The perfect way to begin a production is with an inspiring view of exactly how you want it to look. The subtle backgrounds in Animated Canvases 18: Creative Vistas give you the ideal way to jumpstart your creativity and inspire you to greater creative heights for your next video production or motion design project. No more staring at an empty timeline hoping for inspiration! Instead you can choose one of these unique creative vistas as the base for your next project. Unlike our more complex Editor's Toolkit or ready2go animated backgrounds and projects, the Animated Canvases product line is not about customizable layers and lots of motion elements. It's about giving your text, your videos and your ideas the perfect subtle supporting backdrop on which to project your message.

Remember when you had to play around with the rabbit ear antennas or hit the side of the television set to get a clear picture? Now with PROSTATIC™ from Pixel Film Studios™ you can recreate the static effects of an old television or VCR in Final Cut Pro X. This collection of over 50 static effects can simulate everything from VCR tracking to a night time surveillance camera.

One of the weakest aspects of many video productions is the treatment of text and the integration of text with footage and other graphic material. This task can often get left to the last minute because there is so much else to do in producing the final piece. This is where Toxic Type Collection 11: High Impact comes in. These all-new easy-to-use After Effects templates are fully fleshed-out text-centric animations with a high impact theme. They can be used to present your titles and text information in an attractive yet hard-hitting dynamic professional style. You can build your project around them or drop them into an existing multi-segment production with minimal customization to add just the right touch of polished sophistication to your titles.
