Will Falling Snow work on any photo?

Falling Snow is designed for Portrait, Product, Landscape images. Results will vary outside those categories, so pick source images that match the effect's intent.

Can I control how Falling Snow moves?

Yes — the planned controls for this effect include Flake density, Fall speed, Depth layers, so you'll be able to tune the result rather than accept a single fixed look.

Will Falling Snow loop seamlessly?

Yes — Falling Snow is designed to loop seamlessly, so the animation can play on repeat without a visible seam or jump cut.

Falling Snow

Concept

Animates softly drifting snowflakes at varied depths across the frame.

Concept effect — not yet available in the AniFX app.

About this effect

Falling Snow places multiple layers of snowflakes at different simulated depths, each drifting downward at a slightly different speed and size to imply depth of field. Flakes gently sway rather than falling in a straight line, and the loop is built so no single flake pattern repeats obviously. Flake density, size range, and fall speed are all independently adjustable.
