The smart crop feature is specific to AEM Dynamic media, and renditions
are pulled directly from the DM cloud. Under CRX, the asset metadata
would not show smart crop renditions. For generating the smart crop URL
for an asset, apply the processing profile[0] on the folder first and
then upload assets. Once assets are processed under the Renditions
section, you'll see the Smart Crop option, and if the asset is
published, the option to generate the URL will show up. [0]
