In my last post, we spoke about Access Control. With Cloudinary’s digital asset management (DAM) solution, you can, with just a few keystrokes from your Cloudinary dashboard, perform advanced search on the media assets (images and videos) you’ve uploaded to the Media Library and retrieve the ones you desire. This article shows you how.

You can create animations with HTML5 by combining HTML, CSS, and JavaScript (JS), with which you can build shapes. Also, you can control animations and edit images, video, and audio by means of JS or CSS elements, all of which you then add to a drawing board, which you set up with the <canvas>
element.

Angular is a popular open-source framework that offers a simplified process for building web applications. The framework is based on TypeScript, a superset of JavaScript—with additional features like static typing, interfaces, and classes—that promotes component-based development, ensuring that components are decoupled and easily reusable.

In my last post, we spoke about AI-Based Content Analysis. Now, given the importance of security and privacy, authentication is at the heart of virtually all software. Access control is the layer on top of authentication that determines who can access what. Why is access control necessary? Because within most organizations nowadays is a multitude of digital assets stored in various folders, and functional teams need access to some of those assets to do their work even though their access to private assets must be restricted. Complexity arises as a result, especially during cross-functional collaboration among developers and other teams.

Of late, we’ve seen an increasing number of Cloudinary customers on Shopify and Shopify Plus. Since we first wrote about using Cloudinary with Shopify a while ago, both Shopify and Cloudinary have evolved to better support customers through advancements in our platforms. This post highlights three important areas in which you can integrate Cloudinary’s latest technology and tools with Shopify to accomplish the following tasks:

Reformation is a Los Angeles-based fashion brand that designs and sells sustainable, eco-friendly women's apparel and accessories in a small fraction of the time that more traditional fashion houses take. And while the company runs several brick-and-mortar stores across the United States, its business is conducted mostly online, with over half of its visitors accessing its content on mobile. A major challenge Reformation faced was how to display images and videos optimally for every user and device. Enter Cloudinary.

Companies across all industries rely on images to tell stories, connect with audiences and sell products. In many ways, it’s never been easier to connect directly with consumers. On the other hand, more content, channels and devices creates a complex web of new hurdles and headaches. Brands are under intense pressure to not just deliver compelling visual stories and immersive and personalized experiences, but to do so at lightning speed and volumes that just a few years ago would have been impossible. Marketers understand that visual content boosts engagement and sales. The question is how can I produce more visual-rich content faster and everywhere my audiences are engaging.

Part of what draws us to retail stores is their ability to connect to our senses: sight, touch, hearing, and smell. Connections that extend beyond products include decor and store employees. When transforming the experience into online shopping, these natural senses are substituted with a sense of the virtual experience.
