*The Default times are applied until you define a different time in the Chase Steps Editor.
**Loop Time = the amount of time it takes to pass through all the steps of the chase once.
Edit the loop time and all step times will be adjusted to evenly fit within this time value..
***RateMin and RateMax work together to set the playback rate of the chase. When these
values are the same, the chase is adjusted evenly. When these rates differ, the chase will
play back randomly using rate values between the Min and Max value. This is a good way to
create more organic chases for things like lightning and water reflections.
