As well as useful free textures, I’ll be adding the occasional motion background that you can download from my Blip.TV channel.
Take a look through the episodes to find the one you’d like to use, and click on the permalink at the bottom of the player – on the right of the page that appears, you’ll be able to download a 1024×576 MP4 file from the ‘Files and links’ section.

Just like the textures I post, these motion backgrounds are all free to use – regardless of whether your project is personal or commercial. No attribution is required – though it would be nice.

This week’s free motion background is a 20-second loop with white ripples flowing across a red (or blue) background.
If it’s not quite what you need, or you’d like to see how it was done, you can download the original After Effects CS3 project file by clicking on the following link.
