Digital Juice® has announced the release of Animated Canvases™ Collection 12: Great Expectations, available as either an Instant Download or boxed DVD product. Animated Canvases are subtle background animations that are designed to be the foundation for any video or motion graphics project. In this new collection, video editors and motion graphics designers will find a unique mix of subtle animated backgrounds specifically designed to give editors a clean slate to build on, a backdrop that can help them highlight and frame their text, videos and images. 
“We believe the soul of every presentation or production is defined by its background,” says David Hebel, CEO of Digital Juice. “These 43 backgrounds, in HD and SD resolutions, offer a subtle yet exciting mix of animated light, color and texture that creates a perfect backdrop for everything from product promos, wedding videos and network logo spots to corporate presentations, DVD menus and more!”
In the all-new Animated Canvases Collection 12: Great Expectations, users will find a variety of styles, colors and textures ranging from a slow moving camera that gently pans over the magical keys of a player piano, to a bright particle-lit sky that is raining Christmas gifts, trees and ornaments, and from a dark and surreal night scene illuminated by a pair of fiery wall-mounted lamps to a forest of trees, bare against an autumn sky – to name just a few of the many useful and creative looks in this package. All of the designs feature an artistic use of color, form and motion that makes them interesting and attractive to look at on their own, yet subtle enough not to overpower any text, video or images an editor may add to communicate a message to his or her audience.
Users will find 43 pre-rendered SD and HD animated QuickTime files in Animated Canvases Collection 12: Great Expectations. The average length of an animation in this collection is 15 seconds and the format is compatible with all non-linear editing tools on both Mac and Windows platforms. “By using these subtle background animations, you can steer your project in the right direction, allowing it to meet your expectations while maintaining the professional, sophisticated feel you demand,” says Hebel. “Animated Canvases provide an environment that enhances your video and text and makes your material stand out.”
