Step 2: Particles "Making It Snow"

Next you will learn how to "Make it snow" in a video.
Go back to the video plugins tab on drag Particles onto your video clip. First if making snow uncheck the "Blend" box and check the "Linear Color" box. Then in the Creation dropdown menu change all colors to white and change the size to 1-5 (min-max). Then change the colors under the destruction menu to white also. Next move the timeline marker to the middle of your video, and open the Emitter dropdown menu and change the settings Of the radius to fit the whole video, and the dir of the "Y" to a negative number so the snow flows down, from then all the settings are fine to edit just make it how you want it!
