STEP 2 - Overlay Control

First let’s adjust our Overlay Controls Start by choosing a vignette color. There are red, green and blue sliders along with an opacity slider so you can get the exact look you want. Next control the position and spread of the vignette by adjusting the designated sliders or by using the on screen controls. Click and drag the center puck in the viewer window to position the vignette. To adjust the spread click and drag the outside of the circle.

STEP 3 - Style Controls

Next is the style controls section where we will customize our snowflakes. Begin by selecting a color for the snowflakes, Then adjust the birth rate, scale, and opacity. The Birth Rate Slider controls how many shapes emerge from the emitter every second. The New snow generate button will cycle through different snowflake positions and birth rates. When you are finished with the style controls, Move down to the Background Controls.

STEP 4 - Background Controls

Now let’s start customizing our Background Controls. Start by adjusting the overall opacity and texture opacity. Next select a color for the background. Click any of the colored squares on the bottom of the color bar. Once you have a colored square selected you can now change the color of the background. There are red, green, and blue sliders along with an opacity slider for each color option so you can get the exact color you want. Underneath you have an interpolation option and a location slider. The location slider will allow you to control the coverage of each color that is present in your background. Next you have the option of changing the type of your color between linear and radial. The Linear type will give you a line and the radial type will show a circle which the color generates from. After choosing a type you can keyframe where the color type starts and ends.

STEP 5 - Text Controls

Next alter your main title and subtitle text by using the text boxes in the inspector window or by simply clicking on the text in the viewer window. Position the text anywhere on the screen by clicking and dragging the text in the viewer window.
