Our designers love working with Sketch while designing our DAM and widgets UI. Due to that - we created a direct integration, native to Sketch, allowing them to use Sketch and Cloudinary seamlessly. This integration allows you to **Insert Assets** from Cloudinary’s DAM to Sketch (can be done on multiple assets in parallel) using Public ID and/or using Search, **Upload from Sketch to DAM** (alongside our upload preset features), and more.

Make sure you deliver your video with the most fitting quality in every situation using Cloudinary's intelligent quality and encoding algorithm. The algorithm analyses each video to decide on the optimal encoding characteristics that will produce the best visual quality while minimizing the file size. The quality transformation parameter can be set to auto (q_auto in URLs) in order to perform automatic quality encoding. Further control of the automatic quality selection is supported as well.
