In this case, Ive added one of the lower thirds you can get from here. I then added a Christmas tree background behind that third to make it into a nice little scene just like you see below. Now all we need is snow To add snow, simply go to Media Generators Noise Texture Standard Noise. Bank Of England Font. Click and drag the Standard Noise texture in on top of the other tracks on its own video track. Now in the Standard Noise Texture settings, you need to set how long you want it to be. By default, its set to 1. This can be whatever duration you need for your particular project. I do want to mention that if you need the clip to be longer than a minute, the snow may move very slow. You may have to duplicate the track and cross fade them together. The cross fade wont be too noticeable. Now, set Color 1 to white and Color 2 to transparent. Go to, Frequency and change the X and Y frequency settings both all the way up to 3. Well go ahead and leave the Offset alone for now and skip to the Noise Parameters. In the Noise Parameters, I got some decent snow with the following settings. Min 0. 0. 00. Max 0. Bias 0. 1. 60. Amplitude 1. Grain amplitude falloff 0. After Effects Sony VegasNow, these settings can be different depending on how you want the snow to look. These settings will mainly adjust the thickness of the snow so its really user preference. Now that were done adjusting the thickness of the snow, lets animate it Remember the Offset we skipped a few lines ago Lets go back to that. Were going to be animating all three of these parameters, starting with Y.

Play Game Goodgame Cafe'>Play Game Goodgame Cafe. Click the little animate button to the right of Y. Position the cursor all the way to the end. New Blue Effects Sony VegasMake sure youre not zoomed in on the timeline otherwise the end may only look like its 5 seconds when its really 5 minutes long. With the cursor at the end of the timeline, bring the Y offset down depending on how fast you need the snow to go. Products for video editors and videographers Plugins, stock footage, color grading presets, templates, overlays visual effects for Adobe After Effects, Premiere. I set mine at 3. The maximum it will go is 5. If you need it to go faster, simply close the Media Generator window, hold CTRL at the end of your clip and drag backwards to speed up the clip. You can also slow down the clip by dragging forward. I have a tutorial on that here. Now lets animate the Progress in degrees. Position your cursor at the end of the timeline, click the stopwatchanimate button. Move the progress up to your desired offset. Ive set mine here to 5. This will control the snows progress, meaning randomize the pattern and make it look more realistic. Ok, now were ready to animate the X offset. Were going to be gentle with this one otherwise it may look like a drug dealer lost all of his products. Ive positioned my cursor toward the middle of the timeline and clicked the old animate button once more. Ive adjusted the X offset to 0. To prevent the animation from jumping around, select the first keyframe, then while holding Shift, select the very last keyframe. You should now have all your keyframes selected. Right click and choose, Smooth Fade just to ensure that our animation will be nice and smooth. There you have it Snow in Vegas You can create more noise textures to include different sizes of snow either very small or large flakes. If you want to simulate the snow being close to the camera and out of focus, simply add a Sony Defocus event effect to the clip, bring down the radius and your snow will be blurred as if it were out of focus. Thats it Youve just created snow in Vegas. Or at least learned how.
