Spin Sets

Upload your images for multiple views.

At minimum, you need 8–12 shots of an item for a one-dimensional Spin Set and 16–24 for a two-dimensional Spin Set. The shots must be taken at regular intervals to give the impression that the item is rotating and being flipped. For example, if a one-dimensional Spin Set includes 12 shots, rotate the item 30 degrees (360/12) for each shot.

Create Spin Sets.

To create a Spin Set, select Create > Spin Set and then name the set, choose the assets, and choose the order the images appear.

See Working with Selectors.

Set up Spin Set Viewer presets, as needed.

Administrators can create or modify Spin Set Viewer Presets. To see your spin set with a viewer preset, select the spin set, and in the left-rail drop-down menu, select Viewers.

See Tools > Assets > Viewer Presets to create or edit viewer presets.

See Adding and editing viewer presets.

Viewing Spin Sets.

If you have Feature Pack 14410 installed, you can view and access sets created via batch set presets in three different ways. (Sets created using batch set presets, do not appear in the user interface.)

Preview Spin Sets.

Select the Spin Set and you can preview it. Rotate the Spin Set. You can choose different viewers from the Viewers menu, available from the left rail drop-down menu.

Publish Spin Sets.

Publishing a Spin Set activates the URL and Embed string. In addition, you must publish the viewer preset or image preset.

Link URLs to your Web Application or Embed the Video or Image Viewer. 

AEM Assets creates URL calls for Spin Sets and activates them after you publish the spin sets. You can copy these URLs when you preview assets. Alternatively you can embed them on your web site.

Select the Spin Set, then in the left rail drop-down menu, select Viewers.

See Linking a Spin Set to a web page and Embedding the Video or Image Viewer.

In Assets, navigate to where you want to create a spin set, click Create, and select Spin Set. You can also create the set from inside a folder that contains your assets. The Spin Set Editor displays.

In the Spin Set Editor, select the Properties (cog) icon. In Title, enter a name for the Spin Set. The name appears in the banner across the Spin Set. Optionally, enter a description.

Tap or click the the Asset Selector to select assets that you want to include in your Spin Set. Select them and click Select.

With the Asset Selector, you can search for assets by typing in a keyword and tapping or clicking Return. You can also apply filters to refine your search results. You can filter by path, collection, file type, and tag. Select the filter and then click/tap the Filter icon from the toolbar. Change the view by selecting the View icon and selecting list, column or card view.

See Working with Selectors.

When you add assets to your set, they are automatically added in alphanumeric order. You can manually re-order or sort assets after they have been added.

Re-order the images by dragging them up or down the list (must select the reorder icon), as necessary.

If you want to add thumbnails, click the + thumbnail icon next to the image and navigate to the thumbnail you want. When done selecting all the thumbnail images click Save.

To delete an image, select the corresponding check box and click Delete Asset. 

To apply a preset, tap or click Preset in the upper right corner and select a preset to apply to the assets.

Click Save. AEM Assets displays a confirmation that your Spin Set was created. Click OK. Your newly created Spin Set appears in the folder you created it in.

When opening the properties of an individual asset. Properties indicate what sets the selected asset is a member of (under Member of Sets). Click the name of the set to see the entire set.

From a member image of any set. Select the Sets menu to display the sets that the asset is a member of. 

From search, you can Select Filters, then expand Dynamic Media and select Sets.

The search returns matching sets that were manually created in the UI or automatically created through batch set presets. For automated sets, the search query is conducted using "Starts with" search criteria which is different from AEM search which is based on using "Contains" search criteria.  Setting the filter to Sets is the the only way to search automated sets.

In the Spin Set, click or tap Edit, or select the asset using the selector and click the Pencil icon. The Spin Set Editor opens. 

To edit the images in the Spin Set, do any of the following:

• To reorder images, drag an image to a new location (select the reorder icon to move items).
• To add an asset or update an existing asset, click Add Asset. Select the asset to be added or updated and click Next. The cell is updated with the selected asset. Note: If you delete the image that AEM uses for the thumbnail by replacing it with another image, the original asset still displays. 
• To delete an asset, select it and click or tap Delete Asset.
• To apply a preset, tap or click the Preset icon and select a preset.

• To sort items in ascending or descending order, click the column heading.

Click Save when done editing.
