Good information regarding MDEs. You gotta love this stuff! Thanks again for giving more ideas to get those "juices" flowing.

Wow, Rick. Those were some really cool ideas. #3 had to be the strongest, in my opinion, but they all are inspirational. Thanks!

What fun! Especially liked the loading on layers bit for creating custom jumpbacks so that this ham-and-egger can look like a player! The rest were very cool as well! Nicely done.

Thanks Rick and crew -
Another awesome job. Great tips, well presented, with super samples.
really liked it - 5 stars

Once again you have inspired me! Thanks for another great episode Rick. I loved tip #3 and #5. Oh, and don't stop with the hands. I personally like it and think it is a great asset as a presenter. Stephanie

I love the way you bounce around from one idea to another, total info overload and it works. It definately helps me see more creative possibilities and gets those Juices flowing!! You can show me MDE uses anytime, I would love to see a Take 60 on MDE uses!!!!

Thanks to all for watching and taking the time to post comments.
The DJ Forums are a great place for further discussion on the DJTV show if you are interested...we highly encourage it!
Trevor...I'll try dude...but, no promises on the 'hands in the pocket' thing!
Thanks again all!

Great as usual. I look forward to these videos if only for the inspiration benefits. We all get good ideas from them. Well done Rick. Oh, by the way, try doing one video with your hands in your pockets. If you can't do it we all get one free MDE pack :-)

DJ team, thanks for taking the time to create these. You guys certainly love what you do and it shows. As always, I love the demos. Yea they are a sales pitch, but if you buy their products you know that they are worth it - and they are so reasonable you would be stupid not to buy all they had. I just bought a friggen boatload of products, and I cant tell you how great I look to all my customers. Keep up the good work.
Would love to see a DJ episode on green screens. I do quite a bit of pro keying and am always looking to learn more.

Should rebrand these informercials for what they are. You still have tips but they are really sales presentations of your products, not tutorials. Take 5 With Juice would be more a more honest title (and that would be fine with me).
You never defined a control panel and your segment titles at the end review were obscure. You make a lot of assumptions on terms you don't define. When things turn to buzz-word soup confusion ensues.
Take 5 used to be just 5 quick tips on one theme, not five uses of each DJ element every way but Sunday. This was a mishmash of ideas and products and left me without a clear take away utility. Compare this series to how 'Audio Buzz' presents a clear concept and memorable take away points.
Simplify and focus. It worked for Thoreau, it will work for you, too.

Rick, another very nice presentation. You always give us good tips and great suggestions for using DJ materials.

What a great clip. I do agree that #3 was the best yet. With that being said, I wish there was a short video or a thread on your forums that would go into more detail about the steps and programs that you used to make these effects.
As a video noob, spoon fed with Pinnacle Studio, all I can do is look at amazement at what can be done with your products. Yet, I am looking from outside the fence, wanting to learn how you do these and get an understanding of what more can be done with your products.

Perfect timing! Great ideas some of which I can use right now.
Thanks for the hard work you guys do!

Please never stop talking about MDE's...they are my favorites too....
Tip 3 was the best part. COOL.
Tip 5 was pretty cool looking too.
Great job....
