of new or changed assets Patterns that are compatible with both AMS and AEMaaCS Lessons learned, challenges, or recommendationsIf you've solved a similar use case, what approach did you take and would you recommend it today?Thanks in advance for sharing your experience.

We are looking for a dynamic functionality in assets where we have to show user id watermark on asset while viewing it on page and in DAM both. We are looking to add the user watermark when the user downloads the assets.Please provide your thoughts and ideas on this. 

Most DAM governance models we inherit are designed for a problem that no longer exists. The closed authoring loop is gone. Content Hub, MCP endpoints, and Brand Experience Agents have opened it, and the governance has not kept up. What is breaking in productionStale rights metadata reaching external partners through Content Hub. AI generated variants with no lineage back to the source. Tags that look right but were produced by an LLM without controlled vocabulary alignment. Distribution portals shipping content past its expiry because nothing on the way out re-reads the policy. What is working for us so farGovernance lives in metadata, not in folder paths. Folder structure is a navigation aid. Rights, lifecycle state, AI provenance, market scope, and approval state are schema fields, queryable and enforceable in workflow.Rights management is a first class object, not a tag. Model release, talent expiry, and market exclusion need their own model with start and end dates, and a workflow

We are interested in finding solutions to expose video content stored in an external file store like Azure storage through a common experience like Content Hub. Is something like this possible today or on a development roadmap? Additionally, do teams store native video assets in AEM Assets aaCS for this purpose?What other creative ways are teams storing and sharing video assets that we could consider adopting?

I’m trying to run a user login reports for Assets but don’t see an option for one. I was able to run one for the Brand Portal but have not been able to find one in Assets. Any idea if it exists and/or where I can find it?

I’m looking for more details about the custom action button that can be created in Content Hub. I recall there was some information shared about adding a custom action button to the asset card. I’ve attached a screenshot showing where these buttons would appear. Does anyone have more information on this? I checked Experience League for resources but wasn’t able to find much. 

We're doing a POC for a multi-tenant SaaS application that integrates with Adobe Experience Manager as a Cloud Service to enable bulk asset import functionality. Our application uses OAuth Web App authentication to access the AEM Assets Author API on behalf of authenticated users.Core Requirement:Our application needs to:Browse AEM folder structures List assets within selected folders Retrieve asset metadata (title, description, tags) Download original asset binariesCurrent Setup (Successfully Completed):✅ OAuth Web App credential configured in Adobe Developer Console ✅ Scopes: openid, AdobeID, aem.assets.author, aem.folders ✅ Client ID allowlisted via api.yaml deployed through Cloud Manager Config Pipeline ✅ User assigned to "AEM Assets Collaborator Users" Product Profile with "AEM Assets API Users" service enabled ✅ OAuth authentication flow working (successfully obtaining access tokens) ✅ Able to list folders using: GET /adobe/folders Issue - Unable to List Assets:adobe/assets?limit

I have a requirement for bulk metadata schema creation in AEM Assets using a CSV file, and I’m looking for suggestions or recommended approaches.Currently, I know the manual process for creating a custom metadata schema:Go to Projects.html Open Adobe Experience Manager Navigate to Tools -> Assets Open Metadata Schema Select the Default schema and click Edit Add fields/tabs/properties manually in the metadata formThis approach works for a small number of schemas, but in my requirement we receive metadata definitions through a CSV file containing many fields and schema configurations.Requirement:Create multiple custom metadata schemas in bulk Reuse or extend the Default metadata schema Add new tabs and additional metadata properties dynamically Preferably automate through code instead of manual UI configurationNote: we cannot use any feature provided by ACS commons, how to create custom utility for bulk creation.Any suggestions, best practices, or Adobe-recommended approaches would be

Hello! I’m a researcher on Adobe’s Design Research & Strategy team. I am looking for participants who work with digital content and assets directly in AEM or other enterprise-level CMS platforms. Specifically, we want to speak with people who are creating, reviewing, and/or managing digital content themselves. We seek to learn more about how you create, review, or manage content, what friction points, if any, you experience, and how you might be leveraging AI to assist with your work.  Importantly, the design team also wants to get feedback on a new experience they’re considering building. If you think you’d be a good fit, reply here (please @ me so I’m notified) or email me at lauber@adobe.com 

Hi ,  looking for guidance on a Scene7 + asset publish flow.We have a custom workflow where:We programmatically trigger the Scene7 workflow to generate renditions.Once processing appears complete, we publish the asset.After publish, we call an API on the Publish instance to retrieve asset details.Since Scene7 processing is asynchronous, we added an event listener to monitor the Scene7 status as publishComplete , before triggering publish.However, we are still seeing inconsistent API responses from Publish, which makes us think there may be a timing/replication/indexing/cache gap somewhere in the flow.One recurring issue we’ve observed:The asset shows “Publish Complete” status on AuthorBut the same asset appears with “ReprocessStart” status on PublishWe’re trying to understand why this discrepancy occurs and what the recommended integration pattern is for ensuring Scene7 processing is truly complete before publish/API consumption. We have already enabled the OOTB Scene7ActivationJobCons
