on the falling snow tutorial, is there any way you can set the layer that the snow falls on. i only want the “snow” to fall under a mask i created. as of now, it looks like the origional “snowflake” stays inside the mask, but all the duplicates just go overtop the entire movie.

any help would be greatly appriciated.

tahnk you.

Where are you putting the mask? If you place it over all the snow, and make sure each layer is indented underneath it, the mask should apply to all the snowflakes.
