Fine snowflak

Postby Jean-Paul » Sat Nov 19, 2011 1:03 pm

Hi everyone,
I could not find a video mask of FINE snowflakes, so I had to create one.
The effects of depth and wind make it very convincing and natural looking snowfall.
The video grayscale mask has a duration of 20 seconds, perfectly loopable and should work
In all versions of ProShow.
I am pleased to offer it as a download to all PSE members who want to use it in their winter shows.

Have a nice Christmas and New Year Holiday!

Jean-Paul

Hello everyone,
Thank you for your interest in this video mask.
I am working to improve it; the problem is to find the
right codec to keep the original quality.
The original video that I created is much better quality
but is not accepted in ProShow.
The most beautiful thing about this snow is that you do not
have to shovel it ahah!
Have fun

Jean-Paul

In addition to this snow style, I would like to have
a snow like the background on this weeks "Wheel
Of fortune" It has large flakes coming down slowly.
Kinda like the snow is just starting.

Hi Forrest,

I made a snow video in the spring, in photoshop using the animation software in CS4. I still have the PSD file. If someone would like to have it, you simply need to exchange the photo included with your own and save as an mpeg 4. I can also provide it with plain black background so you can use it as a mask. ( I was using Gold back then and didn't know how to mask in proshow)
Once in Proshow, just adjust how blurry you want the snow to be. Let me know.. If anyone is interested, I'll upload it to the net and put a link here. to the File.

You can see what the snow looks like in my youtube video at approximately 1:55 into the show.

Well, I uploaded it to my website just in case someone wanted it, it includes both a .psd file and a video to be used as a grayscale mask.

You are very welcome, glad to help someone out; people here have been very generous in helping me figure stuff out. Hopefully, there will be more chances for me to give something back. :-)

I just got a message from someone and I didn't realize that not everybody knew how to add the video to their slidehow.

here's how:
Bring your slide that you want snow on as a layer
Put the layer with the video on top of that.
In the video setting, check the mask box and set to intensity grayscale.
Now between your snow video layer and your photo, place a blank white layer.
Go to the editing page
choose your video layer, and bring up the brightness and bring up the blur a bit to a degree that pleases you.
in the video settings, you should probably also loop the video until the end of the slide
In Speed, lower to 30-40% for nice slowly falling snow.

Good luck
Maggie

Jean Paul and Maggie - This was very thoughtful and generous of you.

These will work great for a Christmas Card I'm working on.
