The Digizuite Extension for Optimizely Experimentation consists of two elements. Not both elements are needed but together they can bring a better experience.
The two elements
The Digizuite Browser Extension for asset selection (optional)
Find it here: DCE 5.5 - Installation
The actual Extension (a config.json) which can be directly imported into Optimizely Experimentation via the editor (https://github.com/Digizuite/embedded-ui-examples/tree/main/digizuite-optimizely-experimentation )
Prerequisites
Following must be in place:
CDN:
This functionality should be used in conjunction with a CDN since we are talking about potential high consumption from the website.Public Destination for assets to be streamed from (out of box 10016 is used but you must add a profile)
(have in mind that for crop to work then it requires 5.6.0 but rest of the functionality will still be valid)

Manually entering the ID
