Video streaming is possible from AEM DAM location?

[Mahesh_Gunaje]

Hi Team,

For serving video from dam, in our component we are using: <source src="${properties.myVideoURL @ context='unsafe'}" type="video/mp4">

Page is taking much time to load the page, because of loading the video from DAM location.

We are not using any video streaming service. So, wanted to check, whether AEM offers streaming service to serve video from DAM ?

Thanks

@Mahesh_Gunaje Dynamic media should be the solution that you are looking for.

@Mahesh_Gunaje ,

Pages will definitely load a lot slower if you are trying to load them directly from AEM DAM. The browser downloads the entire video as if you are downloading any other file(.exe, pdf, zip) etc., as a whole.

It may a load little faster if the pages are loading via CDN(Akamai, CloudFare) and video is also cached at CDN. But, even in this case, the browser loads entire video in single shot instead of in a progressive streaming manner.

Adobe Dynamic Media is the correct solution if you are planning to host and stream videos from AEM DAM.

Not just for Video streaming, Dynamic Media has a lot of other features for images renditions, smart crop etc.,

AEM application is hosted on Adobe Managed service, not on AEMaaCS. 

So, Dynamic media will support in AMS? Need separate license for this feature? 

[Sudheer_Sundalam · Accepted solution]

Dynamic Media will support both AMS and Cloud Hosted AEM servers. Please talk to your account CSE and/or Adobe Account rep about the licensing of Dynamic Media.

You can follow the Dynamic Media setup process here  :https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/experience-manager-65/assets/dynamic/administering-dynamic-m... 

after you obtain the license to use Dynamic Media.

You also need to run your AEM Author servers with "dynamicmedia_scene7" runmode and Adobe Support team will help in setting up Dynamic Media account where your DAM assets (Image and Videos) will be stored with renditions.
