How can I adjust the speed of the snowfall?Updated a month ago
Quick answer
To adjust snowfall speed in Seasonly, open the Seasonly embed settings, switch the effect to Custom, then fine-tune Min Speed, Max Speed, and Speed Variance while checking the live preview.
INFO
If the standard Min Speed and Max Speed range does not feel slow enough or fast enough, increase Speed Variance to widen the movement range.
Fastest way to change it
1. Open the Seasonly settings - In Shopify, open your theme editor and go to the Seasonly app embed settings.
2. Switch to Custom - Set the snowfall effect to Custom so you can edit the full speed controls.
3. Adjust the speed controls - Use Min Speed for the baseline speed, Max Speed for the fastest flakes, and Speed Variance to widen or soften the range.
4. Preview and save - Check the live preview, then click Save when the snowfall looks right.
FAQ
Q. Which setting makes snowfall slower?
A. Lower Min Speed first. If the effect still feels too even, increase Speed Variance slightly to create a broader range of movement.
Q. Which setting makes snowfall faster?
A. Raise Min Speed for a generally faster effect, then increase Speed Variance if you want more fast-moving flakes.
Q. What does Speed Variance do?
A. Speed Variance controls how much variation there is between slower and faster flakes. The default is 4, which gives a natural mix for most stores.
Q. When should I change max speed?
A. Change Max Speed when you want to limit or expand the top end of the snowfall movement. Use it together with Min Speed for a more controlled range.
Q. What is the best starting point?
A. Keep Speed Variance at 4, adjust Min Speed until the snowfall feels close to what you want, then make small changes to Max Speed and Speed Variance.
Q. How do I make the movement look more even?
A. Reduce Speed Variance. This makes the flakes move more consistently instead of mixing noticeably slow and fast motion.
TIP
Use the live preview after each change so you can judge the snowfall against your store banner images, product pages, and mobile layout before saving.
