Integration: Shutterstock
Acquia DAM Classic supports two types of integrations with
Shutterstock. Acquia DAM Classic users can use the Shutterstock Search
integration to expand their asset searches to the vast Shutterstock
library. Shutterstock Premier customers can use the integration to have
their Shutterstock assets automatically synced to their
Acquia DAM Classic library.
For example, if you’re looking for photos or video depicting active
lifestyles and wish to expand your search beyond your DAM, you can
easily toggle to the Shutterstock results and pull results from their
database.
The Shutterstock search feature is available for admins, contributors
and regular users. It must first be enabled by your admin before using.

Shutterstock Premier Sync
Shutterstock Premier Sync is available to any Shutterstock Premier

library.

team will work with your Shutterstock account rep to configure the
integration.
Shutterstock Premier sync frequently asked questions
- How long does it take for assets to sync? Sync should be complete
in 15–20 minutes, although thumbnail images and metadata processing
may take a bit longer.
- Where will synced assets be stored? All assets will be synced to
the Premier Content folder. Sync will pull content from your
Download History in Shutterstock; images, creative and footage
can all be imported. Both licensed and comp assets can be synced,
although, based on the nature of comps, we typically do not recommend
clients sync them into Acquia DAM Classic. Please contact Acquia
support to decide what is best for your
workflow and business needs.
- If I have multiple accounts, do I have to sync all of them? No,
you can choose which accounts to sync to Acquia DAM Classic. There
is no limit to the number of Premier accounts you can sync to your
Acquia DAM Classic account.
- If multiple Premier accounts contain duplicate assets, will the
assets be de-duplicated? Duplicate assets are handled based on the
transaction type. Duplicate comp assets will not be synced to your
Premier Content folder. Duplicate licensed assets will be synced,
replacing the current version and creating multiple replications of
the asset.
- Are there restrictions on the size or file types that can be
synced? There are no restrictions on the size of files that can be
synced. Editorial, music and Offset assets cannot be synced.
- Will asset metadata also be synced? Yes, metadata will be
embedded for images and videos. This includes the standard fields,
Rights Usage Terms and the four custom metadata fields that can be
configured within Shutterstock Premier. The custom fields map to
custom fields 17–20 in Acquia DAM.
