You can also change the interpolation modes of keyframes to Exponential. For more information,

Set curve interpolation on page 474.
Parameters in the Inspector
•
Start Value: A slider that sets the value that’s added to the parameter at the first frame of the
Exponential behavior.
•
End Value: A slider that sets the value the Exponential behavior reaches at the last frame of the
behavior. Over the life of the behavior, the parameter the Exponential behavior is applied to
makes a transition from the Start Value to the End Value, plus the original value.
•
Start Offset: A slider that delays the beginning of the behavior’s effect relative to the first frame
of its position in the Timeline, in frames. Adjust this parameter to make the behavior start later.
•
End Offset: A slider that offsets the end of the behavior’s effect relative to the last frame of its
position in the Timeline, in frames. Adjust this parameter to make the behavior stop before
the actual end of the behavior in the Timeline. Using this slider to stop the effect, instead
of trimming the end of the behavior in the Timeline, freezes the end of the effect for the
remaining duration of the object. Trimming the end of the behavior resets the object to its
original parameter.
•
Apply To: A pop-up menu that shows the parameter affected and can be used to reassign the
behavior to another parameter.
Link
The Link behavior forces the value of one parameter to match that of another “linked” parameter.
The source parameter can be attached to the same object or to another object. The linked
parameters must contain numerical data. Parameters controlled by checkboxes, menus, and
other non-numeric values cannot be linked. The linked parameters also must contain the same
number of attributes. You cannot link a compound parameter such as Scale X-Y-Z to a parameter
such as Opacity, which has only one slider. You can however, link a compound parameter such as
Scale X-Y-Z to Position X-Y-Z.
The values of the source parameter can be scaled to more accurately apply to the destination
parameter. For example, a source parameter with a range of 1–100 can be scaled when applied
to a parameter with a range of 0–1. The values can also be offset from the source, and the effect
can be mixed with the destination value to create different effects.
