Style: Digital Juice Jump Backs come in slim DVD cases. Each case is held inside of a side load DVD sleeve cover. I did not expect much beyond the animations when purchasing Digital Juice Jump Backs. It was nice to find out that customers get access to expended support and updates for their Digital Juice products. When purchasing Digital Juice Jump Backs, you can preview them quickly without using a computer. Each DVD lists still images of every video animation included in that volume.
Quality: Digital Juice Jump Backs are available in SD and HD formats. The animations are loopable and NTSC compatible. After purchasing a volume of Digital Juice Jump Backs, I noticed that they can be converted into almost any video format. That provides a lot of flexibility for video editors. You can produce a video for television or DVD using standard 4:3 aspect ratio settings or optimize the animations for internet viewing.
The only catch is that you have to download a special program that converts these animations. It is called the “Juicer” and helps editors modify animations to their liking for specific needs. You can change the color, size, format and many other aspects of Digital Juice Jump Backs using this Juicer program. I did not like the fact that Digital Juice Jump Backs take up a lot of memory and space depending on where it is used. It can cause your computer to operate slowly if it does not have a lot of power to run video applications. An upside to using Digital Juice Jump Backs is that you can preview animations through an internet connection.
You never have to save these animations to your computer unless it is necessary to preview modifications. Even then, Digital Juice Jump Backs are only saved as previews. This can save a lot of space on your computer hard drives. Working with Digital Juice Jump Backs is not difficult after using them frequently. Since the complete animations are not saved on a computer, I have to insert my DVD volumes to save modified animations or new video files. The Juicer will notify you on every step that needs to be taken for completion of your project. This can either be handy or very convenient depending on your perspective.
Price: Digital Juice Jump Backs used to cost $49.95 before they went on sale. The SD versions are now retired. Jump Back animations are now sold in HD format until they retire as well. It may not be easy to purchase these royalty free animations without permission from the company. While I purchased one of the discounted animation volumes, certain Digital Juice Jump Backs may still be available upon special request. That information can only be found by contacting the company. Other products similar to Jump Backs are on sale between $99 and $249.
Verdict: Digital Juice Jump Backs are great products that can be used for corporate, commercial and personal video projects. They provide a more stylish looking presentation and can save you a lot of time. These video animations make it easier to complete video projects without having to create new effects manually. They can be pricey but are worth the purchase. Video professionals who use this product should make sure to put them on a computer than can play animations with ease.
