http://www. artbeats.com (excellent)
http://www.dvanimation.com (OK, good for the low budget)

The problem with all three libes you point out above is that because they are so cheap, you'll see them everywhere. Be cautious of that when doing work for broadcast, because you'll inevitably duplicate by accident. Composite various formats together....and make it original.
Personally, while Juice has some nice stuff, the whole Juicer concept is stupid, IMO. Rendering twice is goofy.

Hi, good points re compositing, will do to keep it original.

Agree re need for multiple renders via Juicer isn't user friendly, I think from what I get on their msg board it's an anti-piracy measure .. eg making you read from the original disc then rendering ... instead of direct from HD which would be faster... or just having the avis/movs/vobs available..

Digital Juice Tech Support told me to use 'Rosoft CD Extractor' and extract the tracks to .mp3 or .wav. to avoid having to use the Juicer. You just load the CD and tell it the directory to extract to. We do this because we have a Media Server on a network so you can get it from whatever station you are on. This helps our Video, Web, and Print guys to be more efficient. If we are working on a package everyone has immediate access to the same files.

Its amazing what you can do yourself withour spending a penny, maybe not as good as some of the pro stuff but look around you in nature, closeups of many things that have a bit of motion can be very useful. I got some great closeups of a pool full of Koi in a feeding frenzy, lots of stuff like that is our there for the asking and you know it's going to be original. I've used closeups of sand blowing on a dune in transisitions also.
I've had good mileage out of the Vision series as well, they render out very well.

Try www.easymotion.com.

Nice clips that also include 3D objects (not just swirling colors) and very inexpensive compared to digitaljuice (of which I have 11 volumes plus Editor's toolkit).

I love the Chienworks* site personally. Lots of masks and other nifty backgrounds & animations. The store's site is:
