Using the Replicator
The Replicator allows you to easily create patterns of
repeating elements that can be quickly animated in
mechanical or organic ways.
Patterns of repeating elements are prevalent in various types of motion graphics
projects, including television title sequences, news graphics, bumpers, and
commercials. This type of graphic—created through the careful duplication of
elements, followed by animating those elements with keyframes—is usually very time-
consuming.
The replicator in Motion is specifically designed to quickly and fluently build such
patterns of repeating elements, including video, still images, shapes, or other layers in a
Motion project. For example, with very few clicks of your mouse you can create a “video
wall” from a QuickTime movie, a spinning pinwheel, or other mesmerizing graphics.
