    Does anyone have any ideas as to how I could loop a snow effect. I am working on a 15sec loopable animation that includes snow. I have tried many of the different snow effects(trapcode, DE snow, FE snow, CC snow) with no luck. I have had the best luck with CC snow, but it still has a small jump. Any ideas would help.

    Thanks!

    The problem is that particle systems are built to be appear to be random. But they are not. They must be repeatable so they all have random seed inputs.
    Some particles have keyframable random seed fields. Some filters will allow you to return to a random seed entry.

    Back in the olden days, I would have created a forty second snow animation movie and created a dissolve between two copies just before the loop point. It’s easier to mess with on a timeline that to explain.

    Hope you get additional advice.
