I've used the DigitalJuice jumpbacks for dozens of corporate videos and several personal videos. I use them for opening scenes, titling, composite images (for special effects), as blue (green) screen backgrounds, plus I often run a picture in picture that is smaller with an animated background showing along the edges. This effect helps keep the pace of the video fast, in case you have a testimonial from someone that has something good to say, but comes across stiff.

You can see several samples at www.thevideomaker.com

Click on the "samples" icon at the bottom and select any of the following:

- GE Customer Conference
- Hillcast - VC funding
- Avisys
- GE Product Demo

(these are for distribution and all use royalty free sound from Backtracts)

and even the personal videos like:

- Soccer Video
- New Baby

(These were for my personal use and I only used sound that I pulled from my own purchased CD)

The animated backgrounds add a very professional touch and I highly recommend them.

You can download 5 loops for free every month from MC. At least it is something for you to get started with.

I downloaded the 5 loops from MC, however, I can't play them in Vegas. Vegas will let me import them. It won't, however, let me play or paste them into the timeline. Under "Properties", (Stream Properties), attributes says "stream offline". I had this same problem with some other video that I took off of a new Fuji S7000 digital camera (flash card).

Any suggestions???
