Beautiful. Curious what colours make up the milky colour you speak of. I assume you're not adding white, do you mean just a watered down mid colour?

[@NatureStudioTV]

Hi Noe, you can alter the playback speed of the video if it's too fast for you. Just go into 'settings' (in the video screen), 'playback speed' and then choose a slower speed. I hope this helps!
