Q:
As you mentioned, it also works with Excel?
A:
Yes, the CI HUB Connector for Microsoft works with the Office Products like:
Powerpoint, Excel, Word, and now Outlook.
It supports the up and download of Images and Templates and storing them back.
Q:
Does it automatically update adobe stock layout images with later licensed images?
A:
Yes. If you are using layout files (Watermarked)’ from Adobe Stock or Getty Images etc. and you later purchase an Image (or Video)
Then you can later download the HighRes or (not Watermarked’) Version of this asset. Using the Link Panel function in CI HUB it happens automatically.
Q:
Do any of these solutions (The Integrations as we call them)charge extra for this functionality? Or is it all included in the price for CI HUB?
A:
In general, the ability to connect to these Integrations is included in the CI HUB Connector pricing.
When you license the CI HUB Connector, you can use all programs and all Integrations at no extra charge.
If you want to connect to a specific Integration, then you have to have the right to do this, and this may come with an extra fee.
For example, you can use the CI HUB Connector to connect to a free Dropbox, but to use Versions or Lock/Unlock assets, you need to have a Dropbox Business. Furthermore, this has a monthly subscription fee. This Fee is not included in the CI HUB Connector. So you need to check this with the vendor of the System you like to connect to.
Q:
How much does it cost?
A:
You will find the information on our website.
Q:
Is it available in XD? If not, when?
A:
As of today, it is not available. For Adobe XD.
However, we plan to release it for Adobe XD, Firma, Sketch, and others.
Q:
is it possible to open a PDF asset from the DAM and then modify it in InDesign?
A:
Yes, you can open a PDF document from the panel and then place it in InDesign, and you can do this with the individual Pages.
However, InDesign has no option to change the PDF in InDesign.
Q:
Is it possible to rename the connection?
A:
Yes, you can rename it at any time.
Q:
Question to Andreas: Will you provide an URL for the asset in InDesign in the future?
A:
CI HUB is already using the URL to relate to an Asset in InDesign.
But we do not rely on this method. The CI HUB Connector works in a much more creative way to identify and link to assets than the URL.
The CI HUB Connector uses a method that is not relying on C++, and we offer the same function in all Adobe Products like Illustrator, Photoshop, Premiere, and After Effects.
Q:
Would you please show CI HUB with Premiere Pro?
A:
Sorry this webinar if to short to cover this, but I love to demo it later or go to https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJP5Oa3bj31DsTjQ0Y540Og you will find more videos about Premiere Pro.
Q:
One license means one seat?
A:
No one Licence means on Person, and you can have up to 3 parallel installations
Q:
Can you please show a little more about metadata editing from within the CC app and CIHUB?
A:
Please refer to https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJP5Oa3bj31DsTjQ0Y540Og
Q:
Any metadata namespaces are supported?
A:
CI HUB can support any Namespace if the connected system is capable of delivering the info via the API. We already support all Custom Types.
