Create video from WPF / Silverlight animations

Question

I have an animation written in XAML. I need to create a video (AVI) from this animation. Is there any way to do this?

Answer 1

Here's how to do it for WPF (i.e. not Silverlight)

If you have an Expression Encoder, you can do the following:

• Create an empty movie with as many frames as your animation (you can change the length later if you make a mistake)
• Use the XAML Animation overlay option to add XAML-based animations
• Extract animation to WMV
• WMV AVI ( )

Silverlight :

• WriteableBitmap;
• .jpg ImageTools Silverlight;
• ;
• FFmpeg.exe( Silverlight) .

.exe, .jpg( ) "Process.Start" ; Silverlight.

Since ImageTools is not very fast, I had to resort to saving each image as .bmp and have libjpeg-turbo to convert them to .jpg.
