Using the replicator – Apple Motion 4 User Manual
Page 665
Patterns of repeating elements are prevalent in various types of motion graphics projects,
from television title sequences, to news intros, to bumpers, to commercials. Creating
these complex collages is usually very time-consuming, requiring careful duplication of
elements, followed by tedious keyframing. The Motion replicator automates many of the
chores usually associated with setting up cascading arrays of kaleidoscopic imagery,
allowing you to create and animate your replicated images in dramatic ways quickly and
easily.
