Programs similar to Apple Motion?

[jrm27]

Hi all:

I've been looking for a program to create "Motion Backgrounds" to be used at our church... basically just 30 second clips of vector art moving through the screen and such. I've been told that Motion and After Effects are two programs that can be used for that type of work. However, at this point, I'm just starting out and don't have tons of dough to spend on the programs. Do you know of any others that I could try that might be a little lighter on the pocketbook?

Found http://jahshaka.org/ - seems to be a very simple alternative. I'm actually downloading now to give it a try.

An alternative [better?] solution

DigitalJuice.com has royalty-free motion backgrounds offered as either "Juice Drops" or in co-ordinated theme sets at very reasonable rates. Quality is outstanding. Consider their "Featured Products" category to get best sale prices available. Agape.

Alternate [better?] solution

Sorry, what I meant was "Jump Backs" . 'Juice Drops' are the still graphics.
