Using Behaviors

Opening a parameter’s Animation menu in the Inspector displays the names of all the
behaviors currently applied to that parameter. Choosing one automatically opens that
item’s Behaviors tab.

Like all other behaviors, when a Parameter behavior is applied to an object in your
project, a Behaviors icon appears in the Animation menu of the affected parameter in
the Properties, Behaviors, or Filters tab where it is applied, as well as in the Animation
menu of each affected parameter in the Keyframe Editor.

Reassigning a Parameter Behavior to Another Parameter

Once you apply a Parameter behavior, it remains assigned to that parameter unless you
reassign it. This is possible using the Apply To (“Go”) pop-up menu, located at the
bottom of the Parameter behavior controls in the HUD or Behaviors tab.

The Apply To (“Go”) pop-up menu displays all of the properties available for the object
to which the behavior is applied. If an object has other behaviors or filters applied to it,
those parameters also appear within submenus of the Apply To (“Go”) pop-up menu.

To reassign a Parameter behavior to another parameter in the HUD:

1

In the Layers tab, Timeline, or Behaviors tab of the Inspector, select the Parameter
behavior you want to reassign.

2

In the HUD, choose a new parameter from the Apply To (“Go”) pop-up menu.

The Parameter behavior is applied to the newly chosen parameter and the Apply To
field is updated to reflect the new assignment. In the Inspector, the Behaviors icon now
appears next to the new parameter.

To reassign a Parameter behavior to another parameter in the Inspector:

1

Select the object containing the Parameter behavior you want to reassign.

In this example, the Oscillate
and Randomize Parameter
behaviors are affecting the
Size parameter of the
Crystallize filter.
