Backgrounds, timers, video backgrounds

[pamslice]

Using Media Shout (and not very experienced) and am looking for an inexpensive way to upgrade and enhance my library of backgrounds, 5-minute timers, etc. Anyone have any special sites they use? Am thinking of a yearly or monthly membership. Need something that works well with Media Shout and very user-friendly.

Free Worship Loops and Motion Backgrounds | Free Worship Backgrounds

Some of these, like Muddy River Media and Reel Worship, are all no charge - all the time. Others offer a freebie now and then. Just keep an eye open periodically. The one at the bottom (Free Worship Loops) is fairly new.

Hope these help some!

Shift Worship has a yearly membership with a wide variety of backgrounds and timers and there are many other sites also. Probably just google christian motion backgrounds and there will be a lot you can look at.

Here's one that has some great HD motion loops for free:

I also use a lot of Digital Juice (www.digitaljuice.com), but those cost although you can find a deal every now and then. I also have annual membership to Sharefaith (http://www.faithclipart.com/).

Finally, VideoBlocks runs a free 7-day trail (limited to 20 downloads a day). But, you have to remember to cancel your subscription before end of 7th day or you'll get charged a monthly fee.

My favorite is Worshipfilms.com - Not subscription based, but great stuff in both shorter and long format loops and countdowns. You can buy in themed sets or individually and they usually have a weekly special on one or more sets.

Centerline New Media too!

Worshiphouse.com is a good resource for many of the "for-sale" ones listed above and others, and they have frequent discounts which makes the stuff more affordable.

Don't forget you can make your own countdowns with MediaShout as well using any video you choose and the internal countdown, which can be reformatted, have the font and color changed, etc. If you don't want to insert the count manually each time just record your output for re-use as often as you want.

Don't forget that ChurchMedia.net offers a Pro Membership for only $39.95 a year and our libary has about 20K different bits of media including motion backgrounds and countdowns! Go Pro!

I would say this is the best subscription for non-geeky media people. I have learned, used much of what is here. (even to finding other sites that benefit me)
thanks to all of you
