I finally, after two days, got some snowflakes falling in Synfig as a greenscreen animation, but it doesn’t want to render. I tried everything like in the tutorial, and it still doesn’t work. How do I put a a print screen on the forum so you can see?

Simply drag’n’drop your screenshot on the edit box, it will be uploaded on the forum.  
Or you can use an external hosting site (like imgur).

Also, which tutorial are you following?

Please check that you defined a proper number of frames in “Time” tab.  
Also, you could change from .avi to another format, Target: ffmpeg, Parameters: Lossless as you want the best quality for green screen incrustation in video editor.
