00:00.300 --> 00:04.620
In the tools section, we have areas
that are useful for more advanced users.

00:05.480 --> 00:06.880
Transformation templates.

00:06.940 --> 00:10.420
This is the area where you can create
predefined transformations for images.

00:14.680 --> 00:18.760
When you create a new template, you need to
set a friendly name, which is how it appears

00:18.800 --> 00:24.000
in the UI, and the template name, and this is
used to refer to the template in the URL you

00:24.080 --> 00:25.250
use with dynamic imaging.

00:26.090 --> 00:30.740
You also have some of the mo- more commonly
used presets such as image scaling.

00:30.820 --> 00:35.080
Now, if you add the scale preset, it
automatically adds the commands to scale an

00:35.160 --> 00:39.980
image, and it allows you to choose width
and height and maintain aspect ratio.

00:41.330 --> 00:45.800
There are also advanced options, and you can
add your own transformation parameters by

00:45.840 --> 00:47.820
adding them in the box.

00:49.460 --> 00:53.810
In the processing job section, you'll find any
custom scripts that have been provisioned to

00:53.840 --> 00:56.300
your account.
This could include set

00:56.340 --> 00:58.020
creation or metadata scripts.

01:00.460 --> 01:04.190
And from this section, you can either
update, delete, or run these scripts.

01:05.140 --> 01:07.480
Let's look at the video
transcoding profiles section.

01:08.320 --> 01:12.440
Now, you can set up video transcoding profiles
that would be created on ingestion of a video.

01:13.220 --> 01:17.810
Now, this allows the most appropriate video
profile to be chosen dynamically to play back

01:17.840 --> 01:22.940
video on a particular device, and you can
create new profiles, but we will generally set

01:22.980 --> 01:26.960
up the most commonly used profiles
for, for your account as standard.

01:27.440 --> 01:29.660
Let's look at the upload connectors section.

01:30.370 --> 01:35.820
When connecting your account to an SFTP
location to bulk upload assets, you would come

01:35.880 --> 01:38.700
here to set up an SFTP connector.

01:38.720 --> 01:43.720
This allows you to create a direct connection
to an SFTP folder using your server domain and

01:43.780 --> 01:49.560
login details.
Let's look at the, bulk upload section.

01:50.880 --> 01:55.140
This FTP connector will then, then
be connected to a bulk upload.

01:55.780 --> 02:00.900
Now, bulk upload will allow you to automate
various processes within upload, most commonly

02:00.910 --> 02:05.470
asset ingestion.
So here, all of the images that are put into

02:05.500 --> 02:09.940
your SFTP folder will be automatically
uploaded to Amplience on an hourly basis.

02:10.640 --> 02:13.580
Now, this process is generally set
up at the beginning of a project.

02:15.700 --> 02:18.840
In the activity queues section, it
will show the various processes that

02:18.860 --> 02:20.020
are running on an account.

02:21.060 --> 02:24.440
For each process, you can log and reset a job.

02:24.660 --> 02:29.180
Now, usually the reset job, function
is grayed out, because that's generally

02:29.260 --> 02:33.650
done by our ops team.
You'll see that each job has a green tick by

02:33.720 --> 02:38.340
it indicating that it's been successfully
processed, or it's got an error icon if

02:38.380 --> 02:39.380
there's a problem.

02:40.440 --> 02:49.260
On

02:49.280 --> 02:52.660
the right-hand side in content
hub, there's also a workspace area.

02:53.300 --> 02:56.180
This is an area where you can
create media assets and spin sets,

02:56.560 --> 02:58.560
localizations, and media shares.

02:59.400 --> 03:04.240
Media share is an easy-to-use and secure way
of sharing any media stored in Amplience.

03:05.360 --> 03:07.300
So let's say we want to share these images.

03:07.980 --> 03:11.920
We'll drag them into the workspace and
then choose media share from the actions.

03:12.820 --> 03:16.560
This brings up a sharing screen in which
we'll enter a title for the assets.

03:18.240 --> 03:22.440
In this case, we'll call it Images to Share,
and the company name we're sharing from, in

03:22.480 --> 03:23.480
this case, Amplience.

03:29.020 --> 03:35.800
We set the number of days to share it for, up
to 31, and then click Generate to create a URL

03:35.820 --> 03:37.880
to give to those people I
want to share the assets with.

03:38.420 --> 03:45.340
And this is

03:45.380 --> 03:49.520
what the sharing page will look like, and it
makes it easier for somebody else to download

03:49.560 --> 03:56.500
the assets.
Also in content hub, there's a user

03:56.540 --> 03:59.560
management section.
This is the area where a user can change their

03:59.600 --> 04:03.980
password, create locales, access
the documentation hub, and log out.

04:04.760 --> 04:08.200
Now, if you're an admin user, you'll have
more options to manage the users that you're

04:08.220 --> 04:09.940
responsible for.

04:12.580 --> 04:17.120
There are several apps available in Amplience
to manage your assets, create content, or make

04:17.180 --> 04:19.060
use of features such as point of interest.

04:20.329 --> 04:24.140
These are accessed by clicking the apps
icon, which shows the available apps in the

04:24.180 --> 04:25.960
left-hand side of the content hub window.

04:26.660 --> 04:30.740
This area will be populated with all the apps
that the account has been provisioned with,

04:31.080 --> 04:34.250
such as point of interest, product
customization, and media share.

04:36.920 --> 04:41.400
Point of interest is used to add a focal point
and hotspots to an image, and the account app

04:41.440 --> 04:43.600
is used to set up virtual staging environments
