Apple Motion 4 - Manual (Page 741)

Sequencing: This pop-up menu specifies how the sequence animation moves through
the elements of the pattern, based on the change from the original parameter value to
the value set in the Sequence Replicator parameters. The starting point for the sequence
animation is based on the selected Origin or Build Style parameters (in the Replicator
tab). For example, if a line replicator’s Origin parameter is set to End Point, the sequence
animation begins at the end of the line and moves toward the start of the line by default.
To change the starting point for the sequence animation, change the Origin or Build Style
of the pattern in the replicator controls (in the Replicator tab or HUD). The Sequencing
options are:
• To: Specifies that the animation begins at the original value of the cells and moves to
the value set in the Sequence Replicator behavior for that parameter. For example, if
the original opacity value of a cell is 100%, and opacity is set to 0% in the Sequence
Replicator parameters, the onscreen elements begin completely opaque and become
completely transparent.
• From: Specifies that the animation moves from the value set in the Sequence Replicator
behavior to the original value of the cells. For example, if the original opacity value of
a cell is 100% and opacity is set to 0% in the Sequence Replicator parameters, the
onscreen elements begin completely transparent and become completely opaque.
This is the opposite of the To option in the Sequencing pop-up menu.
• Through: Specifies that the sequence goes through a full animation cycle starting at
the original value of the cells, moves to the value set in the Sequence Replicator, and
then returns to the original value of the cells. For example, if the original opacity value
of a cell is 100% and opacity is set to 0% in the Sequence Replicator parameters, the
onscreen elements begin completely opaque, become transparent, and then become
completely opaque again.
• Through Inverted: Specifies that the sequence goes through an inverted animation cycle
starting from the value set in the Sequence Replicator, moves to the original value of
the cells, and then returns to the value set in the Sequence Replicator. For example, if
the original opacity value of a cell is 100% and opacity is set to 0% in the Sequence
Replicator parameters, the onscreen elements begin completely transparent, become
opaque, and then become completely transparent. This is the opposite of the Through
Sequencing option.
