Digital Juice® announced today that it is releasing ready2go™ Projects & Templates for Adobe After Effects® Collection 11. ready2go projects are animated template graphics that provide After Effects users with a variety of professional finished looks, and feature expertly designed “drop zones” for text and video. The looks in this collection are multipurpose in nature, making them perfect for a wide range of projects from wedding videos, business presentations and network show promos to broadcast television commercial spots, sports highlights reels and training material.

“One of the things that sets ready2go Projects & Templates apart from what other content providers produce is that Digital Juice includes multiple “edit friendly” segments with each project,” says David Hebel, CEO of Digital Juice. “After Effects artists can build their own version of the project by placing an infinite series of edit-friendly text and video segments on their timeline to create the desired length and sequence. Each segment is also extendable up to 15 seconds and includes matching wipes and sound effects to help you transition between segments smoothly.”

In ready2go™ Projects & Templates for Adobe After Effects® Collection 11, you will find over 80 unique project files ranging from grungy frames suspended on chains to a virtual high-tech set complete with circuit boards and sound bars and from a brightly lit movie marquee to a Tron-style digital cityscape – to name just a few of the many creative looks in this collection. “These projects provide you the variety you need for any type of production, while still offering you the chance to create more looks with further customization.” says Hebel. “Replacing footage and editing text is very easy even for a beginner plus, depending on your comfort level with After Effects, you can literally change every aspect of the look and feel from timing and coloring to backgrounds, transitions and fonts used.”

Feature Highlights

• Over 80 different projects, including alternate camera motions and additional animated content, provide a wide variety of looks to handle most types of productions.
• Complete customization with the ability to take projects apart, change colors and fonts, add your own elements, turn on and off layers or adjust timing.
• Edit-friendly segments provided for the full length project templates make the task of customizing the projects even easier than before.

Browse, Search & Select
Digital Juice® provides a free Windows® and Mac® utility, Juicer™ 3, that makes it easy to browse, search, and select from any of the ready2go™ Projects & Templates for After Effects Collections. Once a project is selected the user has the ability to set the resolution and then collect and send all or select project elements to After Effects®.
