Tumblr has a very nice series of animations that happens when you enter the compose mode. I thought it would be interesting to recreate this in Proto.io to show others how to achieve these kind of effect in their own protototypes. I have made a companion tutorial video where you can see exactly how I did it. This video is available here: http://docs.proto.io/videos/recreating-tumblr-compose-animations-in-proto-io/

Using color adjustment and filters, I've simulated the iOS spotlight animation. Learn how you can apply these filters at https://proto.io/en/new-features/adjustments-filters/

If you need to get the Y position of a vertically scrolling container, create a text box. Then on the container scroll trigger, set a variable that evaluates the numerical callback value from the event (Y position). Then add a callback that changes the text property of the text box by reading from the variable.

Here is the set of prototypes from the Pro Tips and Tricks webinar: 1) Propagate Events to Items Below 2) Containers as Symbols 3) Conditional Animation 4) Screen Interaction 5) Sketches into Prototype Here is the video of the webinar: http://docs.proto.io/videos/pro-tips-tricks/ The video is broken down with time-codes on Vimeo here: https://vimeo.com/103316955 (under read more) They are also below.

This is prototype was created for the Net magazine article "Design Prototypes That Reel Real - with Proto.io. It includes a step-by-step written tutorial with screenshots here: http://www.creativebloq.com/web-design/design-prototypes-feel-real-protoio-21619311 It's a product concept for juxtaposing two photos and typing a caption about the connection between them. It should look like this. The tutorial starts with bringing in a range of external assets. Then it'll show how to design assets and customize native components within the tool. Interactions will be triggered by gestures, keyboard input, and automatically as the prototype loads, then choreographed along an animation timeline. Enjoy...

Animated storyboard using low fidelity assets created in Proto.io, and icons found within the Proto.io library and Noun Project. The "On Screen Show" screen interaction is used to animate the content through a sequence of callbacks. See how this was made step-by-step in this webinar video on Low Fidelity prototyping: http://docs.proto.io/videos/low-fidelity-prototyping-with-proto-io/ TAGS: storyboard low fidelity auto-play
