I decided to try animating a Vue snowglobe. I rendered 3 copies of the image, moving the snow down a little in the globe between copies, and also rendered a mask so I could remove the globes from their background. Then I put them in PhotoImpact, Used the mask to isolate the globes and put them on layers in a single image. Then I made three transparent gifs, each with one of the images visible. Finally used Animation Shop to make the animation from these gifs.

I kept it small because I wasn't sure how big an image I could use from Vue in an anim, but I could have made it a bit bigger, cos the finished anim is only 47K. It was very quick and easy to do. When the snowglobe season comes round again I will try a bigger one, but for now I am satisfied to know it can be done.

You can make proper movies using Vue, but they make big files and for a snowglobe I preferred to go down the road of using gifs and anim shop.
