Digital Juice®, the highly acclaimed developer of digital content and professional camera gear and accessories, today announced the release of Animated Shoulder Sets™, an all-new line of easy-to-use downloadable projects and templates for Adobe After Effects and Premiere Pro, Apple Final Cut Pro and Motion and Sony Vegas Pro. The new Shoulder Sets product line features animated “virtual sets” or environments specifically designed to display a video screen area and a green-screen “keyed” presenter in a stylish, exciting way.

Each collection has 10 unique template sets that will seamlessly work directly in any one of the five supported host applications. “To make sure you wouldn’t have any compatibility issues, we only used the native effects and features that are already built into your editing or motion graphics application,” says David Hebel, CEO of Digital Juice. “Getting started is as simple as loading a project into your editor and then adding your video clips. Each set comes with a matching animated background, animated frame and a revealer/wipe animation to help transition between video segments. Combining these elements can deliver a highly polished professional look.”

Unlike the ready2go Projects & Templates and Toxic Templates product lines that feature complex layers and multiple segments per template, the new Animated Shoulder Sets templates offer the same complex sophisticated look in a simpler streamlined design that may only contain one or two video and text segments, uniquely designed to act as a virtual environment for your keyed talent. “We've engineered these templates so that they are easy for you to produce what you need for your production, without the extra technical infrastructure that comes with heavier, more complicated project files,” says Hebel.

In the new Animated Shoulder Sets™ Collection 1, users will find a unique collection of virtual sets that are powerfully simple and that push the limits of cutting-edge style, while still remaining exceptionally intuitive and easy to use — even for beginners. It's incredibly easy to use the Animated Shoulder Sets projects as-is or you can take them apart and add your own look and feel. Whether you want to turn off a layer, change fonts, swap backgrounds or increase the timing, it's in your complete control. In addition, each set is designed to seamlessly loop for as long as you need. You can also seamlessly chain together an infinite number of segments for a production that is as long as you need it to be, using the built-in matching animated revealer and wipe elements.

Another major difference between the new Animated Shoulder Sets™ product line and its big brothers, the ready2go Projects & Templates and Toxic Templates, is the fact that you can choose to purchase and download individual projects as opposed to having to buy an entire collection. This is especially handy for an editor or artist who is working on a budget with a deadline who needs a specific look immediately.

Animated Shoulder Sets™ projects and templates can be used in everything from high-tech show opens, wedding videos and network show promos to broadcast television commercials, corporate presentations, sports highlights reels and training material.
