Kobe Release: New DAM Software Features | Orange Logic

The Kobe release from Orange Logic offers a variety of features that elevate how teams interact with digital assets. With new AI-powered tools, enhanced content transformations, accessibility improvements, and seamless integrations, the release simplifies workflows, speeds up content production, and unlocks new use cases, all from a single platform.

Updates are available on all plans and to all Orange Logic customers unless otherwise noted. Below are the highlights; see our release notes for detailed documentation on everything in the release.

Content Transformations

Easily generate multiple image variations directly from the UI or API. Whether cropping, resizing, or changing quality settings, you can now create content tailored to different platforms in seconds. The tool removes the need for graphic design skills, so non-technical teams can produce high-quality content for distribution on multiple channels.

• Available in the UI and API. Work the way your team prefers.
• Dynamic generation. Save time by generating content dynamically without re-uploading new versions.
• CDN integration. Faster delivery and reduced load times.

Reach out to your Customer Success Manager to participate.

Natural Language Processing (NLP)

NLP transforms the search experience in the Orange Logic platform, letting users search assets using everyday language instead of relying on precise keywords. Type "photos with smiling faces" or "branding videos from Q1," and the platform finds what you mean.

NLP goes beyond finding assets, projects, and tasks. It simplifies how content is managed, so users can find assets more intuitively. Explore more in our NLP blog post.

Burned-in Captions

Make your videos more accessible and engaging with burned-in captions, which are especially useful on platforms that don't support closed captions, such as Instagram or TikTok. Teams can embed captions directly into videos, simplifying the video editing process.

• Improved accessibility. Make videos more inclusive for hearing-impaired viewers.
• Seamless workflow. Edit and finalize captions directly in OrangeDAM, with no external video editing tools.
• Platform optimization. Captions stay visible even on platforms that don't support closed captioning formats.
• Faster time to market. Create ready-to-share content without waiting for external teams to add captions.

Common use cases include adding subtitles for international distribution and quickly captioning promotional content for social platforms that don't caption natively.

New Integrations: Expanding Workflows and Productivity
