Stop, Wriggle, Rate, and Quantize

Now that we've been introduced to our first parameter behavior in Chapter 2, Looking at Motion's Library, let's look at a few more and see what they can do.

How to do it...

1. Open 03_06 from the exercise folder for this chapter.

2. Press the Space bar to play back the animation. It's four arrows travelling from left to right across the screen. We're going to add a different parameter behavior to all three and see the effects. Stop the playback. Move the playhead to the 5-second mark in the mini-Timeline. In the Layers tab, select the S layer. Press the F1 key to go to the Properties tab. Ctrl + click on the word Position. Navigate to Add Parameter Behavior | Stop. Start the playback. The arrow stops dead in its tracks at 5 seconds and remains there till the end of the animation.

   

3. Select the W layer. Press the F1 key to go to the Properties tab. Ctrl + click on the word Position and navigate to Add Parameter Behavior | Wriggle.

4. Click on the Behaviors tab in the Inspector...
