1. In Ulead VideoStudio 10+, I drag and drop the "rain" filter onto my timeline clip;
2. I click the CUSTOMIZE FILTER option of the ATTRIBUTE PANEL and that makes a new "RAIN" pop-up menu appear;
3. With my pointer positioned directly above the FIRST KEYFRAME, I adjust the LENGTH parameter to be shorter so that the "rain" looks more like "snow" and I make careful notes on a piece of paper of the settings that I choose.
4. I also experiment with the other adjustable parameters to suit my tastes;
5. I then move my pointer to the LAST keyframe and then I refer to my notes to make identical adjustments.
Voila! The "rain" filter now looks like a "snow" filter.
Try it.
It might save you the cost of buying additional effects programs.
