Digital Juice Closed without Warning

We just got a real kick in the head - Digital Juice has shut down with no warning whatsoever. We were a lifetime member. Now we have no source of video elements such as lower third graphic backgrounds, wipes, and other effects.

I'd love to hear about other options. It looks like the templates on Adobe Stock are pretty limited.

I was a lifetime member too - loved their music - I have to believe all of those assetts are on a server somewhere that I wish someone would re-enable - especially for the lifetimers.

 

I biught int Melody Music - I find it is not as good but at least there are no monthly subscriptions - just a flat one-time fee that I bought into for life.  Hopefully for more than the life of the owner of that site.

 

If anyoneknows anyone at Digital Juice add my vote to resgoring the content - even if it doesn't get renewed there was a lot of good stuff to be had.

Unfortunately, the family or the trust already sold the content. So we, the
lifetime members, are stuck in the cold with nothing.

DJ had pretty much abandoned new content years ago, all going to BusyBoxx, but it was still worth the nominal fee each month for access to the huge library.  I wish they had handled it better and definitely wish i had downloaded my BusyBoxx content.  That was a lot of stuff purchased.

Purchased most of DJ's physical products since 2006 then joined as a founding member of their subscription service.  Also bought many volumes of Busyboxx series but downloaded just a few.  Really upset of their unethical move of sudden close which did not allow its subscribers to download any wanted files at all.  Joined https://digitaljuiceexchange.com couple days ago and was able to retrieve some of the Busyboxx files I need.

Thanks for sharing this link. Many of my discs no longer work so this is better than nothing. Hoping someone uploads some of the HD content.  Most of the DVDs are not great for working on 1080p or 4K projects.  So upsetting that they gave no warning, especially to lifetime members.

Thanks to those who started Digitaljuiceexchange.com.  I have retrieved some of the Fonts that I had lost, but I am lost on how to install them without the disks.  Does anyone know how?

It's terrible... just found out today. I paid the lifetime membership just a year ago with barely any used downloads and now they shut down without warning. I hope  they reopen the store for one year at least so people can download as much as they can.

i was a lifetime member and really was shocked that they would close the site down after the owner died.  Without warning

I'm a Founding Member as well, and agree with the comments initially mentioned here. I also have several of the purchased discs that I now want to copy the content onto my hard drives for quicker access, however, it looks like I'll need the Juicer3 software to access the content. Is the Juicer3 software available somewhere to download?

This Digital Juice shutdown is unacceptable behavior for an commercial website. Unfortunately I'm not familiar with US consumer protection law, but it shouldn't be legal. In any case, that would not be possible in Europe. Unfortunately, you can no longer access the terms and conditions (probably not without reason) to check whether this fits the value proposition. Definitely a slap in the face for all Lifetime models. We will probably now have to take a closer look at which content platform we still trust. Does the shutdown also mean that the rights of use of the content that has already been downloaded will be waived?

Digital Juice was a go to for me, super upset they closed down. Condolences to the family. It was such a clean and easy source for SO MUCH CONTENT! Will be sorely missed!!!

Yes, condolences to the family for sure.

But what an awful thing for management to do to lifetime members.
They should've kept the servers open for 6 mos or a year and let lifetime members download what they want. They would of course probably need to put a daily limit.

David Richard Hebel was or is 52 years old. His father James is 72. From Ocala, Florida. I can find no info yet anyone by that name died in November, but will keep looking on Ancestry and Newspapers.com. Not sure what is going on, but I have never heard of a company that does that much business only having one employee.

I have used Motionarry. They are okay but not quite the variety that Digital Juice had. However, in recent years, it seems like Digital Juice wasn't adding a lot of new content that could compete with some of the other sites out there.  But they were still affordable.

I joined Digital Juice Exchange http://digitaljuiceexchange.com and got all Digital Juice files as well as all Boxx files avialable for me to download.  It is even better than the old Digital Juice site.
