m Select the object to which you want to apply a behavior. Then, click the Add Behavior
icon in the Toolbar and choose the behavior you want to apply.
To apply a behavior to multiple objects:
1 Select all of the objects to which you want to apply the behavior.
2 Do one of the following:
• Choose a behavior from the Add Behavior pop-up menu in the Toolbar.
• Select a behavior in the Library, then click Apply in the Preview area.
Note: You can also apply behaviors directly to layers in the Layers tab or Timeline. In
general, behaviors applied to a layer affect all the objects nested within that layer as if
they were a single object. Some Simulation behaviors, however, can be set to affect
elements individually.
Once a behavior is applied to an object, use the Dashboard or the Behaviors tab to
adjust the behavior parameters.
Applying Multiple Behaviors to Objects
There is no limit to the number of behaviors you can add to an object or layer in
Motion. When multiple behaviors are applied to a single object, they all work together
to create a final animated effect.
Each behavior applies a value range to a specific parameter of an object. When multiple
behaviors are added to an object, the values generated by all behaviors that affect the
same parameters are combined together to create the end result. For example, applying
the Throw and Gravity behaviors to a single object results in the combined result of the
Throw and Gravity behaviors affecting the position of the object.
Multiple behaviors applied to a single object appear beneath that object in the Layers
tab and Timeline.
