Apple Motion 4 - Manual (Page 720)

Important: If the Show Objects As parameter is set to a nonimage mode upon exporting
the project, the project renders in that selected mode.
• Points: Each element is represented by a single point. This is the fastest preview mode.
When you choose Points, the Point Size slider appears, allowing you to increase the
size of the points for easier viewing. In the following image, the Point Size is set to 8.
• Lines: This option is effective only when the elements of the replicator are animated
using Simulation behaviors or the Throw (Basic Motion) behavior. The movement of
each pattern element is represented by a line and is useful in analyzing the vector of
each element’s motion. The length of each line is determined by that element’s speed,
and the angle of each line equals each element’s direction. In the following image, the
replicator elements are animated using the Vortex behavior.
Note: Element movement created by using the Sequence Replicator behavior or by
keyframing the replicator parameters is not displayed.
