Working with replicator presets

So far, we've created our own replicators by selecting objects to place into cells referenced by the replicator. Motion ships with over 200 replicator presets! One of the best ways to learn Motion is to dissect how some of the replicators were created. Some of the elements can be even used to create transitions between elements. Let's take a look at what it has to offer!
