Apple Motion 4 - Manual (Page 444)

Phase: When Wave is the defined path shape, this dial defines the degrees of the offset
of the waves from the start and end points of the path. When set to 0 degrees (default),
the wave begins and ends at half the distance from the highest point to the lowest point
in the wave. When set to 90 degrees, the wave begins and ends at the highest point in
the wave. When set to –90 degrees, the wave begins at the lowest point in the wave.
When set to 180 degrees, the waves are the same as 0 degrees, but inverted.
Damping: When Wave is the defined path shape, this slider progressively diminishes the
oscillation of the wave. Positive damping values diminish the wave forward (from left to
right); negative values diminish the wave backward (from right to left).
Wave shape Damping value set to 0 Damping value set to 3
Damping value set to –3
Attach to Shape: When Geometry is the defined path shape, this checkbox, when
activated, forces the motion path to follow the source shape at its original location. When
disabled, the motion path can exist in a location other than its source shape.
Note: When Attach to Shape is on, you cannot move the object to another location.
