Custom: Allows you to use animation originally created in the source layer’s parameters

(except alpha parameters) or to keyframe how the animation moves through the values
set in the Sequence Replicator parameters over an individual element. Each element
undergoes the same value sequence. When Custom is chosen from the Sequencing
pop-up menu, the Source parameter becomes available.

Source:

This pop-up menu becomes available when Custom is chosen from the

Sequencing pop-up menu. The Source options are:

Use Source Animation: If the source layer parameters are keyframed (in the Replicator

tab or HUD), choose this option to enable the animation created by those keyframes.

Ignore Source Animation: If the source layer parameters are keyframed (in the Replicator

tab or HUD), choose this option to ignore the animation created by those keyframes.

Unit Size:

This pop-up menu specifies whether the sequence animation is applied to the

replicator pattern as a whole, to its individual elements, or to a keyframed range. The
Unit Size options are:

Object: Applies the sequence animation over each element as its own entity. Object is

the default setting.

When Unit Size is set to Object, each replicator
pattern cell is affected individually.
