How Much should you pay for something like this.  Well - for years the DJ site sold these for $250 a volume - and with the best of discounts (multiple purchases) you could get the price down to around $79 a volume.

Starting in 2006, for some reason DJ started offering incredible discounts.  For instance, in December 2006 you could get a combo of 12 volumes of Jumpbacks/HD Jumpbacks/Juice Drops/Stack Traxx for less than $20 each.  Now that is what I call a bargain.

 

So - what did I buy

I have seen the ETK for $59 each

 

And don't forget all the Mattes in ETK's 1 and 2.  Reposition them to give you some instant texture to the edges of your backgrounds to create a lower third.

While I think the suggestion is a very good one and would help to turn people on to other products, what you are asking for can be done in a number of ways.

That being said...what about adding bonus stuff to products?  Adding a Stack Traxx song to the JB volume or a JD with a Stack Traxx.  I think that would be a great idea.

Good suggestion Jerel.

 

To create L3rds out of particular jumpbacks (or any moving or still background for that purpose) you can use the alpha channel of another static or animated lowerthird (animated L3's are available in every ETK, static L3's are provided with ETK 1). Newer ETK's also provide matching lower third mattes.

To create overlays in such a way you can use either the alpha channel of another overlay or the static mattes found in ETK 1 & 2.
