Media processing use cases
This section illustrates media processing best practices with concrete use cases.
Use case 1
As a Sitecore Content Hub external agency user, I want a downloadable, high-resolution rendition to use in my local design applications, so I can deliver it to my client as a banner for their next marketing campaign.
Proposed solution:
-
In the Image flow, create a high-resolution JPEG, 16:9, 3400x2200 rendition, and save the link as new.
-
In the Vector flow, create a high-resolution PNG, no background, 16:9, 3400x2200 rendition.
Use case 2
As a Content Hub Digital Asset Management (DAM) user, I want a downloadable, low-resolution rendition for stock images or brand photography, stored in DAM for use in my PowerPoint presentations.
Proposed solution:
The desired resolution is lower than the Preview rendition resolution, so you can create a low-resolution rendition from the Preview rendition.
Use case 3
As a wCMS user, I want different crops available for our website components to embed as a public link in our corporate website and marketing campaign landing pages.

Extending the logic in wCMS automatically adds the transformation query string inside the public link when embedded in specific components or page templates.
Use case 4
As a social media manager, I want a few standard crops available for social media campaigns on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Instagram.
Proposed solution:
Create the following renditions.
|
Platform |
Dimension |
Suffix |
|---|---|---|
|
Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn |
1200x628 |
Social_1200x628 |
|
|
1080x1080 |
IN_1080x1080 |
If there is no integration to a social media management platform, make the renditions downloadable for offline processes.
