Import a Silverlight 1.0 site from Expression Encoder 2

This page applies to Silverlight 1 projects only

Microsoft Expression Encoder 2 uses templates to create Microsoft Silverlight 1.0 video experiences by encoding video in a player. The player can be skinned by using a Silverlight 1.0 template. When you encode a job in Expression Encoder 2, a Silverlight 1.0 site is created that you can open and modify in Expression Blend 2.

To import a Silverlight 1.0 site from Expression Encoder 2

  1. In Microsoft Expression Encoder 2, click Import on the File menu, select a video file, and then click Open. The video opens in the viewer pane for editing.

  2. In the Output tab, under Job Output, select a template from the drop-down box next to Template.
