Image Sequencer is an example application demonstrating the use of Imaging SDK’s Image Aligner and Gif Renderer APIs for creating cinemagraph-style animations in animated GIF format. The application has a set of hard coded image sequences to be used for basis of the alignment and animation. User can manipulate the animation by limiting the animated area to a small rectangular section, and by stabilizing the images in order to eliminate camera shake. Animations with still backgrounds and minor repeated movement are commonly called cinemagraphs.

Image Sequencer

Image Sequencer is an example application demonstrating the use of Lumia Imaging SDKs Image Aligner and Gif Renderer APIs for creating cinemagraph-style animations in animated GIF format. The application has a set of hard coded image sequences to be used for basis of the alignment and animation. User can manipulate the animation by limiting the animated area to a small rectangular section, and by stabilizing the images in order to eliminate camera shake. Animations with still backgrounds and minor repeated movement are commonly called cinemagraphs.

For more information on implementation visit Lumia Developer's Library: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=528374

Developed with Microsoft Visual Studio Express 2012 for Windows Phone.

Compatible with:

  • Windows Phone 8.1
  • Windows Phone 8.0

Tested to work on:

  • Nokia Lumia 520
  • Nokia Lumia 1020
  • Nokia Lumia 1520

Instructions

Make sure you have the following installed:

  • Windows 8
  • Visual Studio Express 2012 for Windows Phone
  • Nuget 2.7 or later

To build and run the sample in emulator

  1. Open the SLN file: File > Open Project, select the solution (.sln postfix) file for the target (Windows Phone 8.1, Windows Phone 8.0) you want to use.
  2. Select the target 'Emulator' and platform 'x86'.
  3. Press F5 to build the project and run it.

If the project does not compile on the first attempt it's possible that you did not have the required packages yet. With Nuget 2.7 or later the missing packages are fetched automatically when build process is invoked, so try building again. If some packages cannot be found there should be an error stating this in the Output panel in Visual Studio Express.
