JUXtapose Episode 1: Simple Animation Using Expression Blend

[JohnnyBoyCali]

I hate tutorials like this where they explain a project thats already done and you're supposed to just watch. Why cant these people realize that people need to follow along , pausing the video and trying to recreate the project. When you already stasrt with a project that has 100 "layers" how are people supposed to follow along and learn?

nice :)

This is also the technology that you use to build applications that will run in all browers, from the desktop of a Mac or PC, and on the new Windows Phone 7.

So what exactly does this do over SVG or Flash that makes it worth learning?

[shalvius]

thanks!

[beugnen]

@jeffblankenburg great video, you explain things quite well and well spoken. keep it up! :D

[bobsonenzo]

which is better flash or this?

[XENTIYON]

hey man, nicely done !!

but i have a question, I have no background knowledge about these programs, and I created a very simple animation, and I just want to create a wmv or something playable out of it.

I have Expression Encoder as well, so is it possible ??

[oOSLEEPAHOo]

expression encoder will convert you video into a wmv :D

[Hacker2090]

yes its very possible and its easy ...look thats what u will do :u will add an existing item and choose the media file u want to add to your project and as you add it a storyboard will be created for it which allows you to control when it starts and when it stops....if u need any help just ask....

[polaco147]

Is it a WPF Application?... Silverlight 1 site or Silverlight 2 application?

:S I cant see my animation on the browser..

I can't understand what happened!!!

[mikesherps]

Its a wpf application but the animation/design is done in blend.

Search XAML or Expression Blend for more info

[polaco147]

i have a question..

When I do the animation. and I test my application...

the figuro dont move... is there any properties for set?... like autoplay?

help me pls.!! I see the animation in the Expression blend but in the browser I can't

[sweettinkerbellxoxo]

[ToMihok]

Awesome vid, gonna try it right away ;)

[gniziemazity]

i prefer flash.

[jeffblankenburg]

I'd love to start a conversation with you...what is it about Flash that you prefer?

[gniziemazity]

i'm in the 12'th grade, and my school joined a project in which we get allot of microsoft's programs for free, including expression blend. I noticed many things that i didn't like about this... i didn't like that part where you zoom in to align that "almost" perfect, so the rotation will go alright. I think flash has also a more... easy to use environment, i used it since the much more early versions, and did many complex projects in it without help from other people, just by "playing" with it.

dont lie mother fucker

[bluzane]

dont lie son of a bitch

[SombraBlade]

You know, the video maker might not have been an expert on the program either. Although he looks very familiar to it D=

[nickholai]

thats expression blend 1.0?? i'd like to make an animation and put it on a web application from vs2005, but i don't know how to, in flash is creating an object tag and indexing de swf archive, and i can see a flash animation in my web aplication, how do i do the samen with EB1.0 and VS2005 ?? i've heard something about that XAML and XBAP are involved

[bobsonenzo]

@jeffblankenburg lol flash vs silverlight

[zougoulogo]

@jeffblankenburg The Super Hero Name :)

[contrist0]

@jeffblankenburg awkward 3 year silence...

[AdrianoDhou]

You rock, man!

I'm actually being trained by this guy from Microsoft on working with Blend. He's really good, but I kinda wish you'd train me!!

[mmt829]

That is an amazing program.
