3 Click the behavior icon (Animation menu), then choose Randomize.
The Behaviors tab is selected and the Randomize parameters are displayed.
4 Adjust the Randomize settings.
5 Click the Filters tab and play the project (press the Space bar).
Rather than a smooth transition between the Brightness values, the Threshold values
are randomly animated. In the Filters tab, you can see the keyframed Brightness value
increasing, and the Threshold behavior values changing as a result of the Parameter
behavior.
Important: For optimal processing speed, keep in mind that applying a filter to a layer
containing several objects is more efficient than applying filters to each object within a
layer individually. Also, importing media at its intended size helps reduce processing
speed. For example, if you import a large image, scale the image down, and apply
filters and behaviors to the scaled object, Motion must process the scaling information
in addition to the filters and transforms. To save processing time, import the images as
close to the size required by your project whenever possible.
