AUReMIX07 Silverlight Video
Watch the video here of Frank Arrigo and Monique Eagles here. Yes, you will need to install Silverlight.
This is my first experiment with Silverlight and the Microsoft Expression set of tools. Using the inbuilt players in Media Encoder saved many days/hours of hand coding; yet I am sure there is more in there that will tickle out over coming weeks.
NOTE: Silverlight 1.1 is alpha-release!
Workflow (all on Vista Ultimate):
- Edited footage in Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0
- Export Sequence from Premiere Pro using Adobe Media Encoder 960×720 WMV9/WMA9, very light compression.
- Import into Microsoft Expression Media Encoder (May preview)
- Export footage as VC-1 Web Server High Speed (using a normal web server). This setting is 640×480. Obviously, I could compress this more.
- Edit the Default.html to correctly reference EmePlayer.js (note: this got me for an hour. Linux web servers are case-sensitive, and the Default.html points to emeplayer.js. 404! Bug reported)
- FTP files to directory onto nickhodge.com (could have used Expression Web, but I was debugging the problem with upper/lower case file naming above)
Thoughts? Comments? I only have Silverlight 1.1 alpha installed. I’ve tested in Windows IE/FireFox and MacOS X 10.4 Safari/Firefox. The Mac’s audio might be out-of-sync. Again, this is reported.
