  • Getting it to begin to snow, seconds into the shot

    Posted by Dale001 on June 9, 2006 at 5:05 pm

    A true AE beginner here with a question….

    In a 12 second shot, I would like it to begin to snow about six seconds into the shot and last for the shot’s duration. I’m guessing this involves keyframing, but I am not able to get it to begin at the specific time; I’m only able to get it to snow for the whole shot, beginning to end. Can someone supply the basic steps please?

    True beginners go to this forum 🙂

    Keyframe the opacity in the timeline from 0% to 100% in one frame. Or simply cut the layer’s snow alpha video. Wait, is your snow taken part of your original footage or is it an alpha footage with only snow placed over your original footage?

    It will be placed over the original footage and thanks for the big tip. Dale
