Apple Motion 4 - Manual (Page 871)

• Over Entire Duration: The setting chosen in the Speed pop-up menu is applied one time
for the length of the behavior. For example, if Speed is set to Accelerate, the rate of
the sequence animation increases as it moves through the text over the entire duration
of the behavior, regardless of the number of loops.
• Per Object: The setting chosen in the Speed pop-up menu is applied one time for each
object for every loop. For example, if Speed is set to Accelerate, the rate of the sequence
animation increases as it moves through each text object for every loop.
End Condition: Specifies how the animation is applied to the end of the sequence
animation.
• Hold: Completes the sequence animation cycle one time, then starts it over again from
the beginning (once the last text unit in the sequence has completed its animation).
• Wrap: Treats the sequence animation as a continuous loop so the spread wraps from
the last text unit in the sequence to the first text unit.
• Ping-Pong: Completes the sequence animation cycle forward, then completes the
animation backward, then forward, and so on.
End Offset: Offsets the end of the effect of the sequence behavior. By default, the
sequence animation is in effect until the end of the behavior. For example, to stop the
sequencing 60 frames from the end of the text layer (or project), drag the End Offset
slider to 60 or enter 60 in the value slider. Using this slider to stop the effect, instead of
trimming the end of the behavior in the Timeline, freezes the end of the effect for the
remaining duration of the object. Trimming the end of the behavior resets the text to its
original settings.
