Quantize – Apple Motion 4 User Manual
Page 481

When the Oscillate behavior is selected, you can see the keyframed Amplitude value in
the Keyframe Editor (when Animated is chosen from the Show pop-up menu).
Quantize
The Quantize behavior lets you create an incremental animation in any keyframed or
behavior-influenced parameter. For example, if opacity is animated so that an object
gradually fades in over time, you can add the Quantize behavior to make the object
become opaque in steps.
Note: The Quantize behavior only works with animated parameters.
Parameters in the Inspector
Step Size:
A value slider that defines the size of the steps, based on the units of the
parameter to which it is applied. For example, when Quantize is applied to rotation, the
steps are in degrees (even though it is not a dial control). When applied to position, the
steps are in pixels.
The following left screenshot shows the projected path (the red line) of a layer with an
applied Throw behavior. The right image displays the same animation path after the
Quantize behavior is added. In this example, the Step value is set to 90.
