Motion Backs are animated graphics in the style of Jump Backs, but significantly cheaper in price. As the “little brother” of the Jumps Backs, Motion Backs were developed primarily for customers who have to manage their productions with a tighter budget. The 20 animations on each volume are each eight seconds long and can be looped seamlessly. The Motion Backs are provided as uncompressed PNG sequences and can be converted with the included “Juicer” into almost any other format and the codec required by the compositing/editing system. “The Juicer” is included with every collection and is compatible with both Mac and Windows. The program converts to PAL or NTSC and to the required codec. Features such as batch processing, a preview gallery and coloring functions are integrated into the Juicer. The Motion Back collections are available from 115 euros.
