🎯 Cloudinary Integration

All images and videos are served through Cloudinary's CDN using the demo cloud (demo) and cloudinary-res cloud for training videos. All media transformations are applied on-the-fly using URL parameters:

// Example: Circular testimonial image with face detection
const imageUrl = `https://res.cloudinary.com/demo/image/upload/c_thumb,g_face,h_300,w_300/e_sharpen:80/r_max/f_auto/q_auto/business_woman_laptop.jpg`

// Example: Video with trimming and padding
const videoUrl = `https://cloudinary-res.cloudinary.com/video/upload/so_133,eo_147/c_pad,h_400,w_600,b_rgb:d4a520/f_auto/q_auto/training/Uploading_Images_Videos_in_Laravel_with_Cloudinary-.mp4`

Implementation Highlights:

  1. CC0 Licensed Media - All assets from Cloudinary demo account
  2. AI-Powered Cropping - Face detection for perfect portraits
  3. Video Trimming - Extract specific time ranges (e.g., seconds 133-147)
  4. Aspect Ratio Control - Padding with custom background colors
  5. Automatic Optimization - Format and quality selected per device
