Hi !  
I used Kirupa’s excellent falling snow titorial, but cannot figure out one thing :  
I want the falling snow to work within a masked area ( imagine a snowglobe , and the snow only inside it ) .  
Whatever I seem to do , it insists on snowing everywhere 🙂 .

second issue - I inserted the falling snow at frame x in my movie, as thats when i want it to start ‘snowing’ in my snowglobe.  
It works fine at first viewing , the snow kicks in on cue.  
But i hit the ‘replay’ button my movie , the snow starts at the beginning of the scene , not at the frame i specified .

Any solutions ?  
Ciao, wonkat
