The basics

What is a snow green screen?

A snow green screen is a clip of falling snow on a flat green background. You put it above your footage in an editor, remove the green with a chroma key, and only the snow is left, falling over your video.

This page opens on white six-armed snowflakes up close, with smaller snow behind them, drifting to the right in gusts. On a green background every flake is solid white with no blur or transparency, so the key has a clean edge to find and no green shows through the snow.

Prefer softer, out-of-focus snow? Choose the Midnight look and use a Screen blend instead: on its black, the nearest flakes are blurred and the distant ones fade, which a green key couldn't keep.

To put it on your video, see how to add a snow overlay in CapCut, Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve and Final Cut Pro.

How it works

How to make a snow green screen video.

Four steps, about a minute, and nothing to install.

  1. 1

    Choose the snow

    Set the amount from Flurries to Blizzard, and pick soft dots or six-armed crystals for the nearest flakes, in a small, medium or large size.

  2. 2

    Set how it falls

    Pick the fall speed, add wind from the left or the right, make it gusty, and choose how much each flake sways on the way down.

  3. 3

    Pick the length and background

    Choose a length from 4 to 30 seconds. Keep the black background for a Screen blend, switch to green for chroma key, and set the snow color if you want it other than white.

  4. 4

    Download the MP4

    Press Download. The video is rendered in your browser at 1080p and saved to your device. No account, no watermark.

When a snow overlay isn’t enough

The free snow overlay is the starting point.

Here you get snow to lay over your shot. In Rescroll you describe the graphic you want, like “start the snow the moment I say it's finally winter, and keep it behind me, not over my face”, and it's designed from scratch on your own video, placed around you and timed to the word. Want it heavier? Ask in the chat.

Questions

Snow green screen video: your questions, answered.

How do I use a snow green screen video?

Put it on the track above your footage in your editor and apply a chroma key to the green. The green disappears and the snow falls over your video.

Why are the flakes solid on the green version?

Because a chroma key works best on hard edges. A soft or half-transparent flake would carry some of the green into your shot, so on green, or any key color, the snow is drawn solid, with nothing blurred and nothing faded.

Can I get round snow instead of snowflake shapes on green?

Yes. Choose Soft dots under Flakes. Distant flakes stay small and slow, near ones large and fast, and all of them stay solid white on the green.

Is green screen or black better for a snow overlay?

Black, using the Midnight look, gives the softer, more realistic snow, because it keeps the blur and the faint distant flakes. You lay it over footage with a Screen blend. Green suits editors that only have a chroma key, or snow in a color other than white.

Is the snow overlay maker free?

Yes. It's free to use and free to download, with no account, no email address and no watermark on the video. There's no limit on how many you make.

What format and resolution is the video?

An MP4 with H.264 video, at 1080p in the shape you choose: 1080×1920 (9:16) for TikTok, Reels and Shorts, 1920×1080 (16:9) for YouTube, 1080×1080 (1:1), or 1080×1350 (4:5) for the Instagram feed. You can export at 30 or 60 frames per second.

Can I get the snow overlay with a transparent background?

MP4 can't store transparency, so the snow overlay comes ready to key instead. Set the background to green and remove it with chroma key in your editor. If the graphic is light, you can also set the background to black and use the Screen blend mode. Either way only the snow overlay is left over your footage.

Is my video uploaded anywhere?

No. The snow overlay is drawn and encoded on your own device, using your browser's built-in video encoder. Nothing is sent to a server and there's no render queue.

Can I use the snow overlay in client work, ads or monetized videos?

Yes. The video you download is yours to use in personal and commercial projects, with no attribution needed.

Can I match my brand, add my logo or change the design?

Not in the free maker, which is deliberately simple. That's what Rescroll's AI motion graphics are for: describe the graphic you want in plain English, attach your logo, fonts or a screenshot of your style, and it's designed from scratch on your own video, placed around you and timed to the word you say. Ask for any change in the chat. It's part of the Pro, Ultimate and Scale plans.
